Talk about it here, not in the F1 thread.

I think Button stands a good chance of winning this year.

England stand a good chance with 3 home games but i think France may get it again.

[Munki Bhoy]

Going to the pub to watch Wales v England tonight. Looking forward to it, even though I suspect we'll suck again tomorrow. My Irish mate - who thinks they'll Grand Slam it this year and knows a lot more than I do - thinks we'll beat France though!

I have a friend who's a big rugby fan but personally I don't really like sports like that much..unless it's motorsport, cycling or perhaps swimming that's about it.

Prefer him to Hamilton in terms of driving style, but I don't think MacClaren will be at the very front again this year..

Why does it command prime-time BBC one? Can they not isolate it for the Southerners?

[Johnny 1989]

Rather have Rugby on TV than the pile of steaming turd that is EastEnders (and I'm not a rugby fan)

[bmstinton93]

What a great way to start it off, the scores should have been closer at the end but very happy England managed to win. Now for Ireland and France to win too!

I'm feeling quite confident about England's chances now. We didn't hat a bad game and Toby flood played brilliantly. France are the ones we need to beat now

I don't watch this, I don't get this, but go scotland!

Etc.

Toby Flood did have a good match, but it was a good team performance, no one really stood out for me - I would have given the MotM to Tindall. Also for the short time he was on the field Wilkinson was immense. You'd think after all the injuries he's hold back on the heavy tackling, but he's as huge as ever in that department, and it is always overlooked that his tackling is even higher quality than his kicking.

I wouldn't get too carried away. That was a pretty shite Wales team and they had us under all sorts of pressure. Lets wait and see what happens when we play someone good. Hopefully we'll raise our game accordingly, but you never know with England rugby.

[Yudster]

I don't care who beats Ireland.

[bmstinton93]

Scotland were quite a surprise yesterday, think the other teams may need to be wary of them this year. Thank god Ireland scraped through though, that would have been terrible if they lost.

I still can't see anyone but Scotland and Italy finishing 5th and 6th

[foot-loose]

Shurrup.

[bmstinton93]

I think Scotland could get 4th if they get a bit of luck.

They'll have to beat Wales if they want to do that though

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Luckily Wales are shite. France will win it again if they can be arsed.

[Munki Bhoy]

Wales made too many mistakes otherwise they'd have beaten England. Ireland were lucky to beat possibly the best I've seen the Italians play. France's scrum was scary but so was their defence. All three matches were highly enjoyable.

I happen to think it's quite open this year. Wouldn't be surprised if there's no Grand Slam this year. Still fancy France to win the championship though.

[dimtimjim]

I hope Rossi recovers from his shoulder injury soon, keep the season interesting....

[S4B]

We did indeed make many mistakes but you can hardly say England are playing WELL! It's been a travesty of a 6 nations so far. Oh except for the French coach throwing a hissy fit and refusing to talk to his players.........Go ITALY!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I wish Everton didn't play well like that.

[Munki Bhoy]

I think my last post on here shows what I know about Rugby. France to win the championship ffs.

The only thing that's impressed me is Scotland's ability to play just slightly worse than whoever they're playing that week. So who knows what will happen to us against Italy. Depends what Italy turn up!

[Boboff]

It was a good call at the time.

We shall see what comes of today, I really enjoyed the Scotland England match, the Scots defence was amazing, better than any of the other teams we have beaten!

What ever the result is in Ireland, I really wish I was there, that is a great place for a Rugby International, whoever wins.( *realises why never a sports person, prefers the getting pissed to actual sport!0:0)

[bmstinton93]

I think Ireland might beat England today but i hope not

[nade]

I think Ireland might beat England today but i hope not

And then some

However Wales got a tanking as well, so it didn't really make a difference for the 6 nations. And it was nice that the home team managed to avoid the spoon on the last weekend.
