So what are thoughts on next yrs 6 nations winners based on this weekends outings? Unfortunately didn't get to watch all games - annoying different channel rights! England was a pretty dull game but a few good moments from them I thought, but lot of work needed. Ireland were entertaining to watch, maybe a bad South Africa team but Ireland seemed quite fluid. Apparently France made a decent effort at a comeback in 2nd half but didn't watch to see how they played overall.

Agree on both counts. Rugby was the winner today.

As a Welshman it pains me but I must congratulate England. We were horrendous for 70 minutes of that game on the weekend but that's due to England not letting us play. The final score flatters us and

Your team may be shite, but they are very very good at winning. I'd love to see us trying Italian tactics, just at the first ruck, just for sheer comedy value.

So, you all ignored Scotland last week. Stunning performance from them today. Should have beaten the all blacks. We are surely favourites for the 6 nations now. 

And we are great to watch.

What's not to love?

Aye- was a great performance. We were unlucky not to go in at half time with a lead.  Unfortunately I didn't see the 2nd half but will try to get it on catch up.

so, with the autumn internationals done...

Scotland: 16 tries

England: 13 tries

Ireland: 10 tries

France: 6 tries

Wales: 5 tries

Italy : 1 try

Would be nice to see similar numbers in the 6  nations!

Scotland have the talent there's no doubt. I still have question marks over their belief and strength in depth over the course of a tough 6 nations campaign. 

The England game at Murrayfield will be extremely exciting if by then Scotland have defeated Wales in Cardiff and knocked over the French. 

Am going to Rome to see England's opener - can't wait.

Scotland’s strength in depth has already shown them up badly, that’s got to hurt Townsend. 

Yes- was a depressing performance.  So many mistakes it was gutting.

Well done Ireland. Not sure many predicted they would win the championship before they played England.

Much as the Scotland result was disappointing, at least we tried & played some glorious rugby.

England were woeful. Needing a bonus point win they kick for goal with their first 3 penalties! 

Sorry, I just don't get it. First one maybe, get some points on the board - settle the nerves. But the next two...sorry, it either shows lack of ambition or massive (& totally misplaced) arrogance.

England 5/1 to finish runner up in the group. Aren't they really good odds, or am I missing something?

I would say it’s a game England would win more than once in six games - so therefore the bet is good value. 

That being said, it’s not a bet I would be making.

They could finish in any position except 1st or 6th.

what a scummy little shit Eddie Jones is...

 At a sponsors' talk in July 2017, the Australian described Wales as a "shit little place" and spoke about how disappointed he was by a recent defeat by the "scummy Irish".

      Sziget 2026

      By CCester · Posted

      They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.

      Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.

      I wonder if they had that vote again they'd vote differently, seeing how successful other mayors like Burnham have been?

      Doesn't surprise me. West Yorkshire had a vote if they wanted a mayor in 2012 and voted no. The government then ignored the vote and announced the position anyway in 2016.
