Re: The Rugby Thread
Pharvey must be really wrapped up in his new UK position. Unusual for him not to start a pool for the yearly big matches.

Re: The Rugby Thread
Apologies guys - on an installation job in Spain and embarrassingly enough managed to get the dates of the games @rse about t*trichard wrote:No forum pool for the 6 nations Mr. Harvey?

Thanks to Pete for coming to the rescue and organising the HHAD Pool



I'm in subject to Captain's approval, as are a couple of the other usual suspects who I've invited to join again this year...
Well, as for Round 1..... God's Own looked pretty dire at times, especially in the 2nd half, though not taking anything away from the Pasta Munchers who could easily cause an upset or 2 again this season. The Emerald Isle look good and pretty much demolished the Sweaties in the 2nd half........ and as for Beelzibub's XV, so near, but yet so far as the Garlic Chomping Surrender Monkeys steal it at the death.
Bring on the Paddies!!!!

Re: The Rugby Thread
All in, up to 7 now. You provide the color commentary and other bits as usual Pharvey, thanks.

EDIT: Note...Dai L. came to the table with 4.5 points already from another pool he's playing. For our head to head competition remember to deduct that as we go along given that we're starting from round 2.

Welcome back PH
We'd have missed your colourful unbiased
analyses of the games. As an adopted sheep-shagger I really think Wales are in for a well deserved grand slam this time round

Re: The Rugby Thread
Don't believe a word of it - Dai's bribery skills are legendary...... he'll probably be 15 points clear after this weekend!!prcscct wrote:Note...Dai L. came to the table with 4.5 points already from another pool he's playing.
Anywho, the time is almost upon us, and another weekend of 6 Nations rugby......






And what's it to be for Saturday's matches? An unlikely Calcutta Cup victory for the Sweaties, or Beelzibub to get his "chariot" back on track...... Will "Maggotsfield" play a part??
And the pick of the day at the Aviva Stadium, with both teams vying to stay on course for Grand Slam glory....
Oi!! Paddies...... You're Next!!!
Best of luck to all (with the exception of Beelzibub and the Paddies.....

Re: The Rugby Thread
B*LL*CKS !!!
Dear God, what a woeful, inept and clueless display by Wales ...... it couldn't possibly have been any worse. We couldn't control the ball on the rare occasions we had it, knocking on time and time again, turning the ball over to Ireland on countless occasions. The amount of penalties given away was nothing less than criminal at any level
As for Priestland at Fly Half and the non-existent Welsh lineout .......
Ireland on the other hand played some wonderful rugby and really do look good for the Championship, if not the Grand Slam - Twickenham in a fortnight's time could be a cracker. Ireland were in total control of every aspect of the game today - the rolling maul was a sight to see, but especially impressive was their discipline and it wasn't until the 55th minute that they gave away a "kickable" penalty.......... Wales' only points of the game
Fair play to the Paddies - absolutely no question as to who were the far superior team and deserved winners.

How has Dai_L got 5.5 points after only 1 game in which he scored 1 point?

Points 46; Position 23 RELEGATED

Well, after God's Own and the Almighty himself seemingly missed the ferry across the Irish Sea, and the Sweaties capitulated against Beelzebub and his minions, only the Azzurri can save my weekend ........

Here's to a shock result if ever it was needed - Pasta Munchers by 3 over the Surrender Monkeys!!
