ron evans Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Spent many a happy hour soaring over Cwmbran, used to drive to the top from the Newbridge side. Good effort by Italy in the first half, but lost the plot after the interception try with England running them raged in the end. Still think England will be the team to beat.

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Been out all day so missed game, we still look slow do we ?

Don Fry Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 And Ron, worked for Gwent Police for 30 years. Never for S Wales, our relationship was always frictional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron evans Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Donald, I've been flying models around the area since the mid 60's, so our paths may have crossed in that time, though not in relation to your job.

Dai Fledermaus Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Here's some food for thought. I must confess that it has seemed very lack luster to me. Is This The Worst Six Nations Ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Just a hack with a thousand words to write to justify his excessive salary. France v Ireland, error prone he says, but have you ever seen an game of rugby played in rain which was not error prone, especially when they try to run it. Probably not raining in London. It ain't that bad, it's just that they are all a bit mediocre, and the fool seemed to be marking England up as "the makings of a decent team". No one down the club is assessed a good pilot if all he does is master a trainer. Why should rugby be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 No we've seen much worse than this in the past, not been great so far but I think there'll be some better games ahead. Who'll be champions ? I haven't a clue As for England, we have some very good players, but we've a long way to go before we're a good team John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Weathers looking better so games might improve a bit Scotland to beat Italy Wales to stuff the French England v Ireland ? are we turning into a team or will we fold under pressure ? England to win and I reckon there'll be a high scoring game. John, c'mon the lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 England v Ireland, don't know. Ireland play their game to their ability, are savvy, and have the experience. Beating them is easy, be better. Heavy day tomorrow, out to a long lunch with a pair of old soaks, then 2 matches, and fitting in dog walks.

Don Fry Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 John and Ron, thank you for that, been so busy assumed no Friday game.

ron evans Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Just 6 points on the board after spending most of the first half in French territory....not good enough. Ref picky at the scrum...get on with it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron evans Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 15 mins of ferocious defence kept them out in the 3rd quarter, not pretty, just about worth staying up for. Now, where's me nightie Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Very quick/strong defence from Wales, hard side for anyone to break down.
