Good luck to all.
Difficult game and season for Wales, I fear.
The underfunding and poor support for the professional game beneath the international team for many years is starting to bite. |

Ireland are playing very well.
Whilst we’re waiting for the main match - Stag (Scotland) and Vixen (England), for a bit of fun we’re supporting opposing teams for each game.
I’m on Ireland and Vixen on Wales today.
Not so sure if I draw Italy tomorrow.

I would like to see Italy do well this year for a change.
They always give their all but just don't quite pull it off.
Would make a nice change to see them in the thick of it |

The only time I watch rugby is the 6 Nations and knockout stages of the World Cup.My £100 is on France at 6/4 to win the 6 Nations Championship and £100 at 10/11 for under 686 and a half points across the 15 matches which basically means under 46 points per match. |

Quite a few rule changes, especially at scrum and also the timing of releasing the ball at the breakdown.
Very noticeable in the Ireland wales game.
Scotland seems to have adapted quickly to okeefe insistence on the brake foot at the scrum

It's down to Scotland to stop the Bleu Grand Slam then. |

"That was a flipping excellent game. From start to finish!

Oh entirely expected. I did hope the scoreline would be the other way though.

Well it seems to be going well so far, it’s not very day your hooker scores a try let alone two in the first half |

Italy haven’t achieved the levels they did against France. This should be a high scoring performance from England. |

I'm not going to beat around the bush here. Absolutely didn't expect it to be going this well. |

True, though last season Bryan Byrne and Harry Thacker did it a few times for Bristol
What can you say about Italy, apart from just shaking your head. It may make financial sense to keep them in the 6N but it doesn’t make sense any other way… and that conversation just repeats every year *shrugs* it’s a bit sad |

England should definitely be getting bonus points for this one. |

It is a bit sad, I always wanted them to do well with Parisse as captain but hey that ships just about sailed now |

The second half was, quite frankly, meh. Great scoreline but very meh rugby. |

Agreed but Marcus Smith is a great played |

He is! I'm still convinced he is about 13...... but he's got good stuff ahead I reckon as well. |

"Second half went a bit wonky I tell you what though Smith & Randall are a great little combo which seemed to work quite well "
We looked a bit nervous, but there’s great promise there. Perhaps a little bit of beefing up for a few players, but they’re young and will grow. |

I like the fact they are slight, Randall was just getting in and out of all sorts of scrapes, I’m hopeful |
