What makes a tournament memorable in rugby?
Off the Ball Daily, a home for your favourite podcasts from Off the Ball. Saying the me videos with all the kids in assembly, screaming my name, that fills me with absolute love and pride. I mean, like, nothing else. And I want to inspire them. I'm just a normal boy from Aldi County. Subscribe to the Off the Ball Daily podcast feed right now. I think they'll go all the way to the final, to be honest. Yeah? Yeah. I believe in my county and I suppose they're good at football, they just have to believe in themselves. I love playing 12, I love playing 10, I love being on the pitch, to be honest. Are you confident? Absolutely not. No! Thank you for all the supporters, thank you for the team, thank you France.
Merci la France, merci les baguettes, merci les croissants. Je vous aime, I love you. Hey! Well, I would have preferred Henry Pollock to not throw away the ball at the last minute against England for sure, but... I think that sets us up very nicely for this podcast. If you can't tell what it's going to be about, it is rugby focused. I think that's how the nation we're feeling on Saturday night. Couldn't have done anything else this week. This is Word on the Street, the podcast where we go out and we find people's opinions on sporting topics and we bring it back into the studio. We're missing Rachel this week, but I am here with Eve, who watched the Six Nations. I did. It was my first kind of super sad...
Super Saturday, is that what you called it? Super Saturday, yes. Super Saturday, where I watched the Ireland match. I didn't watch, no offence to Italy or Wales, but I skipped that one. Skipped that one, yeah. And then watched, in a pub, England-France. And... genuinely, there was a bunch of French lads behind us in the pub. The atmosphere was incredible. I had a great time. I had a very intense time. I had a very quiet Sunday then after. A few too many pints. A few too many pints. I was away skiing and we found this pub that I'm still not sure if... It was called Scotland Yard, but the logo was of a tube station, which gave me English vibes. But then underneath it said Irish pub. So it was just covering all its bases.
You should have ordered a French beer in there and said thank you in Welsh or something. Yeah, I couldn't quite go for the Guinness. So we were in there and similarly I had to go eat my dinner during the Italy-Wales game. And then came back for England-France and was surrounded by English people on their skiing holiday. So I was given out to them for being so useless. You see, I have a question here. So I was in a pub on Drury Street in the heart of Dublin. It was the Saturday. So I think because Paddy's Day is a Tuesday this year, people were out celebrating. So there was a lot of Irish people around. Obviously, a big group of French lads in the pub. And I felt like... We should all have been supporting England, surely.
Because if England had bet France, we would have won the whole tournament. And I said this and people looked at me like I was crazy. You can't just go and support England. We like the French rugby team. We support whoever England are against. And I was like, we could win the whole thing. I understand. Yeah, no, I was supporting England. So I was kind of cheering whoever scored, like, any tries. Just trying to be as neutral as possible. I wasn't even... I was cheering for anything that happened in that game, because it was a mad game. Yeah, it was very exciting. I feel like I've been slightly spoiled for my first Super Saturday.
How did the last Six Nations tournament compare to previous ones?
Your first Six Nations in general? Pretty much the first one I've paid a lot of attention to. So, I mean, every pundit we've had on Off the Ball this week has kind of been saying... what an incredible Six Nations. Can you remember? It's been so long since the last Six Nations that was this good. And I'm like, wow, have I been spoiled? So I'd never watch again. Yes, I think you have. And we were out on the street today chatting to people and they said exactly that, that this has been the best tournament that they can remember. So did you watch the Six Nations tournament and what did you think of it this year?
