That time of year again. Look away if you don't want to know the table at the end of the championship but this is how it will be:
(1) France
(2) Wales
(3) Ireland
(4) England
(5) Scotland
(6) Italy
I don't see any great teams this year though and don't expect anybody to win a grand slam.

Ireland have a good chance as they arent telling everybody how great they are this year, just getting on with it

Wales
France
Ireland

No grand slam tho.
I am at Twickenham on Saturday, by the way. Should be a great day out, lots and lots of beer will be drunk. Shame most of the bars will be serving London pride or some other tosh that they class as great ale down here.

I agree, Wales look good.
TBH, I always enjoy watching Wales play Rugby.

Looks like its Ireland and Wales for the championship on the weekends performance although France are capable of anything.
Wales are weary of England as they can on the day beat anybody but as it stands now they might get a hiding 
I honestly thought that Italy had a secret plan playing a flanker at scrum half but it quickly became obvious that it was a ridiculous decision. Someone said on BBC Wales last night that its a shame that Mallet and Bergemaso who are legends in their own right will now be remembered for an absolutely ludicrous decision. That also did England no favours as they looked terrible, just capitalised on Italys poor play which shouldnt happen at International level.
Game of the weekend was Ireland France and Ireland look good. Scotland were bad but also not allowed to play and the team selection on hindsight was dreadful.
