Tonight will be our reincarnation, fast furious and attractive rugby something the English are about to look upon with envy



I expect us to win by at least 8 points, with Lilli cheering us on we can’t lose



Looking forward to Ireland getting their championship back on track tomorrow and hopefully the sweaties will scrape a win



Come on you taffs

Thanks Charlie boy, we are about to slip into 5th gear this evening. Just sit back and admire the passion and drive of our team. I'm sure England will put on a similar show on Saturday afternoon



This is turning out to be a good championship, maybe not the best rugby some some intriging matches

Obviously a proportion of posters here know as much about rugby as I know about synchronized swimming.



What happened was the French analyzed the Welsh team and made it impossible for them to play.

First half French coaching staff 20 Warren Gatland, Sean Edwards 0



Second half we saw that flash of Welsh brilliance at its best a further pass to hand , kick that went right and a penalty that missed and it could have been quite different.



France are obviously now a well settled team i can not see Johnson's plodders making any indent on them they now look favourite to win the Grand Slam.



Now the perfect end to the weekend would be for Ireland to beat the English, Hippo's prediction Ireland by 10 points.

Poor Wales, but as a nuetral Scotsman I have to say that the Welsh have been found out as they do not have the depth of decent players.

Us Scots are the most improved team in the 6 Nations although the results will not show it this year be prepared for a few surprises next year.

Who will win the Grand Slam- France

Who will winTriple Crown - Have to go with Ireland but like the Welsh, they are starting to be found out and new blood is needed.

Wooded Spoon- Italy, Scotland will show today how to play against the Italians and I predict a 9 point plus victory.

Don't make those excuses Scarlets, Wales were out thought not out played, when they realised how to beat the French then things happened.

I thought the interviewer at the end of the game was lucky not to get banjo-ed by Warren Gatland.



It is the gloating English mentality to rubbish the Celtic game, lets see how Johnston's wonders do this afternoon and against the French in Paris.

It's wonderful that England remain the team to beat for the obsessive Celtic and Froggy fringes. It really is - thank you all.



England on the other hand, while perhaps momentarily enjoying the drubbing handed out to their Welsh cousins recently, don't have too much time to gloat about any so-called celtic game. As well as not really caring about the minor provinces they're much more preoccupied with ensuring that at least one Northern Hemisphere team attempts to show up with the big boys at the World Cup.



Hi, Ang.



Not sure about the IPL as I haven't been following the squads though Chennai do have a strong batting line-up.

Scarlets you were obviously watching a different game than i was, although Wales did some very good things (when they decided that they were on the park) they lack the strength in depth that Ireland has.

In Dublin got to be an advantage.



It may be close but Irland by 10 points.
