pazzesca l'interruzione sulla meta!!! cosa avreste fatto al posto degli irlandesi? io sarei impazzito!

[JerryCollins]

che mandava a quel paese qualcuno s'è visto di sicuro.. era al fratello? per non aver detto all'arbitro al momento del giallo che il fallo da ammonizione l'aveva commesso lui? anche per questo il match è stato assurdo, compreso il problema di satellite all'ultimo minuto

e chissà che succederà adesso nella partita tra inglesi e gallesi

[Wijen]

sisi c'era il fratello in sfondo.....poi magari mi sbaglio ma sembrava proprio così!!!
in effetti il caro Rory poteva almeno provare a farsi avanti!!

[BixBeiderbecke]

Certo, è stata una scena molto bella. Prima l'ala francese che aveva subito il placcaggio in ritardo è andata da S. Lamont e gli ha detto qualcosa. Magari ha cercato di consolarlo per l'espulsione ingiusta, poi Lamont è andato dal fratello e lo ha mandato a quel paese.

Chissà che aria tirerà questa sera in casa Lamont. Dovranno intervenire i genitori?

[sean79]

HAHAHAHAH..per una volta nonostante i Francesi mi stiano sul caiser, preferisco abbiano vinto loro. Sorry, ma questo è quello che penso

[BixBeiderbecke]

Scusate se torno sulla solita, vecchia, trita questione.
Però, senza fare nomi, uno sport che utilizza un pallone dalla forma più regolare rispetto al pallone che usiamo noi, potrebbe imparare qualcosa anche dalla partita FRancia - Scozia.

Con tutte le questioni sulla buona fede degli arbitri e sulle designazioni, sui sorteggi o cose del genere, oggi, nel rugby, un TMO irlandese con la sua decisione ha in pratica consegnato il 6 Nazioni alla Francia a discapito dell'Irlanda. Chapeau.

Giusto,anche perchè la meta era chiara e limpida

[MAX_AM]

Cosa aggiungere a queste dotte disquisizioni?
Il mio avatar parla per me....
Grande, in any case, Italia.
Mai, mai avrei pensato di essere presente ad un simile delirio ....
Alla Francia all my compliments & my respect.

Scotland coach Frank Hadden praised his players for their 'gutsy' display, despite seeing them go down to a 46-19 defeat to France.

Hadden saw his side score three tries, through Nikki Walker, Sean Lamont and Euan Murray at the Stade de France.

But they could not suppress the French, who went over six times themselves to all but seal their fourth RBS 6 Nations Championship in six years.

'We are disappointed with the result,' he said. 'We came here to win, although the better side won on the day.

'We had very relatively little to play for in this game, but we put in a gutsy performance. We ran out of steam, though, in the second half.

'Some of the French scores were fortunate but they deserved to win and to win the championship.'

Hadden was happy with his side's tournament as a whole, even though they finished with a 1-4 record in the end.

'Before the start of the Six Nations, we had 14 injuries and everyone thought we were in disarray,' he added.

'We ended up coming here disappointed we did not have a chance to win the title.

'We should have won our last two home games (against Italy and Ireland) and that would have given us a chance of winning the tournament.'

Scotland decided not to kick for goal three times in the dying stages, preferring instead to go for tries.

They ended up going over, through Murray, just before the start of injury time.

Knocking over all the penalties on offer, however, could have ruined the title hopes of France, who needed to win by 24 points to overtake Ireland in the table.

Captain Chris Paterson does not regret the strategy adopted by his side.

'We just concentrated on ourselves,' said the full-back, who booted four points on the day.

'I was unaware how many points France needed to score. I was just thinking about the development of our team.

'We wanted to score tries for the benefit of the Scottish team.'

Elvis Vermeulen scored the winning try for the French deep into injury time, although it needed the say-so of the video referee before it was awarded.

Paterson added: 'I didn't see the grounding. One or two of our guys thought they had got the hands under the ball.

'The referee said he was sure it was a try so we accept it.'

France team manager Jo Maso hailed his side a 'world-class team' after seeing them win their fourth Six Nations title in six years.

The French were unstoppable going forward and went over six times during their 46-19 win over Scotland in Paris through Imanol Harinordoquy, Yannick Jauzion, David Marty, Cedric Heymans, Olivier Milloud and Elvis Vermeulen.

It meant they finished the tournament having won four of their five matches, last weekend's 26-18 defeat to England at Twickenham the only blot on their copybook.

'We wanted to win, and that's what we did,' said Maso.

'It's a great day for French rugby. We said the match against England should be a source of learning.

'It's not easy to win the tournament. But we have won three of the last four, and that makes us a world-class team.

'Champions are champions in a moral snese. They hold themselves in dignity.

'We weathered a storm in England, but this team has gone on to hold their own.'

Maso believes winning another title will boost the team heading into the World Cup later this year, which is being held on French soil.

"By September, we will be ready to do our best,' he added.

'The World Cup will be extraordinary. We are going to be tough to beat.'

Head coach Bernard Laporte, who was taking charge of his last RBS 6 Nations game at the helm of Les Bleus, had nothing but praise for his team's achievements.

He said: 'I am stunned, even dazzled by the way the team played and managed to hold themselves together, especially at the end.

'It is a culmination of a whole week of hard, hard work. I commend the mindset of our players.

'It was one of our best matches for a long time, although there is no such thing as a perfect match.

'We started to gain positive momentum, and the attitude of the players made the difference.

'The crowd were great as well. The public are ready for the World Cup - they were on the same wavelength as the players.'

Raphael Ibanez, who has captained France throughout the Six Nations in the absence of injured Fabien Pelous, admitted Ireland's massive win in Italy before France's game had given his side some thinking to do.

'We were mindful of their result,' said the Wasps hooker. 'We knew what we had to do. But it was not a conventional match format.'

France were just hours away from being crowned RBS 6 Nations champions for the fourth time in six years, barring a sensational England victory against Wales, after a thrilling victory over Scotland in Paris.

France needed to win by 24 points to end Ireland's hopes of the title and a try from Elvis Vermeulen at the death for Les Bleus secured the required victory margin.

Les Bleus were level on points with England and Ireland coming into the final round of matches this weekend.

They were looking to bounce back from their disappointing 26-18 reverse to the world champions at Twickenham last Sunday, and also gain revenge for their surprise defeat to the Scots at Murrayfield last year.

They made four changes, arguably the most crucial being the selection of Lionel Beauxis - making his first start for France - at fly-half in place of the injured David Skrela.

Head coach Bernard Laporte was taking charge of Les Bleus in an RBS 6 Nations match for the final time.

Scotland went 7-0 ahead when recalled winger Nikki Walker beat Clement Poitrenaud to a steepling Dan Parks up-and-under and grounded in the left corner. Chris Paterson kicked the extras.

Beauxis pushed an early penalty wide but on his next attempt he narrowed Scotland's lead, and then France moved ahead when Imanol Harinordoquy bulldozed over from close range - Beauxis converting.

Pierre Mignoni created a thrilling try for Yannick Jauzion, which Beauxis converted before kicking a simple penalty from under the sticks.

Sean Lamont hit back from Scotland just before the break, with Paterson's conversion making the score 20-14.

France had to go on the offensive and extended their lead in the 53rd minute.

David Marty was sent over in the other corner, despite initially fumbling the ball, and Beauxis converted nonchalantly from the touchline to make it 27-14.

Cedric Heymans added an unconverted score in the left corner.

Sean Lamont was sin-binned and France stretched their lead when Olivier Milloud crossed for his first international try.

That gave the French a 25-point lead, but Irish hopes were revived when prop Euan Murray stormed over. To French relief, Paterson's conversion rebounded to safety off the woodwork.

And with time running out Elvis Vermeulen barged over from close range - the video referee confirming the score - and Beauxis kicked the extras as the Stade de France celebrated.

Però se sei ironico dovresti mettere le "faccine". Già ci sono fin troppi malintesi, qui.

Se non sei ironico, prova a leggere il commento scozzese alla partita (o guarda nuovamente l'azione, se puoi)

[rasen64]

Ero un pò ironico,ma non troppo. Purtroppo nessuna faccina di queste mi soddisfaceva,sennò l'avrei messa. Cmq non era assolutamente ironia nei tuoi confronti

[Ilgorgo]

Se in caso di differenza punti si fosse usato come primo criterio distintivo la differenza mete gli irlandesi avrebbero vinto nettamente: +12 per loro, + 6 per la Francia. Come ha scritto qualcuno ieri in un'altra discussione, anche se si fosse utilizzato il sistema dei bonus-point l'Irlanda avrebbe vinto il Sei Nazioni. Però la Francia aveva vinto a Dublino quindi alla fin fine penso sia giusto che il sucesso finale sia dei blues

PS: ah, quasi scordavo, ho fatto il mio record a scacchi. 1489 punti! Cioè, no, dico...

[rasen64]

Daccordissimo con Ilgorgo,l'Irlanda si rifarà al mondiale
ps-come lo calcoli l'elo,quale programma usi?
