Six Nations
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!

I'm going to the France match this weekend. I am the most hopeful i have been in years. We have a settled team with the best back row in the competition. Bit shocked that Paterson has been benched as it shows the confidence of the management when you can drop the best goalkicker in the world. With France and England at home this could well be our year.
Good luck wales also!

I hope England beat the Ospreys . . . sorry, Wales. Always found the Welsh to be a shite bunch of fans in both footy and rugby.

The Welsh are OK in my book. Whenever i've been down in Cardiff it's been cool. Same can be said about when i lived in London but thats not the point! C'mon Wales!

This is pish. Italy are the punching-bag of the 6N and we really should be racking up the points difference - look what happened last year!
Hopefully it finishes at least 20-3

Defo m8.
So far I'm up on the Handicap bets - Italy with 15 points was a gimmie in my book, Wales with 14 likewise
France -5 I reckon is another cert tomorrow. With the best will in the world and I am a Scot, but the French are a class apart.

Well it's a win thankfully for Ireland but boy you can see the team is totally lacking confidence and that was a big factor today I think in the game ending as close at 16-11 as it did.
To be honest I actually though we were pretty good in the first half. Unlike as said above Italy are no whipping boys anymore. Yes they are still arguably the weakest country in the 6 nations but their 2-3 showing last season showed they are at least competitive now and capable of beating the other 6 nations sides on their day. So I was quite pleased with our first half but after that early Dempsy try we just couldn't put them away and you could just see the nerves and lack of confidnce slip away in the second half after all the missed chances in the first half. But at least we won.
On the up up side how about that second half collapse by England. Was that beautiful to see or what. Crusing at 19-6 and they end up losing 26-19 just brilliant. well done Wales.
Now come on Alba amarach and make it a Celtic treble to start the 6 nations

Austin Healy was on Soccer Am on Saturday and he's as insufferable as ever
"All the Celtic nations think we are arrogant,It's not arrogance we are just better than them at everything we do"
Good man Austin and i'd be getting my money back from yon hair transplant people too..
Ireland just look tired.Too many average players...Rory Best was awful as per....Flannery is a big loss...Trimble looks out of his depth even tho he had to move to inside ctr..
Really have ta up for it Paris even tho the French were average enough yesterday
