If you ever get tickets and you don't want them I would always buy them off you.
Parking would be a bonus too 😉😉😉

Posted on 10/02/2018 14:44 by PATMAUNever got tickets yet jonray57. If you come to Twickers, leave the car at home, parking restrictions all round the stadium and residential roads are permit holders only. Good public transport though.

I think we've probably seen this year's winners today, though whether it's Ireland or England I wouldn't like to say. Ireland were very efficient against an unbelievably poor Italian side, notwithstanding the 3 tries they scored, England got the benefit of a rather dubious TMO decision which looked like a Welsh try to me. France will probably wallop Scotland tomorrow unless last week's showing under goes a substantial improvement.
I can't say I've been overly impressed with anything I've seen so far though.

England didn't play well, Wales did, but didn't do anything with all their possession, apart from a couple of raids into England's 22.
The TMO has been a friend today, usually it's been an enemy and Underhill's try saving tackle was akin to JPR in 1976.
Ireland didn't have any worthy opposition and will struggle at Twickers if they play in the same vain
Expect Scotland/France to be a high scoring game tomorrow

Agree with your view. As 'English' as I am, the Wales try was legitimate for me. I was amazed when it was disallowed. It certainly was put down with downward pressure (On my TV anyway)! I know that it is easy to be an armchair expert but I get frustrated when we are attacking their line and somehow loose discipline, give away a penalty and relieve pressure on the opposition. Would I be correct in thinking that we (England), seem to be guilty of this more than any other national side?

Yes JD and yet week after week in the post game interviews we get the same 'buzz phrases'
"It was a good performance, but there's still plenty to build on"
"Our discipline let us down at times, but we'll put it right for the next game"
"It's something we've been working on. Credit to the opposition"
What the hell do they do in training all week?? Some would argue 'enough' because the win ratio keeps building. It is frustrating when good play and field possession is thrown away due to ill-discipline
Still the Chariot keeps rolling on

Just arrived at San Jose and straight on to wifi to find the results. Best part of a very long and stressful day. Sounds like the lads were mediocre but took their chances. Will read more n the morning. I'll miss next week's games but hopefully the best is saved for the last match.
