What odds was it?
England doing you a favour by getting the cigars and deckchairs out, job done.
England to win margin of 36-40 points. I put just 3 quid at 25-1.
Fair play, I didn't think we'd be that convincing.
And now it's time for BBR to get the cigars out .
Well done B, had a little bet myself, we won't talk about how that went!
England v Wales in a fortnight. Eddie Jones saying " we're up against the best Welsh team of all time. " Obviously he's whipping it up, but I fancy us beating them comfortably as well. Trip to the bookies again !
Bet you were bricking it when we went for the corner instead of taking the points.
Love Eddie. Says what he feels, he loves winding up the opposition. When the presenter told him that Wales were getting cocky etc, he built them up even more. Can't wait to see us beat them. Kevin Keegan all over again !
He’s also mocking Gatland for saying the gap between England and Wales was ‘massive’ last season.
Wales are doing well, so credit to them and this game will be a difficult one. Can this see one panning out in a similar fashion to 2017. Hopefully we put them in back in their place with a dominating performance.
Going to be cracker. If I have a bet I'm going for an England win by between 15-20 points.
France v Scotland - France by 4
Wales v England -England by 17
Italy v Ireland - Ireland by 22
Wales v England -England by 17
Italy v Ireland - Ireland by 22
I've had a bet on England to win by 26-30 got it at 20-1 only put £2.00 on. Return if a win £42.00
Taffies steal it at the end to the delight of the commentators. Really wish these cunts would get binned off when Wales are on, the arrogance and bias are insufferable
England kicked it away today, too many box kicks straight into Welsh hands!
Wasn’t working in the first half yet carried on all game.
No complaints on the result, officials were poor missing the forward pass in the build up to the break for the first Welsh try.

When we’re given Wales and Ireland away it’s nearly impossible to win the tournament. Need a favour from the Paddies
Agree entirely with that. Jonathan Davies had no understanding of the word 'neutral'.
First off it’s 2-1 to them on the commentators then they spend the entire game basically as fans. Yes they were less crap than us having trailed for 65 minutes but I’d rather have a Scotsman than those arseholes
The "commentators"ruined it for me. And as Brian Moore is a solicitor he's obsessed with the law and rules etc. They were like old women gossiping instead of being neutral presenters. My late father used to turn the volume off and just watched sport in silence, he hated all"experts" and I now understand this !
Is that Jonathan Davies still a pundit with his emphasised Welsh accent?
He was commentating with the other Taffy prick who always does Wales games. For all the talk of English arrogance I have to say the Celtic nations are far worse for it
Can't really disagree with that. Our kicking game was so successful against Ireland and France because they had a makeshift back 3. Wales have probably the best full back in the competition in Liam Williams. With big runners like Tuilagi and Vunipola, we needed to run more instead of kicking on phase one as often as we did. Frankly, we bottled it.
England to beat the Jocks tomorrow by 20 points. Going to put a few quid on that bet. Not sure on the odds, but it's the five point margin.
late drama in Cardiff will swing it in Englands favour before we choke against the scots and finally get the winning score in the last moments via drop goal.
Interesting concept- my tv lets me have subtitles on if I am hard of hearing, & audio description for blind/partially sighted. The technology is definitely there to allow filtering the (what I consider) tedious clap-trap of commentators out without losing the sound of the crowd...so savouring the atmosphere more.
In every sport, too many commentators think it is all about them. I think I read once that Kenneth Wolsthenholme (1966 & all that) said his job was to mostly supplement what the TV viewer can see...with what they cannot. I get sick of them stealing my interpretation of what I can see & think about myself..."Sterling goes down...but was it in the box. The referee took a long hard look, what will he give?' Ffs!'

I used to think my dad was losing the plot, but now if he was alive I'd go round and sit and watch today's rugby match with a few beers with him, with the sound turned down, and we'd make our own commentary to the action !
My grandfather was like that with the cricket. He'd have TV on, no sound and use the radio commentary
As I understand it, Wales can beat Ireland, but England can still win the tournament if we get the bonus point v Scotland?
Would be mad for Wales to get the grand slam, but not win the tournament.
Ireland are still in with a shot though, so they could win v Wales.

No wales beat Ireland they win it no matter the England result, for winning the grand slam you get an extra 3 points
