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".

      Travelling to and from the site on a day ticket

      By TheFellaLondon · Posted

      Thanks so much - that's very helpful. Someone else mentioned getting a train from Loughborough to East Midlands Parkway, and then a festival shuttle from there to the site. I think they were then going to come back on the Skylink Derby to Loughborough - I assume this is because the trains don't run as late as the Skylink, otherwise they would just come back the same way they came?! Is the transport hub a long way from the main stage? Just wondering what time I would need to leave Linkin Park to be sure of getting a shuttle. As I say, I am sure it will all be clear on the day, even after a few beers! Just hope the rain stays away...

      Primavera Sound 2026

      I really don't think they would put Olivia Rodrigo on Occident stage. If it was her, they would put her in earlier Mordor slot and move Big Thief or Little Simz to Occident.   Fontaines DC are more probable, but don't really match the hype. However, again, if the hype was real, the artist would end up in Mordor.   That being said, I would love to see Fontaines DC tonight.

      Visiting the site outside the festival

      By phil the shrew · Posted

      After all the good advice on here I had a nice visit to the site earlier in the week.    Walked down from Pilton village to Hitchen Hill and down the footpath to the Wood by Woodies.    Really strange seeing the site empty of 100,000 people. There is far more hedges and woodland on the site than you remember when the festival is on. Can see the stone circle and some structures still up on site. And looks like Worthy View has some camping going on there during the summer too.   Lots was fenced off with electric fencing to help wth the cattle grazing. Is really amazing how they set up the site as its hard enough accessing the area by car and foot nevermind all the kit needed to set the festival up. As others said you can't walk the whole site but nice to see the site again after a few years away   Pilton is also a lovely village with a nice village hall shop and post office attached, and got to speak to some locals who told me a few tales of past festivals down the years. One house for sale there would be lovely to live in - if only I had £2 million going spare
