When all around think England are on an all time low, is exactly the time they will turn up and open a can of whoop ass on some f****r, as much as it pains me to say it, they have, and always will have , a tremendous squad of players available to them who play international standard rugby in the premiership every weekend, they are a force to be reckoned with. Theyre just not as good as Wales thats all ( it didn't pain me to say that )

 

Looking forward to the tournament, gonna be good , let the games commence.

Looking at those names brings on the cringe factor when i think of the past names to have represented the country.......

[Swampy 147]

Aye. Do you remember the Welsh squad?

Jones the hooker Jones the flanker, Jones the Fullback....Then the back row....Williams, Williams and Williams I think the stand off was a ringer coz his name was Edwards and I believe they once had a Davies! Who'd have thought it eh?

well fingers crossed wales ireland u21s wales lost wales ireland women's game wales lost perhaps its going to be third game lucky for us whats the matter with me when we beat ireland in our next game the sky's the limit this will be just the start we need for the six nations good luck to ireland but better luck to wales and may the best team win

 

not forgetting Scotland + England game good luck to both teams but better luck to the Scots lets hope we all remember its just a game

and is there to be enjoyed by all win or lose does it really matter who wins

 

well if your welsh yes it does we want to win weather our team can fulfill this. time will tell if we cannot win please don't let it be England best of luck to all teams

[Ossie n Arch 1,682]

All the best to all the teams playing today and tomorrow. Can't see England doing too well this 6 Nations, not with this in-experianced team. But i'm sure they'll give it a go.

Bit of a dour first half in the Scotland/England game...

[Malt 379]

Second half was a bit better. Scotland seem to have gone backwards though, made far too many errors in the final third of the pitch..

[Ossie n Arch 1,682]

Only just finished watching the game,

 

Well a win is a win, especially an away win. Nice to see England play with a bit of pace instead of all that pod crap and gaining field position. Still to many dropped balls and turnovers from England though. Something to work on.

 

Scotland, well i can't see them progressing very far in the 6 Nations, wooden spoon playoff with Italy methinks. Very poor execution and very little idea. Best bit for them was The Flower of Scotland.
