If 6 Nations Rugby is a Religious Festival, does that make the Scots atheists?

Is this all about this ball game that makes use of an egg shaped ball? What a strange game.

16:30: SCOTLAND -vs- ITALY

19:00: IRELAND -vs- ENGLAND

It's Super-Saturday!



The obvious question is:...



Will Italy add Scotland to their list of scalps this year?



(There might be another matter as well but it escapes me for the moment...)

That other question: will England secure a grand-slam?

Well played by all. A great six nations tournament; one which saw Italy beat France.



Special congratulations to the Irish who fielded a superb team yesterday. A team whose professionalism exposed England's inexperience.



That said, well done England! We won the 2011 tournament!



Final results:



1. England - 8 Points (+51)

2. France - 6 Points (+26)

3. Ireland - 6 Points (+12)

4. Wales - 6 Points (+6)

5. Scotland - 2 Points (-27)

6. Italy - 2 Points (-68)



Looking forward to the World Cup this autumn. And despite the usual predictions of a Southern Hemisphere clean sweep lets not forget that that's a long battle, giving all sides opportunity both to warm up or to weaken. Don't write off the Northern nations just yet!
