THE 6 NATIONS

My predictions for the tournament as follows:

1. Ireland (Despite Farrell being on sabbatical)  

2. France

3. Italy

4. England

5. Scotland

6. Wales (I hope I am wrong)

First place could be anyone of Ireland or France depending on how they get on in their clash. Italy to build on last years success and take the England scalp for (I believe?) the first time. England to take a beating from Ireland which will set the tone for their tournament and will see Borthwick out on his ***. I think Scotland's chance at a title has been and gone. If Scotland were to have done it then it would have been 19-23 and they now need to move on from Townsend and get a fresh start. Wales to push one or two teams close for the 1st 60 minutes but then fall over to a 15+ point loss in the last 20 minutes. 

As far as this weekend fixtures go, it'll be France, Italy and Ireland to take the wins.

Love your optimism, I can't see Italy doing much except beating Wales, but they'll hopefully not be the tournament whipping boys shipping big scores.

I agree about Scotland, although they were robbed last year, they need to perform as if it's England every week.

Borthwick needs to go after this tournament,  even if he wins, about time England played with some flair and excitement 🤭

Not sure about ireland, old and predictable the game plan has been worked out,prendergast is not the messiah the dublin pr makes out,having watched him live yes potential but slow with ball a lot of double handling to get the ball where he wants you wont have time for that against big teams,england well, potential but to many egos,wafting hair and back slapping everything...choice of captain well  very uninspiring..lol

Anybody see the U20s game last night?

I caught the last 30 mins, good game, good atmosphere and the English lads got it done, down to 13 in the the first half and didn't ship points, so discipline issues but a great work ethic.

Ireland looked like they had a well deserved try right at the end of the game, but the English lads still made the tackle despite it not making any difference to the result.

Just hope the senior squad play as well 🤞
