well it is that time of year again,    the greatest show on earth is just about to kick off.  good luck to you all may the best team win.

[Skippernick]

Finally some decent rugby rather than that sh*te Bath serve up.

Well looks like it will be between Ireland or Wales again. Good luck to Paul O'Connell, thanks for years of great service to Ireland & Munster.

Watching both France and England, I can't see either of them being dominant enough to get a grand slam. No disrespect to Italy or Scotland but they were not that tough opposition and neither France or England dominated. Up against Wales or Ireland playing like they did, I can't see them winning.

As an England supporter I'd like to see England up their game - a lot.

Cheers

England supporter with a surname like wales :lol  Only havin a laugh... My mate has the surname wales and he is Scottish and a Scotland and Celtic football fan

[Skippernick]

I know i was making a point.
I'm reserving my judgement on eng until after the tournament.

[lew600fazer]

Will be interesting to see how England bed in with the new coach. Sorry but being an England supporter has to be one hell of a cross to bare. England's biggest problem is the media, they build them up just to pull the rug from under them when they fail. The fixture list though does not favour Ireland, France away on Saturday and England away on the 27th February.
Think the Welsh are in the driving seat.

you should walk it, lew,?        also we should walk it wales that is.      but you dont know what england are gonna bring.      they should beat italy and then will be  full of confidence :eek ,      and you cant train that.      italy is fine for a bit of a bit of early sun and a piss up .

:rollin The Italians are not the walk over they used to be, year on year they get better. with France you just never know what France will turn up on the day.

[nickodemon]

The Italians are definitely getting better every year. Its a hard one to call who will win it. I predict that there won't be any grand slams this year... Ps lew600fazer, as far as i can remember there isn't a northern ireland rugby team in the six nations :lol

[lew600fazer]

Disappointing day for the Irish in France, and that will have come as a hard defeat for the Northern Irish lads and captain in the team.

[Skippernick]

That'll do nicely.

[taylor]

nice one skipper, not a great start  but a great result it was much like the welsh game.      no one is standing out as a clear winner but  Scotland are getting very good again. :eek

[taylor]

well as some of you have said italy are not the whipping boys anymore  ,

[Cellarman]

well as some of you have said italy are not the whipping boys anymore  ,

They were good in the first minute

[esetest]

Come on fat lady , start singing .

[taylor]

good win England but i think if we had 3 mins more lol.

[HarryHornby]

Wales didn't make that a close finish, we got cocky (again) and let them back in!

[Skippernick]

I see its almost gone quiet from our Celtic cousins!
We were just toying with you Taylor, took a man off to help you as well!
