Ah ...

[SerjeantWildgoose]

... there’s grand, now.

[BBD]

I think its telling how muted the celebrations have been

eyes on the prize for next week

Those Presbyterians again.

well all the left footers have given up the Grand Slam for Lent

[SerjeantWildgoose]

I gave up grand slams for lent the last 7 years and frankly life just didn't get any rosier. This year I have given up on Irish Language Acts and it seems to be working out much better.

[SerjeantWildgoose]

I have just been reading the match reports in the London Times and am quite frankly deflated after Ireland's dismal performance yesterday. How we would have the temerity to win a game on the back of the scraps allowed us by the utterly dominant Scots is beyond comprehension.

Nevertheless, looking at the table and the remaining fixtures there is so much to play for next weekend. If, as expected, Wales come away from Rome with 5 match points today, then a Scotland win in Rome next weekend, a Welsh win in Cardiff and another fraudulent Irish win against patently dominant and more deserving opposition will see the Pro14 sitting 1-2-3 on the table.

Just saying, like.

We wuz robbed.

You got the moral victory

[SerjeantWildgoose]

I once had an immoral victory. Shagged a fat lass and she told her pal I had kept going half the night (Combination of Guinness and finding little remotely climactic about the whole sordid performance). Two weeks later her pal, far prettier it must be said, came looking for a bit of the same.

A much briefer encounter it has to be said. Needless to say, the myth of my bedroom stamina came to a somewhat premature end!

[Buggaluggs]

I was drunk and my pal has lost a lot of weight since then.

[Buggaluggs]

And you were rubbish

[SerjeantWildgoose]

As Mrs WIldgoose’s solicitor has taken great pains to remind the courts.

The biggest celebration should be POC's contribution to the world of rugby pundits.
Finally,......someone who actually understands what they're talking about.

Jonno , Gusset and Invertwat genuinely looked scared when listening to his analysis. English rugby, my arse.

[Banquo]

Ah.....the element of surprise

[BBD]

our chief weapon is surprise...and fear, our two chief weapons are fear AND surprise, and a box kick

amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as Fear, Surprise, a box kick and an almost fanatical devotion to Paul O'Connell...

Ill come in again

Wibble

[Eugene Wrayburn]

This GS was very different from 2009 for me. 2009 we were the best of a pretty shitty bunch. This time we controlled all but about 20 minutes in total of our matches and were mainly excellent. Something that was really striking watching the game live at Twickenham (yeah that's right) was how it we realigned every phase compared to the English and how much better our ball presentation was. Little things but really significant to the shape of the game and the ability to do anything useful.

Just wait until Tripod retires and becomes a pundit.
English 9's from Glaws to Leicester are sitting at home filling their pants and terrified of when Strings starts commentating.

He’s a giant of the game, extremely knowledgable and is still able to deliver a pass from deck to navel faster than Eddie Jones disowns a defeat

England have never replaced Matt Dawson, it’s been a series of green cross code scrum halves too slow and ponderous to cause genuine consternation in an opposition defence, they been saved by intense hard work around the back row and a few genuinely talented athletes in the backs

[kk67]

I liked Pete Richards and Simpson.
England preferred the knee muncher.
