I have to admit I prefer League to Union - feel that it flows a bit better and is easier on the eye without the 30 man 'bundles' you can get in union!!  Reckon six nations is gonna be close between us and France - hoping we can just edge it!!  |

It should be good. I think that England will hammer Wales tomorrow by a margin of at least 20. I think England have a decent chance of a slam.
Wales were fortunate in the first game last year, and had Charlie not kicked abysmally against the frogs, England would have been so far ahead by half time that the French come back would have been in vain. Then there was the disgraceful reffing in the Ireland game... All in all, had things gone slightly differently, England would have won the slam last year. They have a better team now, so should do well.

England are on a rise, Wales on a slump. The main team to look out for will be France - I think the battle of the packs is going to be all important, which is why I think Wales won't win. That said, Wales will probably take an early lead so it will be all about keeping a cool head (from an England perspective).
Hopefully other teams have peaked too soon for the world cup as well, I feel England have loads more to offer and are only just starting to play like they know they can.

As long as England don't lose to Scotland I couldn't really care less who wins.

They should beat Italy, and I reckon they have a decent chance of turning over Wales and Ireland. They just need to give the ball to Patterson at every opportunity... and bring back Danielli! The England Scotland game was great last year, though it is very difficult to imagine Scotland beating them this year. I don't think that you have much to worry about. |

I think that is definitely the case with New Zealand. Tana Umaga retiring is a huge blow... and McCaw's concussions are worrying. Without those two, their all conquering team suddenly looks rather beatable. I'm worried about the French though. |

The team to beat in my opinion and will be a threat for some years. |

The Kiwis do a hell of a good job at peaking between World Cups :-))( |

I don't particularly like cricket, but I endure posts about it. I don't like wrestling, but there was a monster thread about it. I'm not particularly interested in American Football either. I let other people get on with it, leave us alone  |
