Any thoughts on the notion of introducing relegation into the 6 Nations? Georgia and Italy would play a test match with the winner being in the tournament next year.

And here, from The Guardian, is clarification on my earlier mistake regarding ties, bonus points etc. I misunderstood the Brit, and it looks like England wins a tiebreaker--despite head-to-head--if Wales drops a game, but the 3 point "Grand Slam Bonus" makes a tie impossible despite England racking up bonus points throughout the tournament.

With a three-point “bonus” to ensure a grand-slam champion always beats a rival who loses once but gains a fistful of bonus points

Yes, I think Italy's had more than an opportunity to make it's point and it's been made for them by losing 34 of the last 35. Georgia would at least be competitive. They bring it.

Yep, if Ireland wins, England takes it. The crazy stat that I saw this week was points scored; England scored a third-plus more points than Wales or Ireland.

I don't like the way they're trying to set this up though. Tends to take away from the 6 Nations and whatever they're calling it down South these days. Just add the relegation and have each winner play a match for the global championship in the Fall.

30 minutes to go. On the brown line headed into the maelstrom of River North on St Patty's weekend, which I never do.

Got my Wales jersey on. Come at me, potato eaters. Or I should say millennial bros of German-Scottish descent who play Irish once a year.

Fuck this fake ass, amateur hour holiday. Fuck the Irish. Fuck the fake, wanna-be Irish. And fuck Notre Dame while we're at it.

Phone died while in line. Couldn't take pics (lots of douchebaggery including one moron in a sequined green suit wearing a box of Lucky Charms like a medallion). Met up in line with a couple of other Wales fans and two Asian girls who go to Northwestern and watched the second half with them.

The Fado bathroom was normally for 1 person (shiter and urinal with a locking door), but today it was essentially two pissers with a line. I walk in amd some dude is sitting on the toilet taking a shit. I back out. Door opens and two guys leave together. The shitter says, "I hate your hat (was wearing my old school woody hat along with my red wales jersey) and informs me that he and his buddy were michigan grads. I said, "ahhh michigan grad, so you were just sitting down to pee."

Went to Eataly and grabbed some new amaro for the bar.

Now, having a civilized cocktail away from the madness.

Holy fucking shit, Scotland. I watched the first half, and England looked like a faster version of the All Blacks, utterly unstoppable. I left, and I just saw that they gargled their own balls in the second half and the Scots tied.
