The triple crown would be the one I'd go for, they actually might do it!

You can get 11/5 on Wales for the triple crown, 7/1 for the grand slam and 7/2 to win the 6 nations.


And just out of interest, what could I have got for Wales to win at Twickenham?

Just before kick off they were 9/2. At the start of the 2nd half you could have got 25/1.

I love having bookie's databases to hand :D

As it happens, i am job hunting at the moment. I'm not sure I'd be up to standard though, don't you have to be really quick with numbers? I'm not bad, but a long way from great!

Well we beat the Scotch! I know it's not hard to do but.............

On a French matter.

1. What the hell is Vincent Clerc wearing on his feet? Makes him look like he's related to a duck!
2. When will they stop playing those stupid trumpets? It annoys me intensely to have to block out the sound of their irritating song/call to war to be able to hear either the commentary or the crowd.

I'm no rugby fan, but 'dire' goes quite well with those words.

I got almost as annoyed with that stupid bloody commentator as I did with the rugby - and that was very annoyed indeed. Not the main commentator, the secondary idiot who kept shouting and losing his temper, and mostly about the wrong things too.

I would add the words "shower" and "unfit" and "unprofessional" to the list already given. Whatever you thought of Clive Woodward and his management style, the players were the fittest and best trained in the world when he was in charge, they won a lot of matches because they were just fitter and stronger than their opponents and could play hard right to the end. This England team look shattered by the second half. Whats going on behind the scenes? I think we should be told.

I don't know if they do it in the rugby, or even if they still do in the football.. but Sky Sports, when the interactive service first started, had an option to choose the regular commentary or a fans' commentary. It was brilliant. They had two fans in (different ones each time), one for either team and they may as well have been watching completely different matches half the time, especially when the derbies were on.

They do that for football too, but it's absolutely awful, even worse than "proper" commentators.
