And lo, the time is again upon us, where lads who played rugby once at high school talk sh*t for the next six weeks

Or, as it is known in Scotland, "Wooden Spoon Time"

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

There'll be no wooden spoon this year for Scotland. I reckon they'll win at least two of their matches (Italy and France) and perhaps three (Wales).

I'll not bother watching this afternoon then...

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I think Ireland are the form team......even without Sexton, but you never know, I might have been wrong in the past. We can but hope for a win.

I think your 2 or 3 wins prediction indicates you're gonna be wrong this time as well

On paper the sweatiez are better than us Taffs .

Italy could beat Wales by 50 points to Nil and still Howlett Gstland and the piersmorganlike WRU would still keep them in a job.

Scotland are shite.
And it won't be too long until Italy overrun them because they can only get better.
Funnily enough Scotland became shite round about the time of professionalism creeping over the border.

Bit early to be that drunk isn't it?

 

[Crackle]

Talking of which, I'm heading to the pub to watch the Scotland game. I reckon it could be good. And if not, well, I'm in the pub.

 

[subaqua]

Would it be wrong to detour to the pub on the way back from picking iPhone up from Fulham ?

And be a bit Donald with the truth to wife.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

I gave up watching Scotland some years ago. They rarely fail to disappoint.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Can't wait.done the shopping had lunch....biking then pub for England game..fish & chips perfect day..
I think Scotland may surprise this time round...

You've missed a really positive Autumn series, a great 6 Nations and a quality world cup in the last year or so.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Don't be so miserable - they performed well in the autumn.

Any road up, there's nothing wrong with a bit of fantasy before it all kicks off and we are sent crashing down to earth again.

I am going for a new tactic, after years of proclaiming how it's going to be Scotland's year for as long as I can remember.

I just hope nobody mentions any recent(ish) form which indicates some hope...

Doh!

I think Scotland might just surprise Ireland today.

Can't see beyond an England vs Ireland decider for the championship winner, but don't think either will achieve a grand slam.

Scotland to spoil it for Ireland this afternoon, and the Welsh to scrape a win over England later in the tournament... The Welsh always have 1 good game in them, and it's usually against England in Cardiff.

 

[Beebo]

It will be interesting to see whether the English strength in depth is a good as Eddie thinks.
There are a lot of first choice players missing.

I think Scotland might just surprise Ireland today.

Only if they're as consistently far offside as they normally are.

Ireland, England, Wales (though I'll be hoping Italy)
