Piglet & Piskie wager

[bobleponge]

There is misery and hard labour in a Leicestershire garden ahead for you young Piskie.
But a good lunch I'm sure

Doubting Thomas young Spongey!!

*gets bulk order of bath salts ready

I don't know about about England but I suspect Piglet is right. However, I know where Scotland will be - last - cause we have a bunch of girlies in frilly pants playing for us! Oh, for the days of John Jeffries and the other Border farmers - who could play rugby and looked like rugby players. This lot look as if they bash one another with their handbags to get to the moisturiser. Sorry for the rant

[Glutton4...]

I'm with Piskie!

I know nowt about Rugger, but like BrideXIII it's the thighs lol

Missed the England game and only caught a bit of Ireland and the long-haired ugly Frenchman. Can't be bothered to catch up via i-player, but will keep up with future games now that you lot on here will keep reminding me when they are, as I don't have control of the TV in our 'ouse lol.

FF, I cant remember the last time I laughed so hard at something written on here. What a fantastic line. Big girls in frilly pants indeed.
I do fear for rugby north of the border, the days of Mr Jeffries et al seem a long long time ago.
However as an Englishman it does make me smile, as you would expect.

Piskie, I suggest you speak to your estate manager and see if you can order in an extra deep bath for your MQ, you are soooo gonna need it.

"Land of Hope and Glory"... First you have to have the Hope, then follows the Glory So I'm with Piskie, purely on a 'Hope' basis, and secure in the knowledge that I'm not fit to do a day's work in anyone's garden

I shall be man enough to stand by our wager - even though I won't be needing it - in fact, I guess I should ask for Piglet's details now so that I can get him booked in with the Guardroom

Ha - you think my sore back is something to be afeared of - just wait until Piglet has to queue up for the marigold search before he gets passed the man-with-the-gun
*giggles

[pigletwillie]

Being ex Royal Engineers and still playing rugby at 40 (and yes I do have the thighs)

1) a marigold search holds no fears.
2) being ex army, I played with bigger weapons than your bertie wooster Rock Ape could dream of.

The tattie bed will be just ready for digging over, all half plot of it come the end of the 6 nations.

I can recommend "lush" for their bath soaks.

[piskieinboots]

gawd lad - you so have the lucky end of this, as currently my lottie is on loan due to my college work - so no lottie digging for you and my MQ patch is a hankie .....
..it'll be 10 minutes of digging/planting/pruning and 5 hours of lunch for you if I win

[pigletwillie]

Dont worrit lass, it will be about the same for you,

probably all pricking out

[Mikey]

No just not watching it through leek tinted glasses

So did you see it, obviously the Welsh were adequate without being particularily exciting. Its quite strange to be saying this, but Wales are playing the game very much like England did a few years ago.

There is a lot of bulk, and they have become very lean over the last twelve months, as a result they are breaking the gain line well, but they still have an achilles heel with the lineout, as they have done for the last 20 or so years.

I think England will be really tested next week, the current Welsh side look a lot more disciplined than they have ever looked, the flair seems to have become a secondary part of the game, very southern hemisphere.

Its probably the first time in a 30 years that Wales will go in as favourites.

*gets tweezers

I think England will be really tested next week.

oh no doubt about that at all - I feel a dose of laryngitis coming on

[beefy]

I'm in the middle of watching the Scotland V wales at the moment (still in the first Half) .
Wales are showing why they are six nation champions . Totaly agree MW they are playing the way England used to a few years ago . I may have to worry more about Wales v Ireland rather than England V Ireland.
Wales v England this saturday will be interesting .

I think I have a case of scarlet fever, coming on myself, will probably last until next tuesday me thinks.

[bobleponge]

I reckon it may last till just after the end of the 6 nations Mikey, and quite possibly for the rest of the year.
I was in Nantes to see Wales get beat by Fiji in what was one of the best games I have ever seen, and the difference in them since then is astounding.
What the "old farts" were doing let the WRB take Sean Edwards across the river I shall never know.
You have a couple of world class players, Wyn Jones I think is a Lions captain of the future, but more than that, there is a belief and a confidence that runs through the whole team. Played very well without settiing anything on fire, although Scotland were poor (see above for brilliant quote by FrostyFreckle).
There is always, however, the question of haircuts.
