Yes I only caught the second half, Wales gave them a smash but the Scots came back at them........ can someone get them to do that from the opening whistle please.

So Wales and Ireland look as good as England these days, are the days of England and France being the dominant dudes up north gone?

Also: I must go to a game at Millennium Stadium once in my life...... preferably Wales vs Ireland in the deciding six nations match or a world cup.

Two weeks and it is England v Wales, both fighting for the Triple Crown!

by **Rus-Evo** on Mon Feb 13, 2012 3:08 pm

What is the triple crown?

by **RaySinKa** on Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:58 pm

As part of the Six Nations competition there are two minor/major sub events.

The Triple Crown is when a country from Wales, England, Scotland and Ireland beats all of the other "Home" nations.

As of this weekend Wales has beaten Scotland and Ireland. England has beaten Scotland and Ireland.

So when Wales play England, one must run out the Triple Crown winner.

A Grand Slam is to win all of your five matches.

There are many stats of who has achieved what that can be found on;

Triple Crown

Whats constant about it? I always like to go for the underdog. Wales are a RUGBY nation...... which England is NOT.

by **lightmas** on Sun Mar 04, 2012 10:42 pm

Wales lead the 6 nations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I go for some of the English drivers and also their soccer team (who are underdogs).

Big 3 all into the quarters in Indian Wells. Federer showed some sign of suffering from virus but survived to beat Bellucci in 3 sets. I hope he recovers fully for the next match, which could be against Del Potro. Nadal looks good for the semis and we can have another Federer v Nadal semifinal match.

by **PURIST** on Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:05 pm

Federer v Nadal tomorrow morning. Then Aussie GP in the afternoon. Good weekend for sport fans!

Fast and Furious is the name of the game in Cardiff, I think there will be some tired bodies at half time.

Now;

Wales 10 : 3 France

One try and penalty to one penalty.

by **Rus-Evo** on Sat Mar 17, 2012 5:56 pm

France looking dangerous
