Six Nations 17/18

Post by BR »

One for the anoraks.

Has anyone heard if the contrived bonus point system is to be continued this season?

Yes. It's being retained for 2018. Not sure if it's still "on trial".

Sure, it was an unqualified success last year. Engerland won didn't they?

Maybe they should invite Namibia and Botswana to join and split the championship into 2 conferences?

Just beat me to it 222. :thumleft:

FIRFU.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Can we all have a good laugh at the Six Nations please?

Turned down an offer from RBS thinking they could better. Well they couldn't so went crawling back and had to accept less. What a shower of idiots.

Oh maybe RBS offered more and they are the idiot's :scratch:

Times have the story but behind a pay wall.

In that case from now on don't bother yourself with this international stuff. We will make this a non Baggy thread.

Everyones a winner. :lol:

Ironic given our perceived strength is in the backs that we have 3 forwards compared to 1 back.
