I wish. Tried to get tickets, but alas I did not have any luck. Despite being a member of London Scottish. I shall have to make do with my local pub and a gathering of 10.

Going to be quite a close affair I feel, but I have a sneaky suspicion that the English might shade this one. It does, as ever, depend on our professionalism and whether we can iron out the indiscipline that has dogged our matches throughout the six nations.

Whatever happens, it is early days in the Johnson era and I feel that we are learning some valuable lessons. Heartening performances (relatively) against the Welsh and Oirish has given me a bit of hope.

My prediction...

England 21 vs 17 France

I'd rather french kiss a skunk than go to a rugby game.

I will watch but expect us to lose again as we end up playing 20 mins of the 80 with only 14 men. Just hope we haven't got another South African ref, the last two have been bordering on bent and have made some very bad decisions that all seem to be to England's detriment.

Keep 15 men on the pitch all game and we've got a decent chance.

Yep I'm going with about a dozen of my team, gonna be a little messy !
Incidently Beachy, why did you feel the need to title it "egg chasing" why couldn't you just have written Rugby ?

Only so the majority of NSC might have a clue what this is about :ohmy:

Scenes to marvel at. Nice to see the hard work is paying off. Shame the French did not turn up, per se, but without taking anything away from England, we did not let them start their engine.

Super stuff. :yahoo:

got offered the chance to buy some tickets through my season ticket at Bath, turned them down, wouldn't pay the exorbatant prices to see that shower at the moment.

Turned out to be a good game, shame only one team turned up though.

Great Game, great atmosphere and great beer, it's just a shame we couldn't play like that in the first 3 games ! It's a learning curve though I suppose.

Chose the right game there Beach hut. I went to the Italy game which was a canter but we did look shocking. Such a shame we couldn't have had a little bit of the talent we showed yesterday for the Wales and Ireland games.

The French don't play like that at home. Still, there's time left for Wales to snatch the title yet.

Superb game made even better as on our table were 6 french bankers who worked in London, they were not amused however did advise the claret was good.

We did laugh when "le ros beef" was served as well.
