(terryw @ Feb. 07 2009,15:17) England have by far the youngest team in the tournament with players being given the chance to prove themselves for the 2011 World Cup.

Looking at the Irish team half of them will be eligible for a pension in 2011.

Maybe because you have a nation of 50 odd million to pick from & We are a nation of about 5 million, We dont have any depth in the game  

Being a brit seamus that is fecking good point you just raised mate

Week 2 and whatever the play is like on the field its good to see that the level of banter on the forum remains at high level

So Ireland should hammer Italy out opf sight while the auld alliance match should go France's way although its not beyond the Scots to pull a shock - it all depends on which mind set they have when they turn up.

That leaves us Wales v England

Patriotism says England but I just can't see it myself as the Welsh played at a much higher level last week and theres some heavy rivallry to add spice to this meeting.

So I reckon

Ireland
France
Walengland - just couldn't do it

[jb8]

Ireland
Scotland
Wales

[bigmick22]

Ireland 38 - Italy 9

Not a great game apparently but the right result

[seamus]

You mean you didnt watch it
Just hope we play better against England

[marshal]

cheeky little fecker. It was a good game, and i hope you lose against england, but not likely! Well with out a doubt it will be between Wales and Ireland for the title!

I'm at Lake Titticaca in Peru - strangely, the locals have little interest in the Irish rugby team

[jb8]

He said Titticaca used to crack us up as kids, i know we were probably simple kids!

I haven't had any luck finding the matches on TV here in the U.S. but Go Ireland I really want to watch and see what it's all about.

So thanks to the forsight of the 6 Nations Committee this is the last weekend until the 14/15 March of rugby action. This coincides with a trip for me to North Africa to explain that steel frames do not collapse due to the will of Allah but due to useless tossers not following the engineering drawings

However:

Wales travel to France in what could be the match of the championship and I am bottling a prediction on this one.

Scotland should record a win over Italy

Then England go to Dublin! Heart wants to say England but unless they are on four Weetabix a day I reckon the odds favour  

Off now to polish me prayer mat

[allstar88]

wales to win
scotland to win
ireland to win

[andre459]

I agree Allstar

I can't see England beating Ireland at Croke Park they got thumped last time. England are still searching for a flyhalf.

Joneses over France.

Scotland over Italy.

The Wales V Ireland game on the 21/3 should be a cracker.
