Looking forward to the opening game tonight in Wales as Lancaster's England take on Wales. Possibly England's toughest opening game given their injury problems,
This tournament will be the last chance to see how much the teams have progressed since Autumn international matches and how many of the northern hemisphere teams are likely to be taken as serious contenders for the World Cup in September.

I would love to see this tournament be full of attacking rugby and individual skills and less of the TMO decisions and to me both and England and France have something to prove and I expect the title
will be contested by both Ireland and Wales I do feel it is possible that Scotland will be the ones holding the wooden spoon.

Any thoughts guys?

If Wales win tonight I expect them to win the title but not the Grand Slam.
If not I expect Ireland to win the title but not the Grand Slam.
Italy for the wooden spoon.
England to finish 3rd/4th.

France to win the 6 nations this year.

England have been decimated by injuries. Ireland are in the prcess of changing their old guard.
The only team that could cause them problems is Wales. But the French team will have the home advantage.

do we go to Paris or do the French com to us?

^Who's us

France play Scotland & Wales at home. They are away to England & Ireland. The England game is the French's last match.

Friday night rugby has turned out to be a great success.
The young England won a famous victory.

I loved all the game play. Were not going on the pitch until you do.

great victory

Wales were very unlucky tonight I thought but in saying that I didn't approve of their dirty pre match tactics by delaying the kick off time by refusing to come out of the tunnel when they should have. In many ways the Welsh got their just deserts as a consequence of this. All in all I thought England were second best but it's all about grinding the results out. Scotland kick off tomorrow away to France

Gutsy win from England tonight.
Started the second half with greater intensity and maintained it.
After an opening blitz by Wales the recovery from England in the opposition backyard is not to be underestimated.
An England squad decimated by injuries to key players showed their worth and have given Stuart Lancaster a very nice selection problem going forward.

Great win for England tonight, thought their second half performance was outstanding considering the injury problems they had.
