I love the history and rivalry of the 6N. But it is alarming when people conduct themselves in such an appalling manner. People will ALWAYS find a way to let you down. Sorry Eddie. Rog www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/43235314 |

Sweaty socks were celebrating like they had one the grand slam, guess when you only get a win every ten years you might get a little excited!
Deep fried dog shit anyone?

And a calm reasonable, and thoughtful response from the man himself as ever. . His krisma cannot be denied, I'm smiling before he opens his mouth.  |

Pissed up louts, what else can we expect?
A shame to see football fan type behaviours creeping into Rugby. It was always the more gentlemanly sport.

I assumed Sir Eddie would be travelling with a driver in a RFU car.
Says something about the gent that he's making his own way by train, and not even in first class.
Of course our conduct has now ensured that won't happen again.
Such a pity, but it's only a game.

We were in the local pub (for local people etc) near the gliding club when the England Scotland match was on. The place was crawling with excitable jocks all glued to it and cheering noisily. Being a naughty sort of boy, I was desperate to shout "Come on Engerland" but in the event, courage failed me. Well that or finding the remote control and changing channels saying "Oh, Eastenders is just starting" (except that it was a Saturday).

We have done this a couple of times in French bars in rural France watching France V England Rugby and despite there only being a few of us have always been made to feel welcome with the bar tender making sure we got some of his free nibbles he'd laid on for the match. Even with copious amounts of wine/beer consumed they all remained very affable. It may have been different in one of the cities but we have never tried that. |

The Scots get very little to cheer about sportswise, beating England in the 6 Nations is as good as winning the soccer world cup. They deserve to enjoy their moment of glory, the next could be decades away. Don't care either way myself being half Scot, but my Scottish half enjoyed it. |

I have sat and drunk guiness whilst watching 6N matches in bars, with opposing fans many times.
I've never experienced anything worse than the 'banter' you'd expect.
I've attended club rugby matches without experiencing anything hostile from opposing fans.
I'm sure Sir Eddie would be the first to expect to receive some stick (an Aussie hooker) but the description goes well beyond that.

I doubt very much it was rugby fans. Most probably some pissed up Scrotes who had nothing else better to do. I remember being the only white shirt wearing Englishman, amongst a sea of green Ireland shirts in a packed bar in Wexford in 2003 watching the 6N (incidently that was the year we won the world cup ). Not a bit of bother ! |

I've always found the Irish to be particularly accepting.
Don't know if it's always been so, or whether it dates back to 'the troubles' when the England team played when others declined.

I hate rugby. It all goes back to when I had the misfortune to go to an abusive shithouse prep school (Stoke Brunswick now closed because it was a shithouse full of scum including a perv teacher later jailed for taking boys in his private plane and doing the wrong thing) a school where the sports teacher liked to get the boys running around in the snow with shorts and short sleeved shirts and get us to bang our hands on tree trunks because it was good for us.
Being a southern softie public school toff I hated this and therefore hate rugby. Its not as bad as football though. Football is proper infra dig.

Rog Despite the Irish always wanting to piss on our parade at rugby, I think that there are still a lot of old coffin dodging Paddy's who still acknowledge the fact, that we went to Dublin to give them a game of rugby, when the Scots and Welsh were running the other way....

I went to an abusive pervy school, although not the one you mention, and funnily enough our sports master was a raving paedo too. It was forbidden to wear underpants beneath sports shorts, and he used to line everybody up, and pull open the front of their shorts to "check". Our music teacher enjoyed administering corporal punishment to the point of ejaculation. |
