6 Nations Thread

Matt the Thrasher · 02-02-2007, 09:55 AM

The 6 Nations starts this weekend.

This weekends fixtures

SAT
Italy v France (Rome 13:30)

England v Scotland (Twickenham) 16:00

Sun
Wales v Ireland (Cardiff) 15:00

3 home wins this week for me,I think Italy will shock the French ,England to edge Scotland and Wales to beat Ireland, the Irish have a great record in Cardiff but they go into this 6 nations as favourites which is something they are never comfortable with.

Ireland will be playing their home matches at Croke Park , a magnificant stadium with a capacity of 82,000 all seated after the GAA finaly realised this is the 21st centuary and changed their stance against "British" sports , so the atmosphere at those games should be fantastic.

hopefully england rugby can regain some pride for england and destroy all teams in the tournament.

Stiles · 02-02-2007, 01:20 PM

I cant see a Italian victory over France im afraid. I would be intrested to see the atmosphere at this new ground. Lansdown road had a magnificent atmospehere.

Irish will fail this year. I cant see past France winning.

Matt the Thrasher · 02-02-2007, 01:32 PM

I agree about Ireland I think starting as favourites will be a disaster for them ,I think Wales may win it though it could be a 4 way tie.

aisuru · 02-02-2007, 01:52 PM

SCOTLAND WILL DESTROY ALL! GRAND-SLAM! CALCUTTA CUP! 100% WIN RATE!

( and then i shall wake up, realise it's all been a lovely dream, and be bitterly disappointed. )

Ireland to win

Matt the Thrasher · 02-03-2007, 02:34 PM

Half time in Rome
Italy 3-22 France

Looks like another great prediction.

Matt the Thrasher · 02-04-2007, 09:30 AM

27 points for Jonny Wilkinson ( though that was never a try) and Andy Robinson was saying he wouldn't have picked him ,I think that speaks volumes.

Stiles · 02-05-2007, 07:10 PM

Irish, French and English wins this week.

England vs Italy this weekend.

Scotland vs Wales

Ireland vs France

goldenHuddlestone · 02-08-2007, 02:38 PM

Moody's out for England. Key player

Misterpeng CFC · 02-09-2007, 03:04 PM

England win, Wales win and a toughy with the Irish and French game! ill go for Ireland!

Matt the Thrasher · 02-09-2007, 04:55 PM

England to win easily I think, but Scotland may beat Wales they are much stronger at Murrayfield than on the road, Ireland v France is a tough one to call but home advantage could just see Ireland home, if O'Driscoll is unfit it will be a massive blow he's such a talisman for them and it's just possible that the emotion of the occasion (playing at Croke Park) may just get the better off them.

My predictions

England by at least 20 points
Scotland by 5-10 points
Ireland to sneak home by 3-5 points.

goldenHuddlestone · 02-10-2007, 10:02 PM

England win

Scotland win

Stiles · 02-11-2007, 02:07 AM

Im surprised at the Welsh result. Happy. But surprised.

Matt the Thrasher · 02-11-2007, 05:21 PM

France beat Ireland 20 - 17 with a last minute try, looks like another grand slam for the French this year

ferenc · 02-12-2007, 10:04 AM

Italy win
England win
Irish win

goldenHuddlestone · 02-15-2007, 02:05 PM

now a nice little break

Matt the Thrasher · 02-23-2007, 11:03 AM

Tomorrows fixtures:

Scotland v Italy (Murrayfield ) 15:00

Ireland v England ( Croke Park) 17:30

France v Italy (Stade de France) 20:00

Scotand to beat Italy by 10-15 points

O'Driscoll is back for Ireland and Robinson is out for England with Wilkinson also doubtful but I have a feeling England will sneak it.

I expect a much improved performance from the Welsh but France will still be too good for them

goldenHuddlestone · 02-24-2007, 12:15 PM

Wilkinson is playing now

Matt the Thrasher · 02-24-2007, 04:55 PM

Scotland 17-37 Italy

Well done to Italy first away win in the 6 nations

aisuru · 02-24-2007, 06:55 PM

too many attempts to get tries by Scotland. we should have gone for the easy points - not incredibly exciting rugby, but with an Italian defence like that, who would have cared?

Matt the Thrasher · 02-24-2007, 07:36 PM

Ireland 43-13 England

I know Ireland were favourites but the margin of the victory will raise a few eyebrows.

Matt the Thrasher · 02-26-2007, 01:22 PM

France 32 - 21 Wales

As expected a much improved perfomance from the Welsh , they led for a long time but France were just too good for them in the end.

goldenHuddlestone · 02-26-2007, 09:50 PM

Ireland to win WC now

Matt the Thrasher · 02-27-2007, 09:36 AM

I don't know about that I think Ireland are the best side in europe at the moment ,despite that loss to France but New Zealand are far and away the best team in the world and are massive favourites for the world cup ,although I think home advantage could prove decisive and I think France will win it
