*** The Official Thread of the RBS Six Nations Championship ***

[Barrel of Fun]

England are the bookies favourites. Lot's of big names missing from the opening round or indeed much of the tournament. England found some form in the autumn internationals, but finished on a low vs South Africa. Promises to be an exciting tournament.

England 15/8
France 5/2
Ireland 3/1
Wales 5/1
Scotland 14/1
Italy 200/1

Just hope we do well in this tournement.

I have a feeling we will do OK, but not more than OK.

I see Armitage has been banned for pushing a drug tester and is set to miss the whole of the tournament. He has only been on the periphery,so not a huge loss.

Booooo! Martyn Williams has been dropped. Love that guy.

Martyn Williams is a great player, that's a great shame.

Really looking forward to this tournament, England should win it!

I pray we beat Wales, as i say every year when this comes up, being an englishman in Wales when they beat us is crap!!! I get inundated with texts about wheels falling off chariots and many many more!!!

Not long to go now.

Halfpenny is out of the opener.

Playing on a Friday is fecking shit. I don't mind some on Sunday but do remember the days when they would all be the same time on Sat.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I quite like the evening start. Drags the round out a bit and we have two days of rugby.

To wet the appetite...

Have tickets for the Eng vs Italy next week.

First 6 nations game for me and I can't wait.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The Italians were desperately unlucky today. Hopefully the match next week will be a good show.

Scotland on the back foot at the moment, but not down and out. I can't see them coming back though.
