Couldn’t find a specific thread for this tournament.
Feyi-Wabosi ruled out of all games

Another year as a Scot saying this could be our year...

But it really feels like it could be this year...

Certainly better chance than England

For me:
France
Ireland
Scotland
England
Wales
Italy
France just better everywhere than anyone else
Ireland slightly declining from form if the last few years - and Farrell off on lions duties
Scotland to edge England for third- probably the team most likely to cause an upset
England to yet again to perform poorly- a team very much less than it’s constituent parts
Crunch time for Borthwick another poor 6N and the Rfu have surely got to think of change
Wales to edge out Italy - hopefully they’ve turned a corner and performances start to improve
Italy the whipping boys again - got a couple of star players but not enough quality elsewhere

Ultimately all I want is to see some open running exciting rugby

Can’t argue with most of that other than Italy over Wales. Borthwick will survive even if his new plan of playing players out of position fails much as it did with Jones.

Adam Jones to join Wales as forwards coach for the 6N

Pleased for Murley. Long overdue a place in the side.

Being Welsh, I was going to avoid this thread, but like a moth to a flame, I'm drawn in.

Wales are terrible and will be whitewashed. I hope Scotland win the championship, or France.

Being Welsh you’re probably an ok bloke. Shame your team isn’t

Italy are far better these days than people give them credit for. Increasingly many playing for French clubs now which can only help.

They won’t get the wooden spoon this year that’s for sure

Great debut by Murley

[Smollet]

Fortunately Ireland’s handling errors are balancing up England’s penalties

[Smollet]

Fat lady getting ready.

Aside from that early try Murley has had a fking shocker.

Yup

Do refs not look for forward passes anymore?

It would appear SH ones don’t

The best hope for wales now is that England have a complete shocker over the next couple of rounds (very possible), and it’s a complete dog fight in Cardiff. I could see them potentially winning that, but otherwise, I can’t see how they can beat Ireland or Scotland’.

I can see Italy getting their first win over England and Wales actually firing themselves up against us.

Make Mark Pougatch go away.

Agreed.

[Smollet]

Cowan-Dickie needs to practice his lineout throwing

[Smollet]

Outstanding by England. Never thought they had it in them

All those querying Daly’s inclusion will be eating humble pie. I’m on my third portion
