Ireland won't just bow down. And England haven't looked capable of taking on France. But damn do I want to see next Saturday already!

 

Ooh, a conundrum here: are England disrespecting Italy or not? 9 is a masive amount suggesting England got it wrong for 3 rounds essentially. But England also have a habit of resting plenty for this fixture. But we just had a rest week

Either way, I hope Italy give a good game. I-tal-ia!

Great finish to the first half. Prop dash so good to see! And Wales are still in it surprisingly. But Ireland looking on top in most areas for me

Will add more later. Friday night kick off has caught me short! Reactions, predictions, and shitposts all appreciated

Edit: more!

Friday night we saw Wales put up a physical and skilled affair vs Ireland, but fall short still. Their hunt goes on, the wooden spoon battle next week sure to now be a doozy. But today we see Scotland take on France, two of the best broken field playing teams in the world in a great weather Edinburgh battling for the championship - cannot wait! Then this evening we get Italy vs England. And this is a definite banana skin for England with an ascendant Italy genuinely having a shot at a misfiring English side with widescale changes. Expect drama. Expect tries. Expect cards, handbags, and ropey TMO calls!

All part of the majesty that is the greatest championship in the world: Six Nations round 4

 

A day to go til 6n is back, and here's a good preview of the Scotland v Franve match. Cannot wait! Gonna do my kicktipp now

 

Strange for me, but we'll get used to it I'm sure. Wales alt should yellow though, more yellow needed

 

Big article for the rugby community here on a Monday. Moody was an animal around the pitch, let's see him doing all he can for MND too

Wow. This is huge, and puts doubt on ever walking on the moon again. The original plan was obviously nuts with its weird orbits and mad refueling profile, but it was a plan at least! II was due to send astronauts the furthest into space EVER about now also. What is III to accomplish? When could IV fly, and will lunar descent then occur?

Well, I know what's going in my reading pile next then

 

The next two weeks would be a good time for the England players to do similar for their head coach.

Won't someone please think of the coaches! Italy vs England to be spicy next weekend

Labour have so little positive to say you can see why he is saying this crap. Will they even publish a manifesto for Holyrood? Pretty sure nobody else has yet, and the Tory one is likely to be a pamphlet, with Reform's being a sheet of single ply loo roll

 

Big wiff of LLMs with the wordiness of this article imo. But, a good surmise of where Audi and Cadillac are so far on their F1 journey

May is going to be a very bad time for Starmer. Cannot see him surviving this. Headlines of 'Bleeding red across the land' and 'Green shoots of revolutions' to become common. A strong possibility of 5th in Holyrood.

 

Just watched Marooned as a tribute to him. For the brits: it is all on the iplayer and Rob was involved til season 6

Italy have been ineffective sadly. France have taken loads of their chances indeed. Can they finish the tournament a week early next week?

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I am exhausted after that. What a match! 23-26 and Scottish bench is what won it

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Battle of the coaches come half time I suspect now. Wales look set to win the first half at least

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wales looking well up for this @tamps@feddit.uk - hopefully Scotland can keep it within seven at the break! Scotland are not winning any collisions

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

A good 30 minutes somewhere, not just a good 10

 

Who's read the original novels? This could be lots of fun

 

First weekend with no rest week, squad depth to be tested, injuries rates on the lower ranked to be keenly felt this weekend.

England vs Ireland first up, both on a win and a loss and both needing this to keep their championship hopes alive! Dublin will be buzzing, with Irish expectations that England are now vulberable, but for anyone who watched Squidge this week: England are far from it!

Then Wales vs Scotland for the Saturday evening match. And the smart money is on Scotland here, but Wales will have watched that Scotland v Italy match and will he targetting this match now. Wales haven't had a 6n win in years now, it has to happen at some stage, and Scotland's record in Cardiff is abysmal. Banana skin for Scotland for sure

Then we have France vs Italy and this should see France rotating and Italy looking to minimise championship points imo. Would be a high scoring affair I suspect, with both teams getting it wide and putting those backs in plenty, but the weather says otherwise! Bucketing it down in Paris, and how did Italy do in similar conditions 2 weeks ago? A close affair here, let's see if Italy can defy the pundits?

As always, pics, reactions, predictions all appreciated. And do your kicktipp!
