Six Nations - Where's Cilldoubt

[DTCwordfan]

Forecast from here....

Ireland 28, Italy 12
Scotland 18, France 16
England 26, Wales 10

[ChillDoubt]

Scotland will rue those missed kicks and the Hollywood pass that engineered their demise, a very tough day at the office.

Thanks to the 4 teams who served up today's hors d'oeuvres, I await tomorrow's main course and feast with relish!

There will be no AB commentary from me tomorrow (thank gawd for that I hear you cry!) as I will be in the ale house watching the match, with one or two quiet libations........and several noisy ones!

Cymru Am Byth.

[ChillDoubt]

Just to whet the appetite.....

***, the Frogs nipped in - shame.....nearly had it on the money but alas.

[ChillDoubt]

So, to the game...........

I'm excited, nervous, worried, hopeful, downcast, terrified, upbeat, confident and scared! How and why is it that this game makes me go through the whole gamut of emotions in the space of half an hour? I'm thinking about all the personal battles on the field, who has the better scrum/loose forwards, who will shine in the lineout, who can break a tackle or two, who would I put my life on to make a try-saving one on our 5 metre line? Who will back themselves in a break up the narrow side?
Who will restrain themselves when someone deserves a thick lip? Who can deliver that flash of genius that such an occasion deserves?
Who will hold their nerve in that cauldron and give of their best? Who will keep their heads when all around them are losing theirs?
They've all got the big match temperament but who can maintain it in the heat of battle and against insurmountable odds? Who would I put next month"s wages on to split the posts with a drop goal in the dying seconds?
Why am I going through the wringer already and it's over 7 and a half hours to k.o?
How can this torture be ecstasy and vice versa?

with you in spirit chilld.

DTC back in your pen.

[ChillDoubt]

At this rate LJ I'll be ON the spirits far sooner than I ought to!

[DTCwordfan]

Don't worry Lady J or Chill, you'll soon be leeking points this afternoon....

[ChillDoubt]

Not a chance DTC, it's going to be tight and brutal.

[DTCwordfan]

well I may not agree with the first half of your statement but the second half, yes.

[jomifl]

I know the Scotland suporters have developed a habit of booing at every opportunity, but why were they booing after an excellent match against France? Are they just bad losers?

[ChillDoubt]

jomil,
Apparently their ire was directed at the referee Chris Pollock, not the Scottish team.

[DTCwordfan]

The Scots mucked up, pure and simple, that mis-pass, when they had the French by the goolies and all the rest, cost them ever so dearly. Shame.

[DTCwordfan]

I bet Chill is gnashing his teeth......the Welsh half backs need changing out toute suite.

[jomifl]

Ta Chill, does Scotland have 'history' with this ref?

[DTCwordfan]

Not that I am aware of jomifl - the issue for Scotland was that daft mispass that was intercepted, when a single pass could well have led to Scotland scoring at the very least as the French were pretty stretched at that point.

[Baldric]

Makes you proud to be English doesn't it?

[DTCwordfan]

Now, there's nothing worse than seeing a grown Welshman weeping in his Brains.

Good match though - the Welsh halfbacks and Jenkins should have been swapped out much earlier... The English 2nd row and Morgan were superb.

[jomifl]

What chance Ireland winning in Paris? I wouldn't bet on it.

[DTCwordfan]

Well there has to be a first time in 40 years. It would mean England having to put 60 past Italy in Roma - if the Irish do win.....
