i praying ireland but it england still have a very strong team evryone is saying england are not great without wilkinson but hodgson is no lightweight ethier
and of course the french well with them it depends on which team turns up
latest betting from betfair
you can get ireland to do the grandslam at 8/1
Six Nations: Winner
England 15/8
France 15/8
Ireland 3/1
Wales 11/1
Scotland 250/1
Italy 1000/1
england have lost a couple of really crucial players. and lets face it, Ireland were hardly much worse than them even with the likes of johnson and wilkinson. England have got weaker, Ireland, if anything, are stronger. I'll go with ireland
I'd say the French...any chance of a poll ?
i think ireland will win, things are looking good, with the home games,, but u just don't know with the 6 nats, can be unpredictable, this will be the closest contest this year. lets hope we beat the 'world never hear the end of jonny's drop-goal champions again at least.
pour moi;
1 ireland
2 france
3 wales (go on the daffodils)
4 england
5 italy
6 scotland
Ok so england may have lost a few players and certainly aren't as physically imposing as they were a couple of seasons ago but will they really lose three games?
Personally I think not. Forget this pessimistic view of Ireland's chances this year as favourites(not according to the Bookies btw); England have to travel to Cardiff which will be difficult given Wales recent performances but remember that for all the while Wales played well they didn't beat either of the Souther Hemisphere teams.
If they beat England on Sat then they could do well enough, but personally I don't see them beating France in Paris.
I think all the teams will lose one. And I'm not sure that Ireland will lose their match at home. Possibly Cardiff. We were very lucky in Cardiff the last time and could be our undoing this year.
I think it will finish this way:
Ireland
England
France
Wales
Scotland
Italy
With England and France at home we'll won't have a better chance to win it.
It's between us and France
I think France. They have hard games at Twickenham & Lansdowne. Could win it in 3 way tie on points difference.
Vodafone are offering a FREE Six Nations text service for all eggchasers out there.
Details on their site, but you text 6nations to 51745.
I expect all sides to loose one game, ireland can win it this time, but its going to be very tricky !!
France were unbelievably poor today, expect half the team to be changed for England game...
Can't stand the Welsh (got sick of their pre tournament hype when had HTV & BBC Wales :eek: ) except when they playing England.
France were desperate. Scotland are no great shakes, but they deserved to win that game- only a monumental **** up by danieli at the end denied them a draw. Getting even more confident about Irelands chances now. If Wales could just get a result we'll be laughing
France dumping their kicker at end of first half & getting Traille to take very difficult long kick at goal sumed up Frances "performance".
I don't know what rugby equivalent of pub team player is but Scotlands Park is one for sure. Fluffed effort at drop goal from 10 metre line was laughable. :eek:
Ireland obviously. :D . They've just bet Scotland ;)Quote:

It does the heart good to see England performing like Norway during the 1970's at the Eurovision Song Contest.... NIL points. :p
well i hope to God we dont go into the England game as favourites now cos that has never suited us remember two years ago, having said that tho they are a lot worse now than the were then. and we are now ahead of them in the world rankings :)
i was at the scotland v ireland game, what a cracker! nearly crapped myself in the first 20 mins though! :D :D i predicted engeerlaand to come 4th, it's looking sweet so far!!! don't know how the english missed that drop-goal near the end, that would have won them the game!
