six nations

The posts are getting seriously heavy. Now an IMPORTANT question. What about the rugby six nations? France are favourites across the board, my lot only have Italy lower on bookie's boards. Who is going to win? How? Please give reasons rather than advance hurrahs!

motorbikes eh - great fun but nothing but trouble when it all goes pear shaped. I managed to get up and about in  months only to smash myself up again!!!

Italy will soon be up there with the other 5 nations, a few more years of their players playing elsewhere in europe and ...!

et vive le vélo ;-)

hey, everybody, whatever our allegiances wouldn't it be great if the Italians surprised everybody and walked it. That would liven the 'old firms' attitudes up and ensure the French and English would really talent scout for future line ups because of the utter humiliation. I shall nonetheless support my thistles...

yes it would but as I said above, it'll take a few years more yet but they're definitely getting there

Nope, don't like the Italians, their play, their attitude.... Wales it is and stays since SA isn't in the tournament

Yeah, reckon they are in with a shout but to split hairs to say which of four it could easiest be requires supernational powers. The Italian bit was about using shock tactics to stimulating the game back to the way it really roared a bit over a deace ago. The effect was that more countries began to play and the prelims for the next World Cup will look interesting for sure which could make it a real world sport in a while. For that it needs a few more really great players and a couple of teams who wipe the board internationally. The Italian play is still sloppy, but they are getting there and there are too many of them playing in other countries now at top level for them not to pick up in a while which will shock the other five when they get full broadside. You do not need to like them to know that.

Agree there Brian, it would only take a couple of victories over the others, and there is nothing like confidence in the game.
