Six Nations 2011

Does anyone know of a decent site streaming tonight's game between Ireland and Scotland?

Well Barry tried to get a stream all night without success MyP2p only had one stream and that didn't connect, made do with rte radio stream. Will be out to watch the win against England though

Yeah, I've tried it myself - no luck at all, though!
We're leading 21 - 12 at the beginning of the 2nd half, though, according to BBC World ....

Bit of a scappy game, but certainly exciting in the last quarter. Congrats to Ireland and look forward to the game in a couple of weeks.

With regards to the streaming, for future anyway..... I've found in best in recent weeks to not go through the myp2p site, but simply to download the SopCast software, and to go to the Sportzone channel. I've managed to get very good streams recently.

Congrats to the Italians huge, huge win.

Right, now for a big Welsh win before the Scots stuff England's Grand Slam hopes

Dreamland Richard!!

The Championship is Welsh this year.........

[richard]

OK Ok ok

Siblings are Welsh fans but I'm a Tyke so an England supporter

In football terms in 1972 my wife supported Arsenal and I supported Leeds. Wow what a hotpot that was

The Championship is Welsh this year.........

well with a decision for the winning try the luck certainly went your way
i always thought rugby was a role model for video technology . . . WTF were the officials on to allow that try?

You could also use the argument for the Italy vs France game - clear forward pass for the Italian try.

As for the Welsh try, personally and not being biassed (honestly ) - I don't think it was taken as a ''quick linout'' .... technically, there were Irish forwards there, so the lineout was forming. Therefore not necessary to use the same ball that actually went into touch. The referree's question to the linesman was not ''was the same ball used'', but ''was the correct ball used''. The answer given was a firm yes and the try awarded.

Regardless, fairly cr@p display by both teams on the day - bl**dy frustrating, as Wales seem to be moving backwards these days. Wales could well suffer a nasty backlash from the French in Paris in a week's time.

a solid welsh view of the incident

from a neutral viewpoint, the irish were clearly waiting for the ball to be returned & considering it went into the crowd why wouldn't they?
as for not technically being a quick lineout? that's stretching a bit
the linesman was of course at error cos obviously the 'correct' ball was not used

should be an interesting game for your boys in paris, the french will certainly be licking their wounds between now & then

we'll demolish the sweaties tomorrow before we march on to dublin to clinch the slam

[caller]

Despite which, the Oirish should have won the game in the last minute.

I fear for the northern hemisphere teams.

The linesman had a great game - hope he's on the line next week!!

Unfortunately, I think Wales will be in for a torid time in Paris, as will the Scots tomorrow at ''Twickers'' - had to put a fiver on Scotland at 10-1 though!!

Yep - gifted Wales there, 2 man overlap and cut back in. Going for the easier converstion perhaps seeing as a try wouldn't have done it.

I'd say that a try and attempt at a conversion would have been the better bet, but history now.

Roll on tomorrows win.

[Big Boy]

Nah!! A Famous Scottish Victory is at Hand!! Well, I hope so.... 10-1 odds!!
