It would seem that tickets for games at HQ are available at the standard (but still very expensive) price. Don't ever remember that previously.

That's amazing, I don't think I've ever seen tickets available at this point for England v Scotland. They must be ballot tickets that have been returned as there were none available about two months ago. Shame I'm away that weekend or I would have gone.https://www.six-nations-guide.co.uk/tickets.html

Wales will have the roof closed this weekend. Ridiculous!
I’m not sure if it’s just a myth or not but I thought the opposing team chose roof on or off? Regardless, it’s not forecast to rain so keep it open otherwise it just ends up full of smoke from the pyro display. Cynic in me thinks the WRU like the ‘night time’ effect as it encourages drinking/spending and increased revenue

We do not want optimum conditions for ball handling against Ireland.

So… Predictions?
Or, to put it another way: Ireland or France?
The big dogs : Ireland and France Or, to put it another way: Ireland or France?
Not a lot between them and could go either way but Ireland have home advantage-
1st Ireland
2nd France
The also rans : England Scotland Wales
England start with probably the 2 weakest teams and with home advantage
Wales will be better under Gatland but he won’t have enough time to make big performance gains
Scotland will offer pretty much what they did last year
3rd England
4th Wales
5th Scotland
The whipping boys
6th Italy
So pretty much the same as last year
Italy went well in the autumn and may claim the scalp of one of the also rans ( probably Scotland) so there may be a reversal in the bottom 2
Hoping for the best for England but really have no idea if there will be much of an improvement in such a short time - although I felt that Eddie had taken them as far as he could and they’d stagnated since the last World Cup so a change was needed
Just hoping to see some decent rugby from them rather than the lacklustre performances of late
I’ve gone for the brave option at the bookies: wales to win tournament (13-1)
Whilst Ireland and France are the standout teams we have some excellent players and our regions in recent weeks have had some very good results against the big European teams, maybe a little form and fitness at the exact right time? However, the trump card for me is the Gatland factor, he will get a very big reaction from them.
I’ve always seen wales as greater than their sum of parts and a win over Ireland in the first round will be a massive springboard for the rest of the games. Just remember, in recent history we’ve been continually overlooked but 6 x 6N winners including 3 x grand slams says something else.
Ever the optimist

there's optimistic and then there's more recent history Whilst Ireland and France are the standout teams we have some excellent players and our regions in recent weeks have had some very good results against the big European teams, maybe a little form and fitness at the exact right time?

What is surprising is only getting 13-1
