Well that was a wasted afternoon!
After the 1st weekend I thought we were going to be in for a cracking 6 Nations, how wrong was I.
Two awful games on show today, OK the weather didn't help in Dublin but still the skill levels were poor form all teams, and the Refereeing was interesting at time.
I could have done so much more this afternoon, like do the weekly shop or put up some shelves up at home, the allotment is in right state at the moment too.

Same could be said for every game except for the Italy France game (which I thouroughly enjoyed)
This year has been a poor tournament for entertainment, and gets worse when watching Super rugby on saturday mornings and seeing comparisons!

Pretty sure it was the refs' fault

Re: Well that was a wasted afternoon!
The second game was pretty compelling, lowish skill levels or not. The first was just rancid, a symphony of whistle played in a minor key, and on one side at least, entirely without creativity or ambition. It's not as though the players weren't capable of better, either. Hard to imagine a less inspiring eighty minutes will be played anywhere in the world before the end of 2013.

We had decent weather for the first weekend and we had two good games but since then the weather has been crap reflecting the play in every game. Every stadium at international level should have a roof and play under it if the weather is poor as we are selling the supporters short or we play in the summer.

Bring on the plastic pitches too.
The Sarries one looks good.

Re: Well that was a wasted afternoon!
An afternoon of rugby is never a waste of time. We've had 2 crazy games today neither of which would win awards for entertainment but that's the way it goes. Anyone who's played the game or knows it will have got something from it.
Re: Well that was a wasted afternoon!
You're missing the point. 6N rugby is always of the slow, attritional, in-your-face type. More about winning, in the rain, on mud-patch pitches. We save our best running rugby for the ABs (well England do anyway )
