great game, the championship is irelands to lose now by virtue of already having beaten the french

[Mick Lyons]

One could almost say this result is excellent for Ireland.

[liam2me]

Yes, it's Arland's to lose in Cardiff if they even get that far.
erm, this is a league format, not a cup, of course they are going to get that far :rolleyes:

[Aphex]

I wouldn't say we're in the passenger seat...

[afeencalleddan]

erm, this is a league format, not a cup, of course they are going to get that far :rolleyes:My apologies, you said championship. I thought you meant grand slam. It'll still be all to play for in Cardiff IF Ireland get past England and Scotland. How is the Championship settled this year if 2 or more sides finish level?

its called the 6 nations championship

[afeencalleddan]

its called the 6 nations championshipThe sky is blue. I know the difference between Championship and slam, I just wasn't thinking straight when I read your post.

Answer my question. What will be the outcome if Ireland, France and Wales all finish on 8 points? Is it decided on points difference?

as far as i know its points difference, two sides on the same points might be results between the sides though

[afeencalleddan]

as far as i know its points differenceI was assuming that. It could be a repeat of two years ago.

junior training with the ville. fare play. twas good alright, if hey'd a pair of half backs they'd be mighty. question marks about jauzion too, one dynamite line break notwithstanding.

[raZor]

Great try by Byrne it must be said, unbelievable line taken for it. The French negated the threat of Roberts by putting their own mountain in the center with Baustalder(sp?)

that would be bastareaud....some size of a man for a centre...put in some huge tackles....

[Lapsy Pa]

Delighted. Arrogant taffs got what thet deserved. The fact that henson made a balls of a 3 on 2 to win the game was the icing on the cake.

If Parra got his kicks the game would have been over long before the end.

Kearney is going to have to play out of his skin for the next three months to get the no. 15 Lions jersey after Byrnes performance. If the french played like that every game then we'd all be fighting for second place.

[VzN]

We've got to do it now.

[Eoin]

Savage game alright, France showed hints of being back to the style of old, Medard made some fantastic runs and Heymans try was absolutely superb. Savage effort in defence as well. If they can find a settled half-back pairing then I think Lieveremont could be on the right track. Byrne and Shanklin in the first half an hour aside, Wales were poor enough.

The championship is ours to lose now. A win today and we're within touching distance.

[captainshamrock]

Great game. 2 best games so far have involved France. Hopefully they will get back to where they were. Big brutal forwards and backs that will cut you to pieces from anywhere.
Hopefully will all come down to the last weekend again. This is what the 5/6 nations has always been about.

Thats the guy not a bad ol' debut in fairness.

he's william gallas cousin!!!!!!!!1

Great ty yes but the player who gave Byrne the pass should not have been on the field to give it to him that was Tom Shanklin he should have been yellow carded 5 minutes earlier

[Coogee]

only 20/21 aswell

[raZor]

Was that within the 10 minutes, that was a clear cut sin binning alright, even Johnathan Davies said it on the Beeb which is something you dont see every day.

Dropped a few high balls as well. Welsh back line is savage though.

Who was george hamilton trying to fool when he said bastareaud is 15 stone 12? Roberts is 16 stone and he looks small when standing next to the bastard. The man's at least 18 stone if he's a pound.

Beeb were putting him and Roberts at 17stone each.

[Coogee]

Beeb were putting him and Roberts at 17stone each.

he is definately 7 or 8 ils heavier than roberts although roberts is 6ft 4 whereas bastareaud is about 6 ft 2

[raZor]

That should have said 17 odd stone each.
