Can I just be the first to wish Ireland all the best for the upcoming Six Nations. For once we're not one of the "favourites", but I have a feeling we could cause a surprise. Eddie O'Sullivan doesn't help things by keeping practically the same team that was destroyed by France and Argentina in the World Cup - leaving Jackman and Heaslip out is a disgrace as they've been on fire for Leinster this season, especially seen as Best and Easterby have been shite this season for their respective clubs.
Scotland are being tipped as many people's dark horses. Their match with France at Murrayfield on Sunday will reveal a lot about both teams' chances.
Anyway, I have tickets for the Ireland-Wales match at Croke Park. Can't wait!
