I will be shouting for England & quite possibly mumbling along to sweet chariot although I cant quite grasp why a negro slave song would become an anthem to English rugby :confused:

Should be a good game as England Ireland always is :D

Who do you shout for in the hurling????

Don't follow hurling (used to play shinty at school though) but if I did then I suppose I'd probably shout for Donegal (stepfather was from there originally).

Always makes me smile when we sing Flower of Scotland to any other team apart from England. Dreary bloody song, anyway....long overdue for a change.

Still, it's always good to see Princess Anne sing about one of her ancestors getting his arse chased back over the border by a rabble army of Jocks...! (y)

So you can score a goal in rugby union by touching the stupid shaped ball against the padding on the post.

Unbelievable.

Actually it's a try......:rolleyes:
Is it really.....? :aaaaa:

I thought rugby players were supposed to be tough yet they need nice soft padding round the goalposts .....wouldn’t see that in football.

Surely the rugby goal needs to be redesigned along the lines of that used in American football?

I think we should arrange a scratch game of rugby, I'd be happy to play as long as andy is on the opposing team ;):D

Scotland..
Being a Scot.

Great win yesterday, the silly shaped ball bounced in our favour and nobody got a nasty graze on the goal post padding.

Well rugby union payers wear about the same amount of padding and protective gear as gridiron players so it is a reasonable analogy.

:risas3::risas3::risas3: :risas3: I've seen bikers wearing less protective kit than them.
