Cornish Pirates at home. I'm not a rugby fan but I only know that as I've sorted Pirates hotel accommodation out!

Premier Inn just up the road ?

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Premier Inn just up the road ?

I reckon the Brittania in town, or maybe the Hylands.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

You're both wrong!

 

[rob9872]

It's back!

The Ramada? Good game this.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

The Ramada? Good game this.

Nope.

They're not penniless!

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

For logistics I'd say The Village by Hearsall Common. Big gym and not far from the ground.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Hell of a game on paper to open the tournament. Ireland doing well so far.

 

[oscillatewildly]

French indiscipline being their Achilles heel yet again.
It's all over the place mind - Spotted a crowd segment ten minutes ago and a bird was brazenly smoking a fag!

 

[oscillatewildly]

That's a great response just before HT.
Still an almighty tall order though given their one man down position.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Tournament over if Ireland get the bonus point? Can't see anyone else stopping them.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Try!

 

[oscillatewildly]

Game back on!

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Living up to the billing, got a bit of everything!

 

[oscillatewildly]

Too much, way too much. Bit surprised by the margin - Thought the French may have held up the Irish a little more but no doubting the absolute quality of the Irish. (Yet again)

 

[mrtrench]

Thought France did well with 14 men to keep the score down, although still a comprehensive Irish win.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Poor from England.
So many points dropped in this one.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Wales getting utterly taken to the cleaners here.

If it’s like Italy, smoking bans don’t apply in stadiums.

Really?

 

[Sick Boy]

Really?

Yep, can take beer in the stands as well and a decent amount of black market cans sold in the stands themselves.

I honestly thought there was a worldwide (certainly Europe) ban on smoking inside stadia.

As with train station platforms, it doesn't count as a closed space. I think some of the teams that get tourists going to watch them, like Juve, Inter and Milan have their own rules about not smoking outside of designated smoking areas in the stadium but they're ignored and not enforced.

Watching with 2 Welshmen

Watching with 2 Welshmen

Whatever ewe do, don't mention the sheep.
Good god, the cheeky bastards are making a game of it now.

 

[oscillatewildly]

There's a suggestion that Welsh kick for touch went dead - No replay from BBC though.
Or TMO.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Incredible for them to get to within a point

 

[oscillatewildly]

Hold on to your sporrans and leeks!
What a boring sport this is

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Not going well atm…

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Wtf was that, can’t hear the commentary but surely that wasn’t him starting his run up

The ref said it was, there was a high tackle three feet of the floor and the player who went off for that has just had to go off for a head injury check because his gum shield says so, strangely the player on the receiving end of the tackle hasn't had to, stupid game really being strangled by more and more ridiculous rules.

Bit like life really - Being strangled by rules. The last bastion being rugby. When that happens it's essentially game over.
And I'm not referring to rugby.

Even when I do enjoy games and I do enjoy the Six Nations, I think rugby must have some of the most baffling and daft rules out of any sport in the world.
