6 Nations - Prediction Fun (or misery, if you're Scottish)!

[Archie_tect]

Rugby is not a 'posh peoples's game' in England either any more. Cos if it is there are one hell of a lot of posh people pretending to be common of a Saturday afternoon/Sunday morning.

And get this... more people play rugby in England on a weekend than in Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and France combined! 40% of the entire playing population on earth plays in England. And we are still also-rans on the world stage. Grrr.

Perhaps it's because more ordinary unfit blokes play rugby and drink lots for fun at week-ends in England?

Does that mean Robshaw is the classic English chinless wonder?

If France manage to score that much past us I may well give up on rugby.

Ireland 30 - 10 Italy
Scotland 18 - 15 France (assuming Murrayfield no longer resembles a bog...)
England 25 - 20 Wales

Use your head not your heart Marmy

Ireland 35 - 10 Italy

I'd like to be wrong on that last one mind.
