2015 RBS 6 Nations

[True-blue-8]

To me, international rugby is certainly the best form of the game, and the 6 nations, my complete favourite, kicks off this week with Wales V England. I'm certainly looking forward to it. I haven't seen a thread for this so thought i'd pop one up.

Can Ireland make it back to back titles?

Was just about to start a thread on this, big first game for the Welsh on Friday, bring it on!

Someone voted Italy!

yay finally I thought no one watched this

I'd bet on Italy for a 3rd place finish

I was going to start a thread on it tonight, England third

we'll be lucky if they get that high

Ireland look the favourite on paper. Solid squad and not had a terrible streak like wales/England lately, but I think this is wales' year
France, no chance. will battle Scotland for the spoon
Italy will cause an upset. They're getting stronger, and hopefully Giovanardi is fit

Just voted, Wales (of course).

Let's hope we play to our potential Friday night but it'll be a tough tournament.

I was born in England but have lived 99% of my time in Wales.(Welsh Mother/English Father).

I thought the '12 team was better.

Reason? Two words...

GRAND SLAM

Speaking of which, do you think there'll be a Grand Slam Champion this year? It would be epic if there was a match at the end of the tournament with both side going into it undefeated and untied.

2013 was better. England were on a massive streak, and it was a shock for wales to win (admit it ) and in that style

Won't happen, because Ireland will be against Scotland.

Unfortunately not mate, can't afford it on my student salary
and don't get me started on my world cup final rant


This is going to be great!!!!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Brilliant light show and pyro in the build up there, and the greatest national anthem impeccably observed, and I'm not talking about the English one!

 

[Pagey279]

Born and bred Welsh...

You have my condolences.



After so much build up this better be a good game!

Waaahh Try Wales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Half time.....Wales 16-8 England, great drop goal at the end of that half...

 

[True-blue-8]

Good fun so far. England are really poor defending their own half, it's only when wales gets to the 22 England try

Anyone's game still though

 

[Jimlaad43]

2 great tries. Falatau's rip from the scrum was genius, while Mike Brown somehow turned a crap ball into a spectacular try!

Get Dan Cole off the field, he keeps giving Halfpenny 3 pointers.

Mike Brown has always been our best player to me, he actually thinks when he has the ball

 

[xZAMGMarmite]

Thats more like it "lads", we can win this.
