My bets one Ireland, but i hope England bounce back from their terrible world cup

Boy this came round quick... Here's for a surprise Italy Grand Slam

I mean, I don't even know why we compete in this tournaument, it's clear that our athletes aren't good enough, and I'm shure there are other countries that would love to join *hint hint Germany* and probably would perform better than us :v

Germany would be so much worse than Italy or Romania. Italy were improving for a long period of time during the 90's but they have remained stagnant in performance for the last decade.

Close today but France were just rubbish.

England not playing great either but should have the win cushy enough.

I don't think Ireland will do it. Think a huge RWC hangover awaits us (can be seen by the sluggishness of the provincial teams in the pro12) but maybe. Wales is the big match imo. If France and England play they way they have against Ireland, then Ireland should win those games.

But I am wrong so often...

A good first round, enjoyed them all, Italy played really well to almost beat France, England looked unsettled at the start but I think they will get better as they get used to their new system.
Good game Ireland v Wales, was hoping for an Ireland win but Wales hold em off well, roll on round 2.

Anyone got links to the highlights?

Thank you!!

Nope. 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and no points for losing. If there is a tie at the end of the competition then it goes to points difference then try's and so on until a winner is decided.

Yes after last years World Cup disaster where None of the 6 Nations even made it into the semi-finals you would think they would look at it, as it does reward attacking rugby, Something the southern countries do excell more at
