citizenED Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 If France win I'll be happy. They are playing cavalier rugby backed by a coach who didn't play a recognised goal kicker against England because "..rugby isnt about winning penalties, it's about scoring tries.." How is that for a refreshing attitude. Can you imagine England having such spirit? The Eng/France game was such an enthralling game because the French kept running the ball often from their own 22. Vive le France!BTW I'm English and want England to win.

bignumber5 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 but can't you just see the welsh getting it this year? 'twould be a painful event but welsh rugby is all about momentum and passion, and they're on a roll...

atila the gooner Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I can't see England winning as much as I'd like it, because our fate is not in our hands, and Ireland is our last game. These factors combined will be the undoing of us.

paragon Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The Six Nations is the big winner (mwah mwah) this year. It really needed a big open tournament. Definately think bonus points should be introduced for try scoring (like the European Cup)as too much is decided on points difference. And if you avoid going to Rome this gives you a big advantage.

Keef Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Do you remember a few years ago when for a reason that now escapes me, there was a gap of a couple of months before the last game. England had won the title, but had to go to Ireland to try and get the Grand Slam. Ireland won it, and the losing side were then presented with the championship trophy. All very weird.

All very weird.apart from armagh winning the all-ireland in 2002,that was probably the best day of my life, watching the faces on the engerland boys collecting the trophy,priceless.

DaveR Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Especially if both England and France manage to stick a few points on Scotland and ItalyHowever, I'm not even going to predict that England beat the Scots, let alone a scoreline Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2757-whos-going-to-win-the-6-nations/#findComment-85311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
atila the gooner Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Anybody brave enough to predict scores or outcomes for the games this weekend? I'm not going to tempt fate just in case I put the kiss of death on them.

tinagwee Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 anyone watching the ireland v wales match tomorrow? I wanna watch it but am not sure where it will be on as apparantly there is some important footie on.can I gloat and say I am going the the ireland v england match at twickenham. Screamed with joy when I found out. Mate who I got the ticket through plays for a team in Ireland and he knows some of the players so we may well be in the pub with them after the game either celebrating or commiserating. SOOOOOOOO happy. Happily have a pint with O'Driscoll. That fella can drink, so just the one!
