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?

That match was boring, hoping the next will br e much better.

Italy have been the underdogs for ages. They usually start really well and then run out of steam. I think they should stay in the tournament, though some disagree

Alf - they looked really unfit towards the end. Struggling to run.

Good, no (commercial) adverts!

ImperfectAlf · 22/02/2020 16:33

Shudup you're right. But I'd still rather they were in than out. If their fitness was sorted out they'd do well

Well looking at the commentary, they're talking about French fitness.

Ye, I wonder why they're so unfit? Surely they'll have looked at that!

You'd think so but it's a common problem for them. Same in the World Cup

Maybe less amore and more rugby lol. Bless.

Ooh. So I'm for Wales here (tentatively), because they can rob Ireland of the tri-nations. And the whole thing really.
So maybe I'm for France lol.

I mentioned needing diazepam (jokingly I thought) for the game tomorrow on this thread. I've received a pm telling me they deliver diazepam hahaha! And something else which I don't recognise the name of. Your local MN drug dealer eh? On a rugby thread? Seriously?

I think England needs a proper one. I refuse to sing the UK anthem for England in games against the home nations. Ireland, France and Italy is different obvs

C'mon you Welsh!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 22/02/2020 16:45

I love all the anthems. The Italian one is pure Gilbert and Sullivan.

If I were doing my degree now, I’d do my music dissertation on national anthems.

I sit on the couch, and join in with them all.

I love the anthems too! Can't understand a word, but love the music.

If you see an AIBU with the following, you know it's Kate:

AIBU to think that my DH is being U because has gone off for the day to Wales to watch his team and I'm left at home with 3 under 7?
