Those 6N's Rivalries
Just curious to see peoples thoughts on this. A lot is made of the whole England v Wales thing, but is that competitive spirit/dislike actually still as strong as it used to be?
For me I'd say the competitive side is as strong as ever. I have nothing against the Welsh, but they are definitely the fans that give out the most banter (digs) and they're the team that's probably caused England the most pain recently. They're also some of the best fans to chat rugby with in person, and from the times when I've randomly ended up watching games alongside them, can take criticism, a loss and a bit of mocking very well (as well as give it out). But they are definitely the team I dread losing to!
On the pitch I feel there are a few scores to settle as well namely that drubbing in Cardiff, and then the RWC loss (shudders). I hope who ever plays for England remembers those two defeats and uses that pain to make them come out with passion and play right on the edge. The 6n's is all about these historic games, where there is so much back story to every meeting, and this years England v Wales should be particularly spicy.
What other big rivalries are there in the 6N's now?
Feel free to let this become the wumming thread too...

As wonderful as it is to beat England let's be honest it is not a rare thing. History shows that we are pretty even.
Wales v Ireland is a far more exciting game for the past 15 or so years.

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
I'd agree with that, from a playing perspective beating Ireland probably shows better form. Beating Wales just feels better.

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
I have never really enjoyed Wales and Ireland matches, I think all those dire games in the 90's have left scars on most Welsh people. Neither side was capable of stringing two passes together if you happened to be the home team. the 1993 loss to Ireland is still the worst game of rugby I have ever seen. If you watched Neil Jenkins in that game you'd be amazed he got another cap for Wales.

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
Is it being 'arrogant' to suggest that all home nations biggest game, if not the team that they most like to beat is England?
From my perspective it would be beating the most in form team & this year you could make a case for every side bar Italy.

We'll all the other Home Nations certainly up their games a few levels when playing England.

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
Well the hardest team to beat for us, historically, is France. Even now I feel much more confident and comfortable if we're up against England or Wales than I do when we play France- despite the fact the French haven't been as good as either England or Wales for quite a few years.
So beating France is always the most satisfying result, despite other teams being better than they currently are.

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
Beating England is the most statisfying thing for the average French rugby supporter but to be honest I would swap one or two of those victories against England for one against Wales which we haven't beaten since 2011.

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
I enjoy Wales games against England, Ireland and France. Games against Scotland and Italy always seem to be a given, and I don't see that changing this year. I think I also enjoy the matches against the former 3 because they absolutely hate the Welsh and always raise their game a few notches just to be able to compete with us. It's beautiful.

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
A Calcutta Cup game is always a special event for me. I've lived close to half my life in England surrounded by English rugby fans and married an English chick so I've always enjoyed the banter of those games (at least until kick-off, although thankfully we had three victories in the 2000s whilst I was still down south).
The only other significant and new rivallry is the annual Wooden Spoon contest with Italy

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
I love the 6N, always have, always will. I remember thirty years ago, my father would take me to watch Wales, as I grew older, I was then on the trips away. My first ever trip was out in Ireland in about 1994-95 when Neil Jenkins scored all our points and we won, I was only about 17-18 and had the time of my life.
For me though, the rivalries have been cyclical. When I was a kid in the eighties it was always about beating France, but I kind of thought that for the English it was about beating Wales. Through the 90's we always had a good ding dong with the Scotts, I remember us never getting a win at Murrayfield for love nor money. In the 00's it had to be Italy with us being just as crap as them, although we did improve from about 2003 onwards and started giving England a run for their money.
Now though for me at this time and decade, our biggest rivals in the 6N has to be Ireland, since the Celtic league was formed, and since Gatland has been in charge, the rivalry between the two nations has been quietly simmering getting more tense every year, last year for me it was at boiling point.
So for me, for the moment, Wale's biggest rivals in the 6N are Ireland.

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
'Le Crunch' with France will always be the big one for me, regardless of the form of either side leading up to it. There's something pretty special about the Anglo-French rivalry.
The tournament itself needs a serious shake-up soon though. I think the crazy final weekend of last year's competition makes us forget there's usually a high number of turgid games played in Feb/March mudbaths. Hopefully the work done on the Scottish and Welsh pitches will improve this somewhat.

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
The whole Wales v England thing is, for me, a hangover from the difficulty in beating them in the 80's, 90's and early 2000s. Growing up and getting into rugby and rugby support smack bang in the middle of that has developed in me an ingrained belief that England is the 'big one', just because it seemed impossible on so many occasions. I believe there are a generation like me who feel the same. Like I say though, it's more a back handed compliment for actually how difficult it was to beat them. It's not hatred. saying that, there's probably a generation before me that feels some sort of political angst towards England and the English government for the treatment of industry, etc. but for my age group (born in the late 70s) we don't really feel that IMO, unless there's something passed down from previous generations. It's all about the sport for us instead. And the 'big one' thing is wearing off a bit now that beating them is not such a novelty.
Ireland seems to be the 'grudge' match for Wales now - just because of close results in recent times, but with Ireland handing us some whoopings too.

Scotland haven't needed an opposition in recent years.
We've done perfectly well to beat ourselves.

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
Interesting points on the Ireland grudge match. I guess you could also add in the factor of big gobs like Keith Wood and Alan Quinlan always talking up their team, and for the most part when they've done so Ireland have gone on to lose! Gatland is still vilified by certain sections in Ireland for some reason, was he not the man to help bring Irish rugby out of the stone age?

Personally, I like the Wales - Ireland matches. Always a bit of niggle, banter and enjoyable days out at both stadiums supported well by both sets of fans. for all the grief that Gatland gets from some sections of the Irish crowd, he always has my respect. An excellent coach in my books

Re: Those 6N's Rivalries
I think Wales, Scotland and Ireland all see England as the biggest rivalry for their own varying reasons.
It doesn't always relate however to the biggest or best games of the tournament.

They do, because we all know how much England fans rate their side because of their performance in RWC 2003, even though they have the 4th worst record in terms of 6 Nations Championship success (we've won more games though etc etc)
Even in the face of last RWC performance there is no humility. hope Eddie jones can bring some and perhaps some success so their talk is finally , at last, backed up by results.
i've a feeling in the short term there will be more of the same , mainly because lancaster bred schoolboys and there is no leaders in the side.

Get over yourself
Its not wumming just because you disagree and don't like the opinion of another poster.
However you choose to shout WUM at every opportunity when you disagree and don't like the opinion of another poster (or probably just my opines).
FACT England won RWC 2003
FACT Every year, ad nauseam, we hear how well they are going to do in this year's 6 Nations, even this year!
FACT They don't do very well each year (except 2011 when they won) They could, should and nearly do but seem to have been unable to convert
FACT They have overwhelming resources in relation to the other home Unions and shoudl be doing better
FACT Selection has been an issue, specifically consistency and the new broom philosophy that lead Lancaster to discard a true centre for a willo the wisp in Burgess and put Barritt out of position in a CRUNCH game against Wales
FACT They have been lead into one of the most embarassing blind alleys at the last RWC by an incompetent coach compounded by a Union that seems equally clueless and yet was talking itself up as a World beater
Because it is unpalatable you call it a WUM. It's the facts so if they wind you up, that's your problem.
No i suggest you find something else to get upset about. I am not making personal remarks i am just relating the FACTS about England.

The reverse is also true and to be honest , although I do not read all the Anglo-welsh bickering threads , there seem to be a lot of Welsh frustration directed to English posters for no good reasons. I do not recall seeing many posters here "bigging up" England more than it should really : having come 2nd a few times I an row make them natural contenders of the 6N. That's a fact. It's not like as if I or a Scotland fan (sorry) would be banging around about how our team will win the tournament etc. that would be deemed as arrogance.

It's nothing to do with patriotism LordD, it's just wumming. The same poster just trawls threads about England and looks to derail them. I'm sorry to tarnish the Welsh as on the majority as they're a really good bunch.

I'll second that. If you look at Gwlad's posting history then 90% are attacking/wumming England, possibly 5% are on mixed England/ international threads which are not WUMS and very occasionally he'll post on a welsh thread.

Expressing an opinion which doesn't match yours is not actually offensive in itself, even if its about Wales.
Sometimes Cyril (like a lot of us) crosses the line but saying he doesn't like the Welsh anthem isn't the same as what a couple of Welsh ex pats do any time they come online.

Gwlad is consistently trolling English threads, you obviously don't see it as the normal Welsh poster has little interest in English threads.

Gwlad is consistently trolling English threads, you obviously don't see it as the normal Welsh poster has little interest in English threads.
I must admit, I do not go on the English threads that much, so perhaps I have not seen the extent of his p1ss taking, but there are guilty people on both sides.

No doubt LordD, almost everything that he types is a WUM against the English(on threads about English rugby), it's just bizarre.
It just gets extremley boring seeing a poster detail every thread.
