Ireland beating the โ€œup and down like Scotlandโ€ allegations:

Next weekend three teams could win it and the wooden spoon is pretty up for grabs too. Could be the best edition of the Six Nations ever. It finally *is* anyone could beat anyone, on the day. Well almost: we have to figure out how to beat Ireland

Donโ€™t worry. Mike Tindall has already started a PR campaign to win the rest on the world back onside

These are very important statements that must be made ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

When your friend says โ€œEngland are good at rugbyโ€, just say no.

England, thank you very much for your stay at the top table of rugby. We will always remember the 12 wins in a row, the Pom Squad ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ and saying youโ€™re in the 27 RWC final.

But welcome back to the vibes and unserious table of Tier 1 rugby with your old friend Scotland, Argentina, Australia and Italy

Maybe the English Prem needs to go to 2 teams like Scotland and Italy? Just a thought.

Borthwick has always flattered to deceive for me, very good/ great technical coach but seems like he's coaching by numbers as the main man.
After week 1 we all thought Franco Smith was going to be the next Scotland coach but the way its panning out the vacancy will be further south

Ruzza in the lineout, godly

Ruzza in the backline, a warcrime.

Itoje was huge across the contest, but that yellow card for an amateurish slap down at the maul was a turning point.

England tactics were spot on for the most part, just didn't hold their nerve and convert in big moments.

Could realistically finish 6N with 1/5 record...

2 years ago maybe

But they really improve their game management and spirit when they fall behind (same against IRE or even FRA, where they competed all the game)

Yeah, that smacks of something Borthwick had decided before the game and, rather than reacting to whatโ€™s on the pitch, he just went ahead with it. Fin Smith was already cramping up by then.

I thought Itoje was having a great 2nd half getting back to his nuisance best until the card ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ it was just not the time nor place for that.

I am so lost at selection and game plan the last two weeks. Picked a team for kicking v Ireland and decided to play ball in hand like Eddie Jones 2000s Wallabies. Then picked a fresh team with a wing at 13 to go back to the kicking game?

07.03.2026 18:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

been saying it. theyโ€™re a proper team now. you canโ€™t rock up in Rome with a slapdash team full of changes and expect to roll them. England full of hubris as always.

I was so confused he came to replace Daly and not Fin Smith

She went up there to say I WAS RIGHT during JESSE JACKSON'S FUNERAL and if you don't think that's exactly the same thing Trump would've done at like Lindsey Grahams funeral, I don't know what to tell you.

Weekendโ€™s like this just demonstrates why the Six Nations is the greatest annual sporting competition in the world.

Thereโ€™s nothing like it โค๏ธ
