Six Nations score predictions,,,

[coasty]

Well in the interest of friendly banter I hereby offer my weekend score prediction,,

England will beat Wales 15 to 9 in a hard fought battle
Ireland will beat Italy by a short head despite Italy giving them an early scare..15 to 12
Scotland will lose to France in a close game they will lead at half time but France will get their act together and take the lead in the last quarter 9 points to 12.

Anyone else got a prediction ????

Cmon Doug dont dissapoint me,,,

[The Black Rabbit]

Aw go on then Andy...

Ireland to beat Italy, by around 15pts.
England(shire!) to beat Wales by about 20pts.

And... Hmmmmm....
As soon as we bring Chris.P. on, we may JUST beat France, by about 5 pts.

(I fear for us now though, like I said, on the original 6 nations thread, after reading Haddens first XV picks).

Very well played Wales; back to the drawing board England !

Very much a game of two halves with only one side determined to play for 80 minutes.

What a classic piece of rugby which lead to Ireland's first try against Italy and I thought England were going to follow suit in the first half against Wales!

[galanthus]

Well, I can see that certain english people are bad losers

My other half came home, threw my welsh flag outside through the french windows and when I went out to retrieve it he locked me out in the garden shameful !! Got my revenge tho, it's on his log cabin balcony

I've got to say I've NEVER seen a more ridiculous game of rugby in my life.
And I've never seen England play so appallingly badly.
Complete capitulation from England, terrible decision making, horrible loopy passes to no-one, awful kicks (which were duly charged down), a complete lack of ambition and a total and utter panicky loss of steady heads.
Rudderless, leaderless - I'll give you any cliche you want!

Here's another.
Wales didn't win that game.
England lost it. They handed the game to England.

I don't agree that Wales played well. I apologise for that view in advance.
I think we (Scotland) would have beaten England today, I think Italy would have beaten England. I think Reading 2nd XV would have beaten England.

That all said, Waled DID hang on in there, and DID beat England (the overwhelming favourites) AT Twickenham - for the first time in twenty years.
They certainly "deserved" to win. Well, at least, if England had won, it would have been a calamity for the game, playing like that.

My fiancee is Welsh, so I can celebrate tonight!

I can only hope England do the same at Murrayfield in a few weeks time, though I suspect they simply won't be allowed to. Every player will have a rocket up his ..... this evening, and rightly so.

I'll walk away now, with a wry smile on my face (I do like it when England lose, even if I predicted a heavy English victory!).
More than that though, I'll walk away, shaking my head in utter disbelief, uttering the words "EH?", "HUH?" and "COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS!" over and over again...

I have NO IDEA what our game tomorrow will bring now.
Maybe a 0-0 draw?
Anythings possible after what happened today!

Oh dear ... This evening is a time when I fear mi mate Doug has the opportunity to twist the knife and worse I fear that Scotland even in defeat can not play as miserably as England did today,,,

How could they throw the game as they Did,,,

I've only see one team play worse than that in all my years of five and six nations watching pal. Us (Scotland) against Italy, when we handed them THREE tries in as many minutes last year, and then chose to not kick any of our penalties for the rest of the game, eventually losing by 20 points.
Other than that, you are right - a miserable display from the cough cough "World Cup Finalists" yesterday.
I'd not worry though Andy - England cannot possibly play that badly again can they?
CAN THEY?!

(oh, in my post above yours Andy, I should have said : ENGLAND HANDED THE GAME TO WALES (NOT ENGLAND of course!!) - must have been the beer...

Hello Doug I love rugby used to play for the school and for my regiment when I was in the army that game today by Scotland was Pathetic they started off well then as usual they just collapsedas normal dont know what Hadden was upto leaving Paterson on the bench and playing Parks they know he cant kick goals they just never learn last year and upto the RWC they looked great but have reverted back to type,like you say they can only get better surely they cant get worse
