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!

Just wondering if the referee could implement a backstop during the 90 mins this afternoon. wink The French may need it. I reckon that the Wales Ireland game will be the best spectator game this year, today may be very important for the Irish preparation for this. May also help the English!😜

I wouldn't say comfortable. Don't be so sure of England doing the same to Scotland! as they did to Italy.

 Wales hardly broke sweat against the Scots and their sternest test will come next week against the Irish (have you ever seen a more one-sided game vs the French????)

Wales have the habit of winning, even if their games are somewhat dour affairs. The coaching of Shaun Edwards is defensively reaping rewards for Wales and I fully expect them to win next weekend

England vs Scotland at HQ? A dead cert win by at least 20 points!!!

Micky....I have to disagree with you there, I think the Wales vs Ireland game next week will be the most dour game of the tournament - both teams have excellent defences which I think will cancel each other out. I hope I'm proved wrong.

The most exciting game will be at HQ with England putting at least 30 points on the board. Also think the Italians could well do a number on the French!!

It's just all too excitinglaughing

Though the Welsh defence is good, very good, we have to put points on the board to win....

True, however Wales and Italy are the only teams without any bonus points. The latter is understandable, but not Wales! We're used to seeing exciting running rugby from the boys from the Valleys and with a few exceptions, it seems their defence takes precedence, hence not many tries.

Though our defence is good the ironical thing is that we have exciting and excellent backs that need to be let loose...

Up early tomorrow to take SWMBO to the supermarket to get supplies for the games. I suspect a lot of the 'Black stuff' may be consumed as I turn myself into an Irishman for 80 minutes laughing Back to reality with Pork pies and chutney for the final game smile

A  lot  of  sorrows  being  drowned  in  that  Black  Stuff  tonight frown  or  so   I  guess,  Jonray  !!  Last  few  seconds  now  &  25 == NIL  == Glad  I'm  not  a  crew-man  on  the  ferries  tonight  sealedinnocent

Sympathy  try  3 mins 20  in  the  RED  !!  So  25 == 7

Think  there  was  much  more  bite  in  the  'All  Continental'  match.

Congratulations Wales, determination and they played the technicalities excellently in the Principality to overcome a rather bedraggled Irish team in my opinion, may be they should have had the roof shut.

Just wish I could get excited about the Calculta cup now.

Over in Rome I thought Italy were the better side but the post defended well and later a loose carry lost it for them.

Oh, well Japan RWC next after a few important friendlies in between.🙂
