Ceinwenn Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 I saw! #10 for Italy really should have made the tackle, though! Now, that's 8 points that Goode has given away with missing the kicks for 2 penalties & the 2 extra points for that last try. Rest easy, though, Ben, England will win this match! Quote
Inver Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) May the best team win today......(and hopefully it will be Scotland) I loved going to Murrayfield to watch Scotland v Wales.....fantastic atmosphere. Off to look out my scarf and hat......Oh Flower of Scotland......when will we see yer likes again.....tra la la la la la........etc. Edited February 8, 2009 by Inver Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 Enjoy Inver! OH & I did briefly contemplate the overnight train when we discovered yesterday that there were still over 1000 tickets left for today's game! Quote
Inver Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 We were so unlucky....if somebody could just have shoved Chris Paterson over the blooming line... Heavens and what about the guys knocking themselves out!! Quote
Inver Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Well done Wales......well played....offers hand shake reluctantly Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 Accepts handshake willingly! Scotland didn't do so badly! Quote
rwemad Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Well done Wales......well played....offers hand shake reluctantly Hey......... we flew up for the match and had an absolutely fab time. Edinburgh was lovely, the people were warm and friendly and the atmosphere before, during and after was wonderful. Thank you for a great weekend Scotland I love the Wales/Scotland game no matter who wins. It was great to see Wales beat England though. Having said that, I honestly think England are much more entertaining now than when they were playing in their world cup year. I know winning gets the cup and the trophy etc but people don't pay all that money just to see JW kicking and the rest of them holding and shoving. England are now playing some fantastic rugby. Not as good as Wales obviously but the game was fun and exciting to watch. Well worth the money. 2 down......... COME ON WALES!!!!! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Are you Welsh, then, rwemad? My OH is quietly hoping for a repeat Grand Slam! Quote
rwemad Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Are you Welsh, then, rwemad? My OH is quietly hoping for a repeat Grand Slam! Yep........ born and bred but not the lingo. I am desperate to learn though. I want to be able to read books in Welsh........ proper books not the cat sat on the mat stuff. My OH is a Scot so that is why we always enjoy the Scot/Wales game so much. He was born in Edinburgh, so it was a trip 'home'. Having lived in Wales with me for so long he is an honourary Welshman and will shout for Wales as loudly as me. Didn't you hear us Saturday? Wouldn't another GS be just great? Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 It would be great! I have to admit I don't enjoy the matches as much as I could do. I find them too tense, too stressful as my OH gets sooooooooooooooooooo caught up in them. He's all screaming "come on" & shouting at the ref if he disagrees with a call & if Wales lose.......................well, he doesn't take it too badly, but he has been known to sulk! Bless! So, I watch, but it's kinda like the horror movie watch - between my fingers which are covering my eyes kind of thing! We have yet to make it to a 6 Nations game, but we go to the Autumn internationals every year, whether we can get tickets or not! Quote

I am thinking I will be watching the Irish game from behind the setee... .... with a stiff drink for company. It's nice to have gotten England out the way though... nobody else matters quite so much.

A couple of times we have travelled to Cardiff to see the games - in the pub. There & back from Eastern England in a day, lol! 4.5 hours each way on the train, to stand in a pub & watch a rugby game!

rwemad Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 come on Wales!!!!!! Ceinwenn...... are you in a Parisian pub???? Quote
Inver Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 What is with the playing on a Friday evening?? Go for it Wales. Quote
rwemad Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 What is with the playing on a Friday evening?? I have no clue whatsoever. but go Wales indeed:mrgreen: Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 come on Wales!!!!!! Ceinwenn...... are you in a Parisian pub???? Don't I wish! Oh how I would love that - wouldn't mind the rugby, even (not that I really do, mind!) What is with the playing on a Friday evening?? Go for it Wales. According to my OH, it's because the 6 Nations people haven't got a clue! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Come on Wales...you are getting beat!! That's why I said this: Oh oh! Quote
Inver Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Go on miss.....drat...pants.... Hoorah...Wales pull one back OMG how did they not score....so unlucky. Edited February 27, 2009 by Inver Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 I think that there will be a few tears shed in my house tonight..................pass the beer! Quote
rwemad Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Oh dear.... never mind. It was really exciting to watch......... shame the Welsh left it late (again) to start to really fight back. Good day though, I really enjoyed it. The French/Welsh matches are always nailbitingly fun to watch and there was some fantastic running rugby. It would have been better had we won but....Well done both sides. And of course let's not forget, there is nothing like an evening watching lots of fit guys running around in shorts to brighten a girl's day. Come on Scotland and Ireland......... I'll be cheering you on today. Quote
Ben Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Ohh, I know a few people were cheering for Wales, commiserations. Quote
