R B S 6 Nations: Starts Tomorrow
26 Answers
Here we are then, the eve of the start of the RBS 6 Nations and we start against the team everybody wnats to beat.
It should be a great game but I would guard against too much hyperbole against a depleted England team. The pressure is off England, to the point where Wales are clear favourites, a position I dislike being in.
My rationale? Lancaster and Robshaw can gather their troops and say "Look boys, most of us here are the second-stringers and late replacements, more the possibles than the probables. We're not expected to win so let's go out there, chuck it about a bit, play with flair and abandon and see how it goes?".
It'd certainly be my mindset, were I in the position they're in squad-wise.
Give us a spectacle please, a game to be enjoyed, with no quarter asked nor given and may the best team win.

Chill Boy do I look forward to the 6 Nations. My wife becomes a rugby widow however. I hate the England/ Wales fixture. My loyalties are divided as I am half Welsh but born in England. England gave me my work, home and family so I have to wear the white shirt on the day. My youngest son( 32yrs) has almost been disowned by our Swansea clan due to his rants when Wales beat...
