*Rugby, not Rubgy you tool.

[Weapon of Choice]

Ireland for me. Don't expect much, just hope they beat England and Wales.

[Cropolite]

Ireland. Probably can't afford a loss.

C'MON IRELAND!!!


The game at Croker tomorrow should be a cracker.

Hopefully.

[Kanbei]

Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland.
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

[DrPepperMan]

Looking forward to this. Fingers crossed this time round.

Come the day and come the hour

Ireland, Ireland.
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

Awful song.

At least it's actually possible to sing this song, haven't a clue how to sing the proper national anthem

[chalkitdown]

You don't need to. As long as you know the first and last lines(everyone does) you're set. Just mumble the rest.

When I went to Croke Park to see the Ireland/Germany football game, they put the words up on the screen. Still hadn't a clue what to do!

I can only say the first and last three words.

[chalkitdown]

I only know the first and last lines. I've no idea how they're spelled or what they mean but I know how to pronounce them.

Cymru

Got my ticket for the last game against Ireland oh yes

Fri 27th Feb 09 21:00 France v Wales Stade de France

Why is this game on a Friday? That's a little strange. Also, anyone know it'll be on BBC HD?

[Cropolite]

Interesting when you look at this decade alone according to Wiki;

1. France 66 pts
2. Ireland 62 pts
3. England 60 pts

Yet we haven't won a thing.

[chalkitdown]

Too many 2nds.

Some of the matches will be on BBC HD, the England match is tomorrow and Scotland on Sunday. The Irish match won't be (probably because it's RTE's pictures)

Blates. Grand Slam again!

[Curls]

I don't know much about the teams, but always love to watch the Six nations. I'll be routing for Cymru but good luck to everyone, well everyone but the French. It would be nice to see a Grand Slam again, but lets not get greedy now. As long as we see some good matches i'll be more than happy.

[JV]

Frankly, I am so pissed off with the way England have gone about things in recent years, I might just root for Wales or take a neutral standpoint and try to enjoy the matches. I know England can turn the corner, but I think it's going to take quite a bit of time and patience yet.
