Piglet & Piskie wager

[piskieinboots]

In one corner we have Piglet who is a seasoned Rugby Union player - his verdict is third or even fourth (wash your mouth out young man!!) place for England.

In the other corner we have Piskie who is a seasoned erm seasoned - hang on - we will come back to this bit ... seasoned [TBA] - her verdict is that England will finish no lower than second, which includes first or even Grand Slamming.

The winner gets a day of work on the land from the loser, to include lunch.

Round One
England are in first place on points

Round Two
England are standing third - but there is plenty of time to save me from being Piglet's slave

Round Three
England are standing fourth - oops

Round Four
TBA

Final
TBA

Based on their performance against Italy (was good of the Italian scrum half to help the English in the first half - don't forget to send him a card at Christmas ) at this moment I'd go with Piglet. I've just sat for the last 3hours and watched the 2 games from Saturday (Endland v Italy first and then Ireland v France). Without the Itallian Scrum-halfs mistakes and the points that England scored from it it could have been the upset of the series.
If your honest England were very lucky to win .
The Ireland v France game was one of the best games I have watched for a long time (not just because we won - though it helped ). Both sides took chances and were creative with the ball - something that was plainly missing in the English / Itallian game .
In 2 weeks time when England play Ireland if England put in a performance like they did yesterday they will lose . Then it comes down to Ireland and Wales and who wants it more .
I know who my money is on.

Ok then beefy how long have you held a flame for Wales?

I don't think they actually got out of second gear today, and the changes just, well showed strength isn't in depth.

They will be stronger next week I'm sure, they will get a beasting from the boss after that lack lustre second half.

I'm looking forward to the Ireland game also, I think it will probably be the decider.

I got all excited at the prospect of you two doing an arm wrestle or something and got my purse out to pop some cash down on Piskie winning....when I come here and find out it's flippin' rugby.

Bah humbug.

I hate sports.

I am nothing if not honest in all areas possible - but when it comes sport - my honesty is neither here nor there ....England won - end of

In 2 weeks time when England play Ireland if England put in a performance like they did yesterday ...

what - you mean getting a win? Yep, that works for me

But whatever the outcome, it'll be a goodly tournament - as always

Do you want some edited text highlights.

[beefy]

No I'd rather watch the whole match . You get a better picture of a teams strenghs and weaknesses .

What weaknesses, you must be watching a different game.

OK, I'm rooting for the England boys to do well, so I'm with Piskie on this one. Not based on any knowledge of the game or the team y'understand, purely cos I want to.

No just not watching it through leek tinted glasses
