Re: Rugby Union
A late break away try from the Scots doesn't matter as, after being camped out on their line for some time, England score the final points of the match with a converted try. Man of the match Owen Farrell - much deserved! Who'd have thought we'd find someone like him so soon after losing the legend that was Jonny Wilkinson.
Final score 36-18.
A long time ago I had a client who was a very proud man and told me all about his son's exploits within the England rugby league team. How much prouder he must be now knowing his son and now grandson have played such a key role for England, albeit in the 'wrong' code...

Indeed as it was a brave fightback given their chronic injury problems.

Re: Rugby Union
Yes indeed if this scoreline stays the same that will be some shock.

Re: Rugby Union
Yes - well a strong Italian side will be good for the 6 Nations - we need the tournament to be tough if we're to compete with the best.
I'm happy with England's progress. They're playing good rugby and would have hit a cricket score had the timing of their passes been better. Winning is great but the best sides know that losing a game you've played well probably teaches you more than winning a game you've played badly.
Anyway, a calculated penalty and unexpected yellow card may just have cost the Azuris with a minute to go
...
Italy win 23-18 
I expect a mutiny in the dressing room lol

A brilliant result for the Italians.

Re: Rugby Union
Six Nations 2013: Scotland 34-10 Italy
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21345281
Quote:
Stuart Hogg scored a spectacular solo try against Italy as Scotland secured their record Six Nations win and their first in the tournament for two years.
Scotland were full of intensity from the off and went 13-0 up through Tim Visser's try and Grieg Laidlaw's boot.
Luciano Orquera made it 13-3 with a penalty but Matt Scott scored a converted try soon after the break.
Hogg claimed an 80m interception try and Sean Lamont also crossed before Alessandro Zanni's consolation score.

Re: Rugby Union
Six Nations: France 6-16 Wales
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21375720
Quote:
George North's late try saw Wales end a run of eight successive Test defeats with their first Six Nations win in Paris since 2005.
The giant wing's score with eight minutes left was the highlight of a lacklustre affair on a freezing evening that saw France booed off after following up defeat by Italy with another inept display.
A penalty apiece for Frederic Michalak and Leigh Halfpenny were the only scores of a low-key opening period.

Oh dear it seems the French have been tucking into too much horsemeat.

Tough conditions too from what little I saw so they'll be delighted with a win.

A excellent win for a England side that despite their inexperience is growing in stature all the time.

Re: Rugby Union
Wood's a pillock. He tried defending it live, now Cian Healy's been rightly banned.
Backtracked in the after game commentary:
