6 Nations Rugby

Ireland, Iiiiiiireland, together, standing tall!

Bring it on

I hope you realise that you are playing against 3 million...welcome to Wales :bigsmile:

England went to Twickenham a few years back it was amazing

Agreed! Beats going to watch footie any day of the week!

The funny bit though..my wife was born in Twickenham...makes for a very interesting match day:laugh: :laugh:

Come on Wales!!!!!!

Nice little warm-up last night, with Wales under 20s beating Ireland under 20s..

The under 20's always play with belief..but for some strange reason the senior side sometimes ''go missing'' and lack the belief!
A squad with some of the best players in the world but they just don't know it yet?

Prediction (I hope and pray) Wales 25 - 22 Ireland:drinker:

Show your head the red card.

The other team may just score more points but they can never BEAT Wales - this is RUGBY!

However, I may be prejudiced and perspectively gilded since in my youth God lived in South Wales and played scrum-half.

Youth god? I'm guessing at the great Mr Edwards?

Oh yes! St Gareth - with a little help from the Pontypool front row, a succession of flyhalfs and JPR - plus some fellahs on the wings who were probably not all that important unless, of course, the bus needed a push on the way to the ground.

Very proud to say I once played in that very front row, albeit the midweek team but wore the treasured number '3' and trained by a certain Mr Price...sadly a shoulder injury ended my career too bloody early:grumble: :grumble:

Swing looooooooooooow.........sweeeeeeeet chariottttttt.......:drinker:

Nice little warm up game to start the tournament........lol

I'll wait for that to come back and bite me in the *kitten*!

I love the fact the English have adopted this song...especially as it originates from the deep Welsh valleys!

Good luck but I think this is your year:grumble: :grumble:

It originates in Oklahoma - but it does reach its most glorious moments in the valleys of south Wales (unless you count that lot from Oooop North). It's the song that the Scots get away with that amuses me - has no one actually listened to the words? ( ...and sent him homeward to think again")

the only one that matters.....


Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad. Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau, O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.

Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.
