Transcript
- Byron: There's no URC this weekend ⁓ because Six Nations is back What a competition we're having in the Six Nations. Chad: Yep. Byron: I say we talk about the games and we give our predictions because our first predictions were completely wrong. Chad: Everybody's predictions are completely wrong, but yeah. Byron: Okay, so first game, is Friday night, well, I Saturday morning. Chad: Absolute cracker. Byron: How badly do Ireland beat Wales? Chad: Yeah, she's... Do you think that the Wales would have taken something out of that, like some hope and belief at their last game against ⁓ Scotland? Byron: because Scotland? Sure, they can take whatever they want out of it. It's gonna mean fuck all. Because after Ireland lost to France, they've been on a tear. Chad: Yeah, and they absolutely mauled English, which I was so happy about. It did. Byron: what they did to England. ⁓ it felt good, didn't it? It felt good. Okay, so that's it. We both know that's an easy one. Scotland, France. Chad: Yep. I hope the next two games are upsets but I hope if I had to choose one game to be an upset this is the one just to ruffle the feathers even more for this competition Byron: For the competition, yes, I agree with you. I think Scotland beating France would be amazing for the competition. But Italy beating England is better for World Rugby than I can imagine most things. Chad: Yes. Also fantastic for Scotland. Yeah. I reckon... Sorry, are we done with the Scotland-France game? Byron: I don't know, they're fucking interchangeable at this point. Chad: The way I see the game going on my Sunday, England, Italy, I think England won the match, but Italy won the battle up front. Byron: I like the way that sounds. I like the way that sounds. Chad: I reckon, I think they're gonna... The Italians at the moment I think have the best scrum. Byron: in the sixth nation. Chad: in the six nations. ⁓ and they've been so good at the breakdown. I reckon they, they wouldn't that's battle upfront. whenever these scrums line outs, even their malls looking not too shabby, I reckon they'll dominate in that area, but then England's going to send the bulls out wide and do, do fun things. Byron: So then we saw kind of England struggle once their plan got thrown out against ⁓ Ireland. If Italy can put a hold on the hard ball against England and kind of throw all their tactics off and they're dominating in the forward pack, do think they can do enough to beat England? Chad: No, even like I'm looking at their squad that they've announced. They're not holding anything back. Byron: No, they have to win this game. England have to win this game. Chad: Yeah, they have to. They've taken Pollock back on the bench. Byron: which arguably is his better position to come off the bench. Yeah. Chad: 100 % No. Yeah, he, I've got so many opinions about him. ⁓ Byron: Because he is an explosive player, he's a fast player, that's like his thing. So when you come off the bench and implement that, it's way more ⁓ impactful than having him start and do that. Chad: Yeah. Yeah. I also think having a character like this in your team. it must be so fucking annoying. Like as somebody who's just constantly causing cuck for the sake of causing cuck and trying to be a doers. That energy is... Yeah, but he did it in a different way. He just wanted to inflict pain. Byron: I mean, back his words or that it? Yeah, he did it by beating the shit out of other people illegally.
