just noticed that Bill McLaren died. loved his rugby commentary. RIP Bill.
He was awesome, any one remember his commentary on the jonah lomu rugby game. "aw its uncanny". Will be deeply missed.
as for the 6 nations well, i dont know how to call it this year. Im gonna stick my neck out and call it as Ireland winning the coveted trophy once again. But not a grand slam. I reckon they will go down in Paris.
I expect the French to put up the most resistence this year but with the French well you just never know. The biggest game for them is wales away in the middle of the campaign. A game I tip the Welsh to win.
England will be stronger this year and may upset the welsh next week, its worth an outside bet. I see the welsh having a poor-ish six nations this year based on what I saw from their forwards pack during the Autumn internationals. But a poor wales is still better than an average England team.
italy to become more competitive also, competitive but to finish bottom with the spoon with perhaps a shot at a win against the scots in rome.
Scotland i expect to have a poor season, 3 away fixtures including a banana skin in italy. However I do expect them to pull off a sneaky victory at murryfield against England.
