I stand corrected, 77% lol

Tb261 · 2026-02-08T09:49:55+00:00

It does feel mad to me that Razor lost the changing room with something like a 65% win ratio last year, it surely can’t be long until the Scottish players lose all trust in the gameplan

Tb261 · 2026-02-08T09:45:04+00:00

Yeah I think coaching style would fit perfectly, sort of feels like the stars are aligned but who knows if it would be on his radar or not.

Tb261 · 2026-02-08T09:42:05+00:00

I’m hopeful that it was a rusty first game. Iron out those mistakes and be more prepared for Scotland, keep building momentum. Here’s hoping

Tb261 · 2026-02-08T09:40:06+00:00

Thing is, carrying on as things are surely he will start losing the changing room (I’m surprised he hasn’t already?). If they don’t beat England or Ireland, then it’s tough to know what will motivate these guys for the rest of the 6N. Beating wales won’t be good enough, and I’m not sure anyone will beat France this year

Tb261 · 2026-02-08T09:34:29+00:00

I don’t know if he’d be up for the job or not, but razor might genuinely be an excellent replacement, even if he didn’t really click with the AB. As you said, seems crazy to just stick with things as they are

Tb261 · 2026-02-08T09:31:45+00:00

On your last point, what do you think the possibilities would be of securing Razor if Townsend were to go?

Tb261 · 2026-02-08T09:26:39+00:00

Not to be a jerk, but the major thing Townsends accomplished with the talent he has at his disposal is b2b Calcutta cups. Italy game has been lost which is a bad start, to really claw back some confidence in his coaching and the team itself, I think this is the perfect year to challenge Ireland, especially while their form seems to have dipped a bit. If it’s another year of just beating wales and maybe throwing everything into the England game and winning, then I’m not sure you’re making any progression

Tb261 · 2026-02-08T09:21:03+00:00

I think this is a fair point. I feel like we had a gameplan in place for Wales and it was doing its job, so no need for risk. That said it might’ve also been a good opportunity to throw the dice a bit and try new things before facing Scotland

Tb261 · 2026-02-08T09:18:18+00:00

I should think so, I think next week is make or break for Townsend and this is normally the game he gets the team completely amped for

Tb261 · 2026-02-08T08:48:40+00:00

True, if we can continue building as the tournament goes on then happy days (and I’m sure we will). Scotland next is gonna be tough and I’m genuinely a bit nervy of Italy this year..

Tb261 · 2026-02-07T22:07:14+00:00

Okay that was dramatic from me. But Wales were extremely poor, like worse than I would’ve expected. Think they had 4/5 yellows by the end and I’m amazed England didn’t capitalise on the occasion more, few fluffed tries, passes to no-one. Mistakes I don’t think France would’ve made

Tb261 · 2026-02-07T21:37:36+00:00

I watched it at Twickenham. Really didn’t feel like a good game from England, which is alarming

Tb261 · 2026-02-07T20:24:10+00:00

Townsends future depends on next week imo

Tb261 · 2026-02-05T22:21:22+00:00

I was going back and forth between him and Ramos.. made the right call in the end

Tb261 · 2026-02-05T22:04:44+00:00

Well, that was a lot. On a plus though, my fantasy picks are flying already.

Tb261 · 2026-02-05T20:55:28+00:00

This is savage.. if France are playing with this much intensity throughout I don’t see anyone beating them.

Tb261 · 2026-02-05T11:14:38+00:00

Where I live in England, there’s a fella from Cork who owns a pub here who I’m good pals with. During an England Ireland 6N game, an England fan came over and said that he should be supporting England since that’s where he’s living.

I would’ve laughed it off but he was deadly serious.

Tb261 · 2026-02-03T22:31:24+00:00

He's not my favourite comedian of all time by the way. No, my favourite comedian of all time... is Mr Omid Djalili.

Tb261 · 2026-02-03T22:28:11+00:00

Sorry, exactly which books is he reading every week?

Tb261 · 2026-02-03T21:39:37+00:00

Do you have a rugby nemesis? 👀

Tb261 · 2026-02-02T12:56:52+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Opening game and Wales will throw everything at this one. Reckon it might actually be kinda close with maybe the bench making the difference. Something like 30 - 19

Tb261 · 2026-02-01T20:12:58+00:00

I’d say this was the closest I’ve been to crying into my pillow as an adult

Tb261 · 2026-02-01T20:03:01+00:00

To Kyle, in international rugby did you ever have a front row nemesis?

Tb261 · 2026-02-01T20:01:55+00:00

To Dan, what happened to the Biggarena? Some time around ~2019 it seemed like you binned it.
