[Other Sport] NSC 6 Nations 2023 Competition

[Normal Rob]

It's one of those games is it not? I fully expect Ireland to pull away in the last 10. But, but, Italy could just pull off one of the greatest surprises ever. I'm glued to it.

 

[Weststander]

Great team try, recycling the ball with no errors despite the suffocating defence.

Those feisty Italians have given those Irishmen a good testing today how do the qualify their nationalities in rugby?

To qualify for italy you have to have consumed either pasta or coffee in the past 15 years.

Other than being born or grandparents being born on a country, just by being resident for 36 months.

30 years ago I remember the Wallabies playing this game. 15 years later Ireland, Italy and Scotland turned it into an art-form.

So that Varney guy likes mac and cheese with a Starbucks then?

And Aki lives above a Pub in Ireland?

One one hand well done Italy, on the other couldn't you have conceded that Try at the end?

Here is the league table after the Italy 20:34 Ireland match:

@Jeremiah and @Paxton Dazo were the closest with their predictions only one point away.

@Dave Fishwick and @Mr Smggles both received a 25 point penalty for this match.

Wales/England going my way at present - can they stop now?

Enjoying this - so thank you for running it - but I don’t even know what shape a rugby ball m is. So I’ll take mid table!

 

[Weststander]

Farrell’s repeated misses keeping Wales in it.

 

[Weststander]

Deserved, the superior team from the first minute.

Did we ever perform like this in Cardiff under Eddie Jones?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Wales simply awful, the 10 point defeat massively flatters them. 7 points from an interception, Farrell missed 10 points off the tee, it could and should have been a 20+ point win. Yet none of this is a surprise.

Here is the league table after the Wales 10:20 England match:

Congratulations to @NEASTGULL and @papajaff who got their predictions right.

@Dave Fishwick received a further 25 point penalty for this match.

England performed far better than this in Cardiff under Eddie Jones.

The difference is, this Wales team are awful.

Only 200 professional players to pick from is coming home to roost.

The wooden spoon awaits.

They’ve won multiple grand slams in the last few years. By focusing on elite players as Ireland and Scotland do?

Looks like, they talk about this on Scrum V every week, they kept dishing out caps to 80+ cap stalwarts, not blooding youth.

 

[Icy Gull]

I fear THPP will find himself dropping from 1st place tomorrow due to his Scottish bias

But he has got there with his predictions so far, so what do I know

 

[Worried Man Blues]

I am storming up the table in another 20 games I'll be close to the top............

 

[Dave Fishwick]

Completely missed this

tomorrow - Scotland by 5

 

[Normal Rob]

If anyone has France absolutely thumping Scotland they may well be smiling in a little over an hour...

Edit - though the French prop has just done well to even things up.
