6 Nations
- Thread starter Davo
- Start date
At least you wont get the wooden spoon this year. Wont get much else either mind.
Its amasing how we miss three players(granted 2 of whom are world class) and we pose absolutely no attacking threat from the backs.Davo said:
Someone predicted Ireland to lose their first three games. Christ I wouldn't be surprised.
Wales - must be kicking themselves that the WC was not this year. Their form of late has been fantastic and the WC was just a year too soon. Great to watch.
Scotland - transition I know but still - Oh dear.
Italy - couldn't really tell.
France - will bottle it against England on the last weekend
England - could probably win the Grand Slam with their third team.
Ireland - Missed O'Driscoll a lot as well as Geordan Murphy, Mags didn't look his usual self either. Will fair better against the Welsh
Jocks - Their defense and Swiss Cheese come to mind. No power up front, will do well to stop England putting 30 or 40 past them.
Welsh - Great in Flashes, fitness still a concern. Slackened off in the 2nd half last week.
Frogs - Brilliant individuals, if they can keep their discipline will push England all the way and may even win it
Eyeties - Getting better every year. Kirwan is a great coach and will get the best out of them. Excellent side considering their lack of options
England - Complacency and French brilliance should be the only thing stopping them winning the Grand Slam.

If Finland would be in y'all would have 7 nations, and y'all would get your asses kicked 
But I must confess we never had a decent team in ladies soccer.

.....'kin easy yesterday, Wales revival me arseDavo said:
england now look like a southern hemisphere side can play their worst game and still get well over 30 points. tho they will have to play better than they did against the jocks if they are to beat the irish or french.
O'Gara seems to be a starter for Ireland this year. If we are to have any chance against England then we need a form kicker. His kicking this year at every level has be very poor.
Grewcock and Shaw are both missing for England. Borthwick will start alongside Ben Kay
Dawson comes into replace Gommersall at Scrum-Half and Jow Worlsey returns at Flanker in place of Chris Jones who drops back to the bench.

MEN CHOKE IN FRONT OF LARGE CROWD

front of them, apparently after being force-fed a large slice of humble pie.
A doctor attending the scene said that the men had a medical history of this
sort of thing: apparently it also happened in 2000 in Edinburgh, Wembley in
1999 and Landsdowne in 2001.
