Six Nations Rugby

[emmie]

will you be watching, and if so who is your money on..

[bibblebub]

Wales, England, France

[emmie]

all three, no outright choice?

[Mattk]

Never been a fan but don't see why such a big deal is made of the 6 nations. It is an annual event and for me suffers from overexposure. It should become every other year or maybe every four years as with other major sporting events.

[brionon]

I'm English but I support Wales.

[mallyh]

yes putting the george flag up tomorrow ,hope they show england matches on main tv

[ChillDoubt]

I most certainly will.
My usual quiet confidence in the Welsh team is somewhat tempered for this campaign. A team decimated by injuries and no Gatland have left me somewhat downcast that we're not going to be able to defend our trophies.
Ireland too are on a string of defeats but have their mainstayer's fit, plus the return of BOD will gee them up a bit.
Italy will doubtless build on their recent successes and seem to improve year on year, to the point where they are no longer the whipping boys and may take more than one scalp in this campaign.
Scotland are in transition and many of their team will be keen to impress a new man at the helm, so who knows?
As ever, it is always dependent on 'which French team turns up', but they have Dusautoir fit again, which is good news for them.
England will miss Tuilagi for the first game but their recent form and THAT win against the AB's in the autumn sees them as firm favourites IMHO, though I don't see an outright Grand Slam winner.
Hope I'm wrong and that the men in red can galvanise themselves, of course!

Cymru Am Byth.

...not sure yet. I'll have to have a little think about that.

Sorry, em10, I was just considering this weekend's matches. I'll plump for England as tournament winners.

mallyh - BBC Sport will have live and exclusive coverage of the Six Nations http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/16658830 so all England games are on BBC1/HD.

[Wharton]

Yes
Scotland
Slainte

[mallyh]

oh thanks bibblebub lovely x

[emmie]

England for me,
matt, if doesn't get anywhere near the coverage that footie gets, and that does my head in

[ichkeria]

Ireland aren't on a string of defeats as a matter of fact. Last match was a record thrashing of Argentina.
Anyway, I'm delighted it's back. Over-exposed? When just about every game is a sell-out? I think not.
Seo libh canaibh amhran na bhfiann!

[DTCwordfan]

England by 20, Ireland by 8 and France by 9

[ChillDoubt]

I was referring to the 4 losses and monumental kicking at the hands of the AB's previous to that, ichkeria.

[MadMen]

Yes! Cannot wait for kick off.
My heart says Wales but I reckon France will win. I'm hopeful for Ireland though as they've got two home games which is a big advantage. I'm so nervous for today's match. Cymru Am Byth!!

[Wharton]

You're going to regret getting that 'Best Answer' award mallyh :-)

[Gavmacp]

Support Scotland but will not be watching. Far to many years of hearing how they are improving!!!!!

[DaisyNonna]

[Wharton]
