6 Nations!

[DR]

As many of you know - I am a huge Rugby fan - and pretty much follow it on a daily basis.

So my predictions for this weekends games.

England vs Scotland - England will win. Reason - they have to, first game under the new coach and some fantastic players back. Jason Robinson, Vickery as Capt, and Wilko (albeit a risk - but a sensible move with Ryan Lamb from Glos and Flood not quite there yet it makes total sense)

With Olly Morgan winning his first cap - and the incredible job he has done at Gloucester this season lets hope he can transfer that to England. A really strong front row - and should be good to see the Wilkinson/Robinson/Tindall/Farrell line up in action. Its the most sensible England line up in the past 3 years.

Italy vs France - France will win - no other option in it - should be interesting though to see how the Internationals who have been playing in the GP - Bortolami and Nieto who are both regulars for Glos. No doubt in my mind they have raised their game and made an impact in the GP - hopefully it can help Italy throughout.

Wales vs Ireland - This is going to be a close one - whoever wins this will probably end up winning the title, my money is going to be on Ireland, they seem to be in the right stature for sure.

End Table?

1. Ireland
2. England
3. Wales
4. France
5. Scotland
6. Italy.

England/Wales position will come down to on the day performances - the passion which Wales seems to be flying at the moment is killer - but they do slip up on occasion. So England 2nd or 3rd - Wales the other.

Can't wait

Mostly agree with your table although England and Wales could well swap places.

I think France could prove to be a dark horse this year. And Wales will probably trounce England

[DR]

Wales if they get it right on the day will beat England - especially playing in Cardiff

Hate to say it, but I think Scotland will do alot better than 5th, even if it pains me badly to say so

not to sure about Wales this year, they have alot of suspensions/injuries

I actually reckon England can take it. New coach so they will be all fired up hoping to prove themsleves that they belong in the team.

Next is the fact that our first few games are the easier ones. A couple of wins will inspire confidence and that goes a long way.

Also the 6 nations always throws up odd results and the table can be turned around very easily.

I am not saying it will be a Grand Slam. No way but they could win it. Right amount of passion and a bit of luck and it is possible.

I just hope Gavin Henson gets a kicking, because the guys such a ****ing ponce, he makes my skin crawl.

Ireland def to win, England 2, France 3rd, Wales 4th, Scotland 5th, Italy 6th are my predictions.

the poor camera work on the BBC is really, really starting to _____ me off...

[El Gordo]

Nice to see that France had Jesus named as man of the match.

Result: ENGLAND 42-20 SCOTLAND


(When I say we, I mean England of course... sorry to the Scottish posters out there!)
