Title: Calcutta cup Post by: Ironside on February 25, 2018, 01:23:12 AM Your team took a he'll of a beating
I might have sobered up this time next year when obviously we get beat by 30+ points but who cares cause we are the champions Title: Re: Calcutta cup Post by: kukushkin88 on February 25, 2018, 01:46:30 AM Your team took a he'll of a beating I might have sobered up this time next year when obviously we get beat by 30+ points but who cares cause we are the champions I was so pleased, it must be the greatest anomaly in all of sport, that team going 25/26, hopefully they'll be bashed by Ireland and France and lots of times in NZ. Farrell is so good at rugby, he really should give the Billy big Bollocks act a rest, he isn't good at that. Lots of love for Itoje and Jones, almost everyone else in the England set up seems like a prick.

Well played regardless. Title: Re: Calcutta cup Post by: Woodsey on February 25, 2018, 08:35:47 AM Well done on the win, I hope it’s not another 10 years before you win again.....
Title: Re: Calcutta cup Post by: TightEnd on February 25, 2018, 08:51:47 AM England's back row were marmalised at the breakdown. not a huge surprise i suppose with a 5 at 6 and 6 at 7 and Hughes at 8 (bullocking runner but no breakdown skills).
I thought Scotland might be overpowered but fair play, their tight five held up well England were able to paper over the lack of a genuine 7 for a long time,but it came home to roost yesteray Title: Re: Calcutta cup Post by: Ironside on February 25, 2018, 10:13:33 AM I am no fan of the England rugby union team, but you aren't the champions, you are third. there are only 2 teams in the Calcutta cup so it's hard to be 3rd though most years it looks like we areWell played regardless.

I accept Scotland won the Calcutta Cup, but that makes you winners, but not champions? Serious question, can a team be champions of a one match competition? Nobody refers to the winners of the Charity Shield as the champions. When Australia won the Ashes, nobody decleared the champions of the Ashes and they won 4 games and drew the other. As I say no fan of England Rugby Union team, so quite enjoyed yesterday. Title: Re: Calcutta cup Post by: Ironside on February 25, 2018, 10:37:14 AM You win Ryder cup your the champions
Title: Re: Calcutta cup Post by: TightEnd on February 25, 2018, 10:44:26 AM You win Ryder cup your the champions but thats a two team event, this is a six team tournament put correctly, you won a cup, not a championship I love watching Scotland play anyway, proper flair.

I am not saying we are winners of 6 nation just the champions of the Calcutta cup(for this season) just because it's a small part of a larger event does mean we are not champions of the smaller event http://www.dictionary.com/browse/champion? Title: Re: Calcutta cup Post by: nirvana on February 25, 2018, 02:03:44 PM Not remotely a hardcore Rugby fan but I've always been Scottish as far as Rugby's concerned - great performance yesterday, made England look one dimensional
Flower of Scotland beforehand was awesome, happy fans to look at all match - great spectacle Title: Re: Calcutta cup Post by: Marky147 on February 25, 2018, 03:14:36 PM LOL thread :D
Was good to watch yesterday. Scotland were very exciting. Title: Re: Calcutta cup Post by: Woodsey on March 01, 2018, 12:02:23 PM http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/43235314
Happened to me too the last time I went to Murrayfield and we lost, can’t say I’m that inclined to return.....
