[welshgit]

didnt newcastle casino have the telly on the right of the tables ???

I think Ireland's 6 nations will hinges alot on todays game. They need to get off to a good start or the season could just fade away. Wales go in a favorites but hard to call who will come out on top this year

[scotlady]

Well I'm sorted, got cuppa here, bowl of soup & some bread. All set now woohoo.

I updated the first post with teams

[stepgen]

It would be great if Fnny could add his thoughts on te 6 Nations seeing as he plays with and against most involved week in week out

[welshgit]

OK THE UNBIASED REPORT ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE SIX NATIONS

ENGLAND PLAYED LIKE A BUNCH OF SCHOOLKIDS BUT SOMEHOW ENDED UP AGAINST AN ITALIAN SIDE THAT COULDNT DO ANYTHING EXCEPT MAKE MISSTAKES .
HOW COULD THAY LEAVE THAT BLOODY NUTTER AT NUMBER 9 FFS - THEY GAVE THE GAME AWAY

ENGLAND REALY DID LOOK CRAP + EVEN THE ENGLISH COMENTATORS AGREED .
-------------------

FRANCE / IRELAND

NOW THAT WAS WORTH WATCHING - EVEN MADE ME LATE FOR WORK LOL

BOTH SIDES CAN ONLY GET BETTER .

SO UNTIL I SEE WALES / SCOTLAND TOMOROW I AM BACKING IRELAND FOR THE GRAND SLAM (MIGHT CHANGE MY MIND TOMOROW LOL )
