RBS Six Nations 2016

I do hope the RWC has been a real wake up call for England. That courage, belief and togetherness as illustrated by the Japanese needs to be seen in the boys if they are to shine in the SNs. Let's hope they do! It will be interesting to see if Farrell will be in the squad after daddy's 'defection' to the Irish!

At least this competition should be won by a European side 

here are my list of possible winners in order of importance .  Scotland , Wales , France , Ireland , England , Italy.  I hope the eventual winner comes from the first four in the list.  I like to see the small nations doing well.

I reckon the title will be fought over by Wales & Ireland but no grand slam. England will use it as a testing ground. France will be a contender if the new Manager can firm up the mental attitude of the French players. The emerging nations of Italy & Scotland will put on a good show as usual, but as usual finish near the bottom fighting over the wooden spoon.

Is  France smaller than England K ?   ......

 

 

I think wales are the ones to beat.

Much as i would like England to win, I think that Ireland will take some beating, thats it, I'm of the fence now......

I don't think Wales (sadly) or Ireland will win it.  

At least we have a breather before the first 6 nations match at Twickers.  Then in lock down again on a match day.  Not as bad as the RWC though, at least they aren't intending to close the A316, or at least I don't think so.  Although they did tell us residents not to throw away the access passes they gave us for the RWC, just in case. 

Don't think England have any chance of winning, they are still too bruised from their humiliating defeat in the RWC.  But  I wish all the teams the best of luck for the season.

Good to see Tuilagi and Hartley back in with a shout for an England place. Ashton could also be a good choice, also, a few uncapped yongsters coming through. I think I might like this new coach's perspective .......
