I hope Wales, England and Ireland all win this weekend to set up a wonderful final weekend of the 6 Nations.

Manchester United saw this and decided to create an even bigger miracle in France this week.
I can understand that. I think it works better because south africa is closer to our times for kick offs. It would also encourage the development of the pacific island teams as clubs and then possibly translate into countries. It could work well.
Ireland are u20 6N champions after beating France 31-29. These games have been really enjoyable to watch, end to end and nailbiting stuff.
6N: Scotland vs Wales, England vs Italy
I'm going to be busy most of today so here are yer threadmarks @ivaldo

Good man!Hopefully England don't have any issues understanding what constitutes a ruck against Italy like they did two years ago.
Can’t see Wales not winning, but hopefully no BP
That way if England get one they’d be a point behind with Scotland to play and Wales playing Ireland
Was looking this morning and unless there was some rule I was missing re the grand slam, it goes points, points difference, tries.
So theoretically Wales could win all five games and lose on its difference to bonus points

you get three points for the slam, i think
Last night Sale beat Leicester 32-5 at the AJ Bell and only one shot at goal was successful for the match. Rare to say that abut a match where 7 tries were scored and one penalty goal was attempted and missed by Faf De Klerk of Sale.
Correct.
What a find Josh Adams is.
Ta. Didn’t see that on the website.
Wales so clinical
It's the patience I love from us in these opportunities, no mistakes when we have an opponent pinned back, just keep looking for the kill.
Gone to shit since I posted this
Scotland have been great second half, gonna be a cracking finish to this
I hope Carty gets more than 2 mins run-out today. He's unlikely to push ahead of Carbery, due to his versatility, but he has a great opportunity to cement his position ahead of Ross Byrne.
There's much internet gnashing of teeth about Tadhg Beirne missing out again. Is there any logical explanation for it, bar that he's in a straight shootout with Henderson who's the man in possession for now?

Right so if Wales and England finish on 20 points each, what's the tie-breaker?
Cheers. Well, it's in Wales best interest to beat Ireland scoring 4 tries next week then as England would the 6 nations if it came down to points differential. It'd also be somewhat embarrassing for Wales if they achieve a grand slam but no championship.
They factor this in by awarding a bonus 3pts for grand slam
Just came across a tweet from Ben Kay outlining this. Eddie Jones has already had a bit to say about the Calcutta Cup match at Twickenham next Saturday by calling it Scotland's World Cup Final.
Think he is massively overestimating us. If it were at Murrayfield then yes, we would be capable of a WC final performance. At Twickenham? We get mentally defeated as soon as we cross the border into England. Think you would have to go back to when Townsend was actually playing for Scotland to when we last came close down there. And believe me, I take no joy from saying this.
The Chiefs are so bad that it's actually hilarious. It's one of the rare times where a team has zero qualities.
There's a fair chance they'll be 0-6 in a couple of weeks. Any team in the comp would have been smashed by the Crusaders on Saturday to be fair.
But not every team can be smashed by the Sunwolves. The Chiefs are woeful, it doesn't help when good players have the tendency to leave for other Kiwi franchise while the coach is bad.
Yet again Ireland have to make a late change, Larmour in for Kearney.
Not a bad change with the WC on the horizon though. Huge opportunity for him.

Jaysus, Irish band, take it easy on the French anthem there
Good start Ireland
It's going to be a long game for France.
@unchanged_lineup if you don't let us have the ball, we are going home!
This is going to plan for Ireland. Could have already easily had the bonus point in the bag.
Gonna have to spoiler this one... Healy vs Poirot's knee while trying that sneaky dive for a try.
Delighted to see Carty getting 20mins in this match
Relegation for the Six Nations is a good idea.
Argentina would be a better shout than Italy alright.
If Wales win next week (big if I know) they’d obviously deserve to win the GS but it reminds me of 2017 England, winning games and winning championships but you feel a lose is right round the corner.
Unpopular opinion but for me it would be one of the weaker GS win in recent history. Unlike Ireland last year which felt like a dominant championship win cause they at point so far ahead of everyone else.
