afca32 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 If I saw two backs in the lineout I'd instantly think "they're doing something different here". Not sure I'd react in time to what happened though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 As much as I hate Inverdale, Guscott and Davies, the ITV coverage is utterly amateur compared to the BBC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I wish ITV would tell us who the Welsh captain is a few more times, they've hardly mentioned it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) I realise there are bonus points to be won, but going for the try rather than the easy 3 points to get the scoreboard ticking at that stage in the game then ending up with bugger all is piss poor game management. Hopefully it comes back to haunt them. Edited February 5, 2017 by Dunning1874 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it comes back to haunt them. Having said that seeing Italy take the second scrum and then maul Wales to the line as opposed to taking an easy 3 points is refreshing to see 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've beaten us by at least 20pts a couple of times recently?

Guscott would be a great pundit if he didn't come across so smarmy. Brian Moore is head and shoulders (metaphorically, of course) above most, if not all, BBC pundits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite like listening to Peter Wright on the way home from games, I'd got a shh yesterday from my Mrs for a get it up ye to the Irish fans who were up celebrating a try before they'd scored it after Russell's misplaced kick in the second half, and what were the first words we heard from Mr Wright after we put the radio on? Felt like I was totally justified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Sergio Parisse being terrific as ever. Also, Matt Dawson is the best man on the BBC. I heard Dawson on 5 live yesterday morning predict Scotland, England, and Italy. The others laughed at him but he stood by it. What would the odds have been for that treble? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
