I couldn't find a sport section, so I'm shamelessly posting here for traffic!

I'm happy to see either side win to be honest. Anyone any thoughts or preferences?

Do you mean Italy v Scotland?

shudup · 22/02/2020 14:11

Ye, Italy v Rome would be amusing.

Italy v Scotland lol.

I’d like Italy to win as it goes as they never beat anyone...

Daftarchie · 22/02/2020 14:12

Yes I'll be watching. By the other side do you mean Italy?

shudup · 22/02/2020 14:13

Ye, I'm wanting Italy to win for that reason too, but I'm also fond of Scotland.

My husband’s family is part Italian so in theory we should support them... but I still think of them as the newbies and therefore feel I want Scotland to win!

shudup · 22/02/2020 14:14

Daftarchie I was watching the coverage and Rome and Italy were in my head. Poor Scotland never got a look in haha.

As I'm Scottish I need to support themGrin.

shudup · 22/02/2020 14:15

They're surely 20 years in the 6 nations?

If nothing else, we get some eye candy. Whether you're into a manly man or a more refined man, this game, appeals to every woman.

@shudup Now you’re just making me feel old!

shudup · 22/02/2020 14:20

I don't understand the scrum rules.

OP posts:
PrincessSarene · 22/02/2020 14:20

Oh yes. My enduring love of the Six Nations is purely for the sporting skill on display Grin

gabsdot45 · 22/02/2020 14:23

I'm Irish. It's fun to have a national sports team that don't suck.
I don't really understand the rules but I always enjoy the six Nations.

shudup · 22/02/2020 14:24

Aren't they lovely! Lol

PrincessSarene · 22/02/2020 14:26

They seem to use a new procedure to set the scrum each year... always takes me a few matches to get used to it.

shudup · 22/02/2020 14:28

It's a very ungraceful game today I have to say.

Good run by Bellini

PrincessSarene · 22/02/2020 14:29

Run! Run! Guess I’m supporting Italy then Grin

PrincessSarene · 22/02/2020 14:32

Quite a few handling errors so far. They should have better ball handling technique Wink

shudup · 22/02/2020 14:33

Haha - I support whoever is running unless it's against Ireland and then it's 'Get him, get the fucker, get the fucker ffs!!!'.

PrincessSarene · 22/02/2020 14:35

shudup · 22/02/2020 14:35
