Six Nations time. Really hopeful of a win for Wales tonight to kick the tournament off, and Ireland v England tomorrow should be a cracker.

Can't wait for 8pm and the start of it all.

 

[Tredman]

Proper excited. Looking forward to tonight's game too.

Think England will probably lose tomorrow, but as long as we make a good fist of it that will be enough.

Edit - got a sneaking suspicion we will see good France today, sorry Paddy.

Can’t see England winning tomorrow either I’d give Ireland a 6 point handicap and expect them to win. But I don’t think there will be a grand slam anywhere. Gut feeling is England, Wales and Ireland will win 4 lose 1.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Would agree with you there three of them getting 4 wins each

 

[jd1981]

Yep think it’s as open as it’s ever been, Scotland and France have the ability to take points of sides. I’m worried about Scotland at Twickenham haven’t won there since 1983 could be their year to break the hoodoo.
But that’s the beauty of this year you just don’t know.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We just never know with France. Either awesome or abject.

In my view we are the better side, but who knows. Proper excited though.

 

[BillyDee]

That France jersey is fucking horrendous.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Eddie Butler is such a bell.

Kick off goes straight to Picamoles. "Not for the first time tonight, Picamoles is the ball carrier"

Err, well Eddie it actually is the first time you colossal imbecile.

 

[Tredman]

Ropey scrum bingo penalty for Wales.

 

[BillyDee]

Far too easy.

 

[Tredman]

Lovely try for France.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bloody good start by the French. Their pack is MASSIVE.

 

[Tredman]

No way that pack can keep.this energy level up though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bonus that they missed the conversion but need to get some ball and territory to get into the game.

 

[Johnny75]

2 misses out of 2. Welsh lucky not to be 10pts down

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wales also miss a penalty. Should have gone for the corner as it was fucking miles out.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Christ Wales are SO sloppy. It's awful.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Great try by Liam Williams. Bit lucky it is pissing down so he could slide over.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Tell a lie - knock on

 

[Nando]

Should have been offered far more support in that position. Wasteful.
