get that trophy polished up real nice, cause we're gonna win it.

and there's nothing the scots can do about it (manic laughter).

one, two, three.

that's just me counting my chickens.

the most pointless title ever belongs to the boys in green! :P

yep, its just sitting there ripe for the taking :)

and I am sure your boys will win it in style hun :hug:

am hoping to get a look at the rugby but fairly busy all weekend, I may just have to get an update on here :(

whats the triple crown?

It's a trophy between the 4 'home nations', if one team beats the other 3, they win the triple crown, so if Ireland beat Scotland, they'll have beaten Wales, England and Scotland and will have won the triple crown :)

So its part of the 6 nations? Thanks Dav :) i never knew that

Yep :D It's like a little sub-competition :)

yeah, what Dav said! Its like they also have the Calcutta cup during the six nations - a grudge match between Scotland and England each time.

That we won this year :D

But the triple is going to be Irelands.

And after this weekend, the slam is probably going to belong to some lovely sounding french people!

who cares... scotlands not getting the wooden spoon this year... HA HA WALES

:blink:

:ban: :tsk: :tsk:

That would be the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes . . .

Call me crazy but i see Wales having no chance of the spoon, i fancy them to win their last 2 games.

the phrase FFS is thrown about all too often these days. nonetheless i do feel it's appropriate in this instance.

come on ireland, FFS!! :( :(

phew! :)

didnt manage to catch the game, but I gather your 'phew' meant they did it...

well done to your boys :clap:

well done Ireland!

I didn't catch game either :(

Still, may see the England match tomorrow, not holding up too much hope there tbh

:wacko:

well done Italy as well!!

Startling stuff :D

(sorry Steff :hug: )

for the record, ireland won by 1 point thanks to 2 late penalties.

hence the "phew!!" ;)

:blink:

blimey, that sounds a bit close.

poor Wales :( they could have got a draw there.....all went a bit funny for them in the last few minutes (that's my technical rugby term there)

Well done Ireland tho :clap:

HA!

makes up for the France game then...

could someone with more rugby knowledge than I (pretty much everyone on this thread i guess) plese explain what happened at the end of the Wales match??? :unsure:

all hell broke loose.....

is that the techincal term??? :P

here you go hun, looks like Wales thought they had it in the bag and a late Italian push paid dividends

BBC Report

it appears that the ref gave the welsh kicker (i forget his name) duff info on the time left to play so he kicked it to the corner to try and get a try to win the match. but then the time was up so the game was finished. If he had kicked for goal it would have been a tie.

this is what i meant????? seemed awfully unfair on Wales......

or i could have been clever like lexie and given you the bbc link :doh:

yep.

referee's name wasn't Kaplan was it?

Perhaps he thought he was reffing an England game...

:blink:

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :D

roflmao

what no pink ones Ivo?

You disappoint me

roflmao

Jo, Kaplan is a S African ref who shows a particular bias when reffing England games

id get a slap if i put a pinky one to dinky!!! :)

what the heck! :wub: :wub: :wub: roflmao

use pink ones - apparently DEATH likes those....or dislikes them.....i can't remember :blink:

thanks lex - i'm still learning you see...... :blink: i only just learnt the rules of rugby during the first england match of this Six Nations.....

you're welcome hun :hug:

you'll get there jo, it doesnt take long to pick it up!

you still talking about your pink one?

;) im not saying!
