Round 4 and it could be decided today!

Italy vs Scotland

Damp squib? Never in this fixture! The Italians always show up, and they’re hungry. But the scots need a bonus point to keep any hope alive, one that has been elusive so far

England vs Ireland

England at home was a force to be feared. Not under Borthwick however. Ireland keeping the grand slam hopes alive today

Wales vs France

Can a misfiring french team beat a struggling Welsh one? Always a classic of running rugby this fixture, miss at your peril!

Head, heart, and arse in the comments before kick offs! Anyone off to a stadium today?

    As an impartial viewer, this was the best weekend of this 6N so far in my opinion.

    Well done Italy and England.

    I’m off to see England v Ireland at Twickenham. Might have to leave at half time, I reckon!

    UPDATE: did not leave at half time.

    Just got photobombed at Stadio Olympico. Some Italian dude stuck his head between my Dad and I.

    I think Murrayfield needs an MC btw

    Head: all away wins

    Heart: eww, I want England to win, feels dirty

    Arse: France truly implode giving away a bonus point before half time, and England get booed off at full time, cut to an Eddie Jones smiling from ear to ear

      I reckon Eng v Ire might be closer than people think. Ireland thrive off dominant carries and quick ball, and despite our shit handling the one thing we’ve been good at is knocking teams in possession backwards.

      Our scramble defence is shite at the moment though, which is where I think things might fall apart. But if we can shithouse a couple of maul tries and only let them through the main line a couple of times, we might manage it.

          Repeat it a few times and then you can rightly feel smug.

          Ha you called it. Still raging at Conor Murray and his poxy box kicking. Entertaining game but we should have saw it out

      My wife’s English and I was the sole person in my scottish local supporting them during the semis. I am praying they can do a number on Ireland because Scotland are physically incapable of it.

      I’m expecting Away, Away, Coin toss

      I’m hoping for Home, Home, Away.

      Every time Italy are playing I’m backing them all the way, except when they play England and even then I want them to do well. Basically I want to shut up all the “Italy aren’t good enough to be in the competition” people. They only way the sport develops is by developing teams playing top flight teams and Italy are getting so close on numerous occasions.

      France: I’ll support them over any “anyone but England” side on principle. That tends to be Wales and certainly Scotland these days. I enjoyed the Scotland / France result immensely (Scotland played poorly for 80 mins against an underperforming French side - I’m glad they didn’t get let off the hook).

      I acknowledge that France are not the side they were looking like they were going to be a couple of years ago, but Wales are so bad right now. I think it’ll be a tough watch.

      England / Ireland : Ireland are certainly favourites, no doubt. I’ll also never write England off as, on the day, they can beat any side. All depends on which England team shows up.
