Ireland getting hosed.

22-0 and all France. Get Prendergast off - he is ****.

I said it about both, we are playing at a different speed to France , I fear a 40 point hammering and did all week when I thought about it.

Prendergast is so ****ing over rated it’s ridiculous, he can’t defend and waddles around the pitch. We are an old team without the depth to handle such an injury crisis.

I remember the halcyon days of recent years though

****ing hell. Prendergast is shocking at tackling. WTF was that on the second French try?

[Buzzo]

Interesting selection from us. Gregor pretty much picking with form.

Duhan and Kinghorn not in the 23!

Steyn and Dobie on the wings. Jordan at FB.

One thing tho 3 games on the spin before rest week means injury’s and squads will defo come into play.

[Irishnev]

You ready Nev?

I’m not. Not feeling it at all this year. Will depend if we bring Glasgow form or Edinburgh form.

You guys are decimated for early rounds.

I’ve decided we are getting an absolute hammering tonight, anything other than that will be a bonus

I sometimes feel like I’d love to watch the 6Ns as a neutral

It’s such a good tournament, but when youve got skin in the game (pasty Scot’s skin really) it hurts.

Fair enough, it’s the hope that kills too. Scotland looked fantastic at times last tournament, hope to see that again

I’m in edinburgh for the Scotland v England game actually, but haven’t got myself a ticket yet. Will happily watch it in a pub with a bunch of Scots, yelling at the English

[Buzzo]

That’s not going to go down well. Going to be like NFL. 100% guarantee they **** this up and miss some play.

As if we don't have enough adverts...

ITV to play adverts before scrums during Six Nations games

All fans watching England games will now see in-game adverts during breaks in play

I'm ready! Super excited, as an outsider, to follow this tournament again. Really hope the Scots and Irish go well, but you're right, it's hard to look past the English & French, sigh

[Buzzo]

Yeah England look good again, though I’m never sure they pick their best team. But the strength of their bench is now something to worry about.

I don’t think DVDM will get picked. Kyle Stetn is far superior to him as a rugby player. We do have some decent depth, everywhere except up front as per.

Yeah the only team capable of best beating the French is themselves. DuPont hasn’t been quite in cheat code mode since he returned from you lot trying to re-engineer his leg but it may take the 6NS to get him going.

Italy away first for us. No easy games anymore (except maybe the Welsh!).

Meh - we’ve won so many that it doesn’t interest me




Jokes aside, I think the tide is moving back to England, been saying it for a while that they’ll be the dominant side in GB&I. I’ll watch and hate all of ye each game but we are on a downward spiral. All the injuries means we need to good deep into reserves which is also good

France gone full nuts by dropping a few stalwarts as well and I saw DVDM on the wing at club level this weekend?

Glasgow coming back at HT from 0-21 to win 29-21 v Toulouse if some result. Toulouse fully loaded. DuPont starting etc.

That’s amazing! Stupid kids meant I missed that game, the one I wanted to watch, sigh
