@MN5

I ran into Carling on the way out of Twickenham following our dire performance against Wales in RWC 2015. Had a good chat about England’s selection and tactics for 20 minutes or so, when I went left to go to the pub and he went right to go and shag the gorgeous blonde he was with.

Seemed like a good bloke and likely had a better outcome than me that evening.

My Welsh mates who've met him post-match in Cardiff tell me he's a top bloke as well. Pity the RFU can't find a role for people like him - would be a big asset.

Press going OTT on Pollock today. Boy looks a talent, but think a sense of perspective is needed.

He’s already a very annoying cun* with a face which needs to be slapped vigorously and often

Good prospect though, but one I fear will fall into the Dombrandt camp

Give me double helpings of Curry please

I really like what you did there

I hope Pollock will keep developing but he doesn't get near the starting XV for a while yet if CCS, Willis (*2), Curry (*2) and Earl stay fit. Plenty of good combos there.

@Dodge

Underhill not done and dusted either

can't believe i forgot him, he's the first name in the back row if fit

Vintcent for me

Biarrey will get it.

Incidentally, I watched a vid of Biarrey's 6N tries and I could have scored 6 of the 8.

@MiketheSnow Not bad at your age

Typical of you to ignore Huw Jones effort. Have some decorum man, he has a Welsh name at least.

Best try by far, should absolutely piss in.

Vintcent for me too. Outrageous finish, blitzing a bunch of backs being touted to start for the lions...

Biarey's for me, a couple of outrageous bits of skill, a counter-ruck, some real pace. And his halfback tried to fuck it up.

Wales are a sinking ship and I think it will get a lot worse for them before they improve.

The young French winger was really impressive from the games I've seen.

Mike I reckon you could have scored six, possibly seven, of those tries

Just occurred to me - why isn't the women's 6N played as double headers along with the 6N? Seems like a waste, would it result in more of a loss for stadium fees for the unions than having to pay for the extra logistics?

@Bones I think because double headers don't really work, not for the less popular code. Women's 6n actually does well, relatively

@Bones

There are already enough reasons for me not to go to Twickenham.

Yeah it occurred to me now that the 6N gets sold out at pretty lofty prices anyway, so why bother upping that price for probably very little if any change in profit margin.

Right? Women, eugh.

I'd turn every men's Six Nations Saturday into a Super Saturday and play the Women's on the Sunday, under 21s on a Friday night.

Means the travelling fans can use Sunday to get home and feel fresh for Monday I guess.

@Bones The huge travelling support is definitely the thing that makes the 6 Nations such a unique tournament in global sport.

Last year you were looking at SFA (Italy) up to 25k crowds, so worthwhile for their own match. England France 60k

Going to Wales v England late afternoon

Over 20,000 tickets sold

Record for Wales women
