Saturday
1415 Wales v Ireland
1645 England vs Scotland
Sunday
1500 Italy vs France
All GMT for timezones, and what a feast again. Wales with new management, hoping against hope to at least give Ireland a scare. Ireland resting a couple of players even
An England side that have a bit of bounce after stealing a win vs France last week vs an underfiring Scottish side that have won this fixture the last 4 times. This one on paper is too close to call!
Then an Italian side at home vs France that is licking their wounds. A draw last year, will Italy go one better?
As always, predictions, reactions, and comments always appreciated. Happy six nations all
Predictions
Head: Ireland, cannot tell (my scottishness blinding me), France
Heart: Wales, Scotland, Italy
Arse: Ireland get an early 20 minute red leading to a welsh purple patch, but Ireland fight back to steal with a last minute drop goal. Scotland turn up out the gate and rock to a 15-0 lead by HT, 2nd half they disintegrate but hold on with a missed drop kick from a Smith. France continue like last week, dropping the ball every other play and Italy still manage to lose this one - a game that will haunt them for a few years
Your arse prediction’s starting to come good.
Porter should be off too!
