For me, the most exciting tournament in the sporting calendar as the 6 Nations lock horns and renew old rivalries and friendships over the coming weeks, with the added bonus of a World Cup to look forward to later in the year. Undoubtedly, the Irish are strong favourites again this year. Scotland start with 2 home fixtures, Wales are unbeaten in their last 9 fixtures and England are promising plenty of power. The French are at sixes and sevens whilst the brilliant Sergio Parisse can expect another season without a win.

A competition like no other.....let the games begin!

As neither Ireland or Wales seem to be playing at their best at the moment the clash between the two side should be an interesting contes.

I only saw the second half of Scotland/Ireland match but listing to the pundits I missed a great 1st half, but again Scotland made far to many elementary mistakes to really challenge the Irish.

Hopefully England can come away with a good win tomorrow and add the extra bonus point.

No surprises for me in this afternoon's fixtures, Scotland vs Ireland being the more entertaining game.

England to crush Les Bleu tomorrow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hope not.

But Wales were horribly lack lustre today. And the ITV commentary was suitably lacking any interest or enthusiasm. Where were "Eddie England" and Jiffy when you need them????

WTG are you siding with Les Bleu?? Tut tut.

Yes, Wales were lack lustre again, but to keep winning when you're not at your best is no bad thing!

Eddie & Jiffy in the commentary? I rue the day William Pollock McLaren CBE, retired from commentating. For me, he was the master and made any dull game an interesting affair - much like Clifford Isaac "Cliff" Morgan, CVO OBE who, sadly, has also hung up his boots (again) recently.

Not sure who the duo were commentating on the Italy/Wales game yesterday, but one of them didn't understand the knock-on law, the other was plain dull, apart form his laugh-out-loud comment of "lack of spatial awareness"

Another display of power and dominance from an England side, who, to be honest, only needed the first half to rack up 30 points and a subsequent record score over Les Blue

The last time I saw an England side with this power, skill and dominance was back in 2002...... and we all know how that ended in 2003!!!

Could hear the English singing Swing low sweet chariot from the back garden. Riotous times in Twickers tonight, me thinks.

Well done England.

Just a question, why did Wales turn out what many thought to be a second XV. All very well in the old 5 nations set up but today those bonus points could be crucial. Not a good plan in my opinion as they only drew 2 tries a piece with Italy, a bit disappointing I would think for the faithful. Time for a management rethink?
