Default The Six Nations 2013

So just over a week to go to the first match, who do you think is going to win?. Got my predictions below. Probably slightly biased being English, but I think England are in with a very good chance if we play like we did against the All Blacks, not sure if we will get a Grand Slam but I think we will win it.

1) England
2) France
3) Wales
4) Ireland
5) Italy
6) Scotland

I have a feeling that Italy may take a scalp or two this year.

Bring it on!

Yep! George Hotel August 29th 1895 in Huddersfield, that's when the purer form was born.
That said I don't mind watching union at international level but it's too stop start for my linking.

Certainly did, had a feeling they may shock a team or two. They get better and better each year.

Hahahahaha 5k on Wales wooden spoon what a knobber how do you even have 5k making bets like that.

It has been a very good 6 nations this year very impressed.

Should be a good game today too. I think there will be little in it but Wales to win the game and England will still win the tournament.

Does anybody get rugby league? a team could win every game in the season then it goes to a play off system and a team who finishes 8th in the season and a lot less points could be champions-very strange!!!!

Football - a game played by men who aren't strong enough or skilled enough to play rugby.
