6 Nations with Spoilers

[Beebo]

It starts this weekend.

Can England continue winning, will Scotland come good for once. Will France turn up this year?
Let the games commence.

From an England point of view, Italy in the first match let’s us ease into the tournament slowly. I don’t expect a cricket score though.

I think the jocks might sneak it this year .

England / Ireland 2nd or 3rd
Wales /France 4th or 5th
Italy - spoon

I wasn't bothered about watching Italy-England last year, i was glad i did though, one of the most entertaining games of rugby i have seen.

They won't be able to pull the same trick again.

Scotchland for me (to be fair I say Scotchland are going to win it every year) even the Welsh guy from work thinks we are in with a shout

Scotland

IF
they get to play the free running game they did against the Aussies, the scrum is a bit light, plus the belief has to be there.

lol

go on then enlighten us to your thoughts.

Based on the Rugby I watched in the autumn , the Scotland team played bloody good rugby , better than England in all matches and certainly better than the Welsh ( which It makes me sad to say being Welsh)

Eddie Jones seems to have instilled a calm self belief in England that lends itself to tournaments like the six nations. They seldom win with any great flourish, but they're hard to beat. They have the crucial ability to grind out charmless victories, even when they're sub-par. They also have the strength in depth that comes into its own amidst the bruising relentlessness of the 6N. Without wishing to hex anything, I'd back England to win, but no grand slam - Scotland at home will probably spoil that little party.

Dare I say it .... Scotland are very much in with a shout.

I expect England to top it ,but Ireland may bring the suprise team.

Looking forward to this year more than usual

Sorry. I wasn't laughing at your predictions particularly.

It's just that whenever anyone predicts Scotland to win at either rugby or football, it generally ends in tears.

"We're on the march, we're Ally's Army" etc. etc.

P.S. I don't feel too bad for posting my lol after reading "Anyone but England". Bit sad really.

Apart from Italy being bottom of the pile its difficult to predict

France - their domestic game is so strong that you would think that this is the year that they will get it together - Scotland could go either way I thought they had some good performances in the Autumn but always felt that the opposition were giving them chances that wouldn't be there in 6 Nations matches - Wales dont seem to know what their identity or style is - but will be difficult to beat - England will be there or thereabouts assuming that injuries do not emasculate the core of the team - Ireland I think are the team to beat

 

[Threevok]

You are all mad

There's only one winner this year

England v Ireland on paddys day,the craic will be mighty up around twickenham,tickets are like rocking horse shoot,Should be the deciding game of the tournament.
