6 Nations (Rugby)

by sol • 7 Feb 2009, 13:21 • Journals
The 6 Nations kicks off today with England vs Italy at 15:00 CET followed by Ireland vs France at 18:00 CET.

For those of you with an interest in rugby; what are your predictions for the matches, and for the tournament itself?

For those of you who don't know much about rugby then I recommend checking out the games here, it's a really good spectator sport and the games today should be good, particularly Ireland vs France.

I'm going to go with England beating Italy, but not by as much as they should, and Ireland to edge France.

I thought it was accidently that there was an ET 6 nations cup now but it seems the tournament is now too:)

probably england, france & wales will win (based on my little knowledge of rugby)

England to beat Italy but i think its going to be a close game seeing as Italy are really starting to get their act to gether

France are going to fuckin slap Ireland BADLY, Ireland just aren't good enough for France tbh, the only thing Ireland have on France are the crowd which is a cunt to play against

Wales are going to beat Scotland if we dont let them play expansive rugby and if we pile on the pressure from the start

France to win the Grandslam i cant see anybody beating them :O)
Wales 2nd
England 3rd
Ireland 4th
Italy / Scotland 5/6 maybe Ireland :D

COME ON CYMRU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wales

Got that badly wrong with Ireland vs France didn't you:P
England were terrible playing against a side who gifted them 4 tries.
I know i might be biased, but that was a stunning game of rugby in Dublin today, both teams played some amazing attacking rugby.

idd, i thought that france were going to kill ireland, but i suppose they just tried to play the game too unsafe instead of going for the win in the second half
still, i loved the game as well ;D

It was a great game:) If France kept on throwing the ball around and running from everywhere in the second half like the first, I don't know if the scramble defense would have held out, but 1st win in 7 years against them, i'll take it:D

Owzo 7 Feb 2009, 19:26

Mayni 7 Feb 2009, 15:37
England will win today, as will france, although that wont be that easy for them.

Overall:
1st. France
2nd Wales/England

although i reckon any of those 3 could take it, depends how it goes. We've got a better cahnce than could be, due to having 3/5 games at home!

England should have Italy, but from the last time I saw England play, it won't be a big win. Haven't seen much of Ireland since the world cup / last 6 nations and they were poor then, since Irelands highlight in rugby in 2006 I think? They've had a huge drop. France should take them pretty easily as they always keep a decent team.

Can't believe England gave away a tri :D, France v Ireland is a good match atm.

cadea 8 Feb 2009, 03:12
After todays matches, Wales should still be favourites, but imo France can still win there next 3 games, there will be no Grand Slam this year, Ireland have been written off but we have a proper coach now, it will be an interesting tourney:)
