And so soon! So who do you think's going to win this year? I suspect it'll be dead tight, especially with us having so many injured players.

Well as there was some serious rugby spillage on the super bowl thread I thought we could have a six nations one for those lovers of the oval ball game!

This is what i love about this tournament-the uncertainty of it-the team that beat the team that beat you doesn't beat you...

i didn't see much of the Autumn internationals this year but it could affect the team morale in so many ways on so many levels...

I'll reserve judgement-but aren't Italy due to beat Scotland this year?

Suffice it to say that one of the best afternoons of my life was spent in the bar of a Dublin hotel drinking Guiness with a bunch of Frenchmen who couldn't get into the game-I had a fecking ball!

...Ireland beat France BTW

Can't see a slam this year must say, and Ireland are looking pretty tired that golden generation are starting to get slightly past their best.

Just got home after a long day with Quins and a even longer night in Twickenham

I have a sneaking feeling that France could be the stalking horse, though England looked good in the AI's

Can't wait for the start now!

So what did you think for the opener?

de-valmont said:

Pretty cracking game I thought, standard opener as both teams were a bit jittery and hardly fluent in all their moves, but a well deserved win and one in Cardiff too.

The only problem was I arranged a bet with a bookie I know for a win by 5-7 points England to score first with a try... 35-1....

Then got called in early to work and didn't get around to placing said bet...
