General Chat

A smashing win for the Irish ladies too.

"JONATHAN"

Jonathan is a fun Rugby Oriented Chat Show hosted by Former Wales Rugby International Star and TV Commentator JONATHAN DAVIES on S4C (Sianel 4 Cymru) Wales' Channel 4.

IT REMINDS ME OF A RUGBY VERSION OF "TOP GEAR" BUT WITH GLAMOUR!


Jonathan's co-presenters are the beautiful SARRA ELGAN, Actress, Singer, Sports Interviewer, and TV Presenter.
http://www.welshstars.co.uk/sarra-elgan

Sarra is married to former Irish International player SIMON EASTERBY.
Simon, formerly a coach for Llanelli Scarlets, is now on IRELAND's COACHING TEAM.


Also, NIGEL OWENS, hailed as the World's Best Rugby Union Referee (Nigel refereed yesterday's England v France Six Nations decider) who is also a Stand-Up comedian.



I have just watched the episode that was aired Friday evening, on the eve of the Six Nations Finale Day.

Of course, the main Rugby topics were speculation about the final round of the Six Nations Championship, and WALES' VICTORY OVER IRELAND the Saturday before.



Always a subject for teasing, is Sarra's position. Sarra, the daughter of former Wales International ELGAN REES, is now prominent on Welsh television, but who is married to an Irish former player turned coach.

The boys were teasing Sarra about her not being very happy, as her husband Simon HAD LOST HIS BONUS due to Ireland being beaten by Wales... and now Sarra would not have her NEW CONSERVATORY! :-D :-D :-D



EACH WEEK A WALES RUGBY CLUB IS FEATURED

This time it was at the BETWS RFC.
The steward is former SWANSEA RFC Scrum-Half ALAN WILLIAMS, who has a rugby playing family and is the father of SCARLETS and WALES' SCRUM HALF... RHODRI WILLIAMS.

It reminded me of GOGGLEBOX as part of this feature was WATCHING THE WALES FANS WATCHING THE WALES GAMES! :-D :-D :-D




Part of the programme this time, was where a CHALLENGE was given to Nigel, Sarra and London Welsh Head Coach ROWLAND PHILLIPS to reverse a large COACH.

Rowly was "full of it" but did damage to the coach by reversing into the railings.
Sarra did well, but she was just beaten by Nigel.



Guests this week were OSIAN ROBERTS .. FAW (Football Association of Wales) Technical Director of Football and Rally Driver ELFYN EVANS.



Also making a guest appearance was WALES INTERNATIONAL ANDY POWELL.

Andy, was made more famous, when he was caught riding a GOLF BUGGY down the M4 to buy some "Munchies"! :-0 :-0 :-D :-D

At the end of the programme, Jonathan gave his PREDICTION for the outcome of the Six Nations Championship 2015-

"Wales will beat Italy, Ireland will beat Scotland, England will beat France .....
.....AND IRELAND WILL TAKE THE CHAMPIONSHIP!"


AND HE WAS SPOT ON!


That was the last in the present series of "Jonathan". It will return in time for the Rugby World Cup.

Look out for it, as it is very entertaining. But the humour can be a bit naughty ;-) at times, so be warned!


If you cannot get S4C in your area
you could watch it Live or on Catch-Up on S4C Clic
http://www.s4c.cymru/clic/e_live.shtml

EDITED... I've just remembered that it's mostly in Welsh, unless they are talking to English speaking people (as in their interview with Andy Powell eg), but there's subtitles available.

:-D :-D :-D :-D@ SHAUN!

Thank you Shaun, but you do know that you will all have to bow or curtsey to me then! ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D


Yes, it was a shame, that last Italian Try and conversion. That alone would not have been enough to win the Championship, however. We would still have needed an extra 4 Points to beat Ireland. Or three points to equalise. Then it would have gone to the team with the most Tries.

But in the time it took for Italy to score the Try and Conversion, we may have scored again to secure the Championship win! :-( :-(


WELL THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR! ....
........NOT TO MENTION THE WORLD CUP!!!:-) :-)

Calling Radio Jem <3

Well what a fantastic day of rugby we all had, cannot remember when last we saw such great games.

Well done Ireland, commiserations to Wales, England & Scottland.

I think Wales would of got it if Italy did not get that last try, it was so close all the matches, wasn't it .

Jem, you can have a rest now until the World Cup, what a great job you have done keeping everyone up to date with all the games and team news. I'm putting you up for the Queens Birthday Honors list,
so keep an eye out for the post :-)

Shaun

Thank You so much, Everyone :-D :-D :-D <3


Welcome to our Rugby Thread Linda :-)
I hope you will come back and join us again :-) :-)



It's not all over YET! :-D

We've still got the WOMEN'S SIX NATIONS Championship to conclude.

The final game SCOTLAND WOMEN v IRELAND WOMEN takes place at Broadwood Stadium at 1pm.



The results so far-

ITALY WOMEN 22 ~ WALES WOMEN 5

ENGLAND WOMEN 15 ~ FRANCE WOMEN 21


In the lead at the moment with 8 Points is FRANCE WOMEN.
IRELAND WOMEN are in second place with 6 Points but with another game to play!

So if Ireland Women win, it could be a double Six Nations win for Ireland.
If Ireland Women DO WIN, It will come down to POINTS DIFFERENCE again!


Also still to come
