Come on Cymru! Easiest valentines day ever this year, take the girlfriend out to watch us trample England, and get utterly smashed in the process.

Can't believe it's been just over 5 years since we won the World Cup. 2003 was a superb year for English rugby. Grand Slam in the Six Nations and World Champions. It's all been downhill since there really, although we had some cracking matches in the 2007 World Cup.

It's the start of a new era for England really, so I'm not expecting loads, as long as we put in a good performance and give it our all. Obviously would love to beat the others, France the most, but not overly fussed. More about getting a good team together over the next few seasons in preparation for the World Cup.

Agree entirely with this.
Not giving Shaun Edwards a position in the England coaching set-up was one of the most dumbass, snobbish things the RFU have ever done.

Big game for Scots/Welsh today. Lose this and it's all uphill. No triple crown, no grand slam.

Its a massive game, Wales dont do well in Murrayfield and the Scottish have been getting better.

Yes it is. I'm a tool. I should have said "this weekend" or to americanize it, "this round".


Added to that, I've just noticed I spelt Rugby, as Rubgy.

Cards on table:

England to win and win quite comfortably if not by a wide score margin.

(Then everyone will get carried away, as usual, and proclaim the start of a new revivial....)

Just a few minutes until kickoff. A day on the couch awaits, its gonna be great!

Ireland to finally win it all, Wales to fall way back and Italy to win more than one game.
