anybody?

Great result for Wales...the whole UK outside England would have been celebrating as the final whistle went

Scotland played well for 78 minutes....maybe next year...

Ireland should have an easy enough match tomorrow against Italy

Scotland should have won that, and England played terribly...I thought

I'm going to assume this is football.

I know it's early, but who are the favorites for Germany 2006? I really haven't been keeping up.

Bloody welsh, why can't they just lose. *mumbles on about leeks and welsh people*

But anyway, Wales outplayed us by quite a way, I have to admit that. We played awfully and now wales look like the favorates to challange Irland to the Championship.

France looked poor, the Scots should have won that match and where unlucky to have there try disallowed.

we lost it in the centre i think, i mean gavin henson v Tait is no contest.

I think Ireland are the only ones left in it really

England are not at full strength, and they aren't going to b throughout the Six Nations. Ireland to win, and I reckon close second between France (if they improve) and Wales. Still, I'd love for Engalnd to win it, but we are so weak at the moment, especially in the backs. We are missing major centres, such as Greenwood, and I reckon Wilkinson would make a better centre than fly-half. Hodgson is a better play-maker, Wilkinson better kicker, but hes so hard hitting, its wy hes always injured.
In other news, Italy v Ireland, foregone conclusion i think. Congratulations to any Welsh people on here *claps* U deserve that win, brillant game. Scottish, bad luck guys, you had them on the back foot

Please No. Not again. In Germany, Germany would normally be favourites, but right now that also looks unlikely. Try Portugal, England, A scandinavian team, or perhaps one of the African Nations (It s a diferent one every four years that does well).

Back to Rugby. Ireland to win the six nations this time? France struggled against what is currently a lowly Scotish team. England were awful then (I don't get to see it here in Brazil, no interest in Rugby), which implies Wales were not that brilliant. This leaves Ireland and Italy. Could Italy be seriously considered? I don't think so yet. So Ireland it will be.

He's only played 20 club games for the Flocans anyway, so what chance has the kid got against one of the best back lines in the world.

I know, we have had such a shitty season, its unbelivable. Basically, the only first team member staying on at the end of the yr is Kriege, and he hasnt had the desired effect

There saying it might be delayed for a seasonwhich is a good thing, gives aother year to stop it.

As for the so call 'mighty Quins' never mind about going down, you can always face Otley next year, you might beat the Black and White bastards, or is you do really badly (Or the dale do really well) you could be facing the Green Machine the year after. Ah, the joys of lower league Rugby.

And one comment about englands selection, what the hell was Dawson doing in there, he's not Englands best Scrum Half and his distrabution was slow all day, and his kicking wasn't great. Put Ellis in the team.

Even another season would be good. I just hope we never lose Franklins Gardens, its such a great ground

Or sixways...or any of the other great stadiums. Hell, I don't mind us staying with the foxes if they make Welford Road bigger, but for ever. The Chrisp Packet dosn't have any atomospher anyway, let alone a Rugby Atmosphere. And just so you know, I'm a Forest fan as well as a Tiger, though I support the Tigers more than The Reds.

Looking at todays table you are. I have to say I'm suprised you have some good players.

yeah, but we have a shortage of world class, cos Greenwood is injured, Daffyd James NEVER passes and that leaves Vos and Diprose really, maybe Duffy and staunton

Well, Italy v Ireland today. Ireland win hands down i think, unless Italy have stepped their game up in the past year, and i mean REALLY stepped up

Damm, I didn't want the saints down. I like them, espaccially Tompsons cameos as a center.

The Six Nations is closer than I expected! Italy came very close to Ireland today, kinda scary isnt it. They must have really stepped up their game
