    I was brought up within spitting distance of Headingley, my schools were all linked to Carnegie and one of my first memories as a child was Leeds playing Wigan ... I think I prefer league, but union is still 100x better than watching poofball.

    The fact remains that the other team may technically, merely score more points but no one can ever truly beat the Welsh at rugby.

    Am I the only person who misses the old running, passing game that died when so many League coaches came into the Union game on professionalisation - playing the ball off the ground used to be illegal and we had to just let the ball roll away - now "playing off the ground" seems to be not only allowed but essential to keep the ball in play, hence instead of getting the ball out to the wings the forwards run straight at the opposition, knowing that they will keep the ball unless someone is bloody stupid. As for "lifting in the line-out", this used to be so graceful when it was illegal, now it just looks stupid (and dangerous).

    ...and another thing, In school we always had to line up in straightline to the goal for a place kick so it always went off at an angle, nowadays they run up at a right angle to the direction of the kick.

    England all the way here, glad I have managed to watch the 2 games just gone. Always gutting when I have to watch it on catch up due to playing on the Sat afternoon.

    There is a distinct lack of Scotland support on this thread.

    I'm aiming for not getting the wooden spoon this year. woohoo.

    England all the way. Not the most exciting game against Ireland but at the end of the day it's the result that counts!

    Gotta go for Scott Johnson led Scotland team... Have never met a nicer, gentler man in rugby (well, maybe John Eales) - though he's looking more prop than 5/8th these days.

    Roll on the Lions tour to my fair land - will be interesting to see what the Wobblies will be able to produce....
