Rugby - 6 Nations 2015

[Erik le Rouge]

Yo guys. I'm opening this thread for all the Rugby lovers out there. There was already one last year for the 6 Nations Tournament, so let's do the same this year.

Who do you support ? Who do you think will win this year ? Looking forward to the World Cup in a few months ? All Rugby talking is here

England [close]

Ireland [close]

Scotland [close]

Wales [close]

France [close]

Italy [close]

I personally support France, obviously, but if I had to give a team that I think will win this year I'd go for England or Ireland. Both have had excellent results lately, and with the French team missing some key players due to Top 14, I don't think there will be much teams to stop them. Wales is still sharp and will be a tough adversary for everyone. Italy is a bit lower than the rest but still can surprise everyone (they beat France last year in Roma). And I think Scotland improved a lot, they can do great this year, way better than the previous editions at least.

Tournament starts this weekend, with Wales facing England Friday at 8:05pm GMT, Italy facing Ireland Saturday at 2:30pm GMT, and France facing Scotland Saturday at 5pm GMT.
I personally bet on England, Ireland and France for the winners.

Just my two cents of course. Give your point of view !

England beat Wales, thanks guise good start

Yeah England didn't perform as I would have hoped. New Zealand didn't even look like a contest in the final, Samoa deserve to come back so it's a shame Scotland will get the spot.

Spoiler

But in seriousness. I thought Wales and Ireland were always favorites to win everything? The World Cup is having a game in Leeds whenever it's on. Worth going to see?

Was at the pub today and the game was on. I need to watch more

Can't wait for France to take on Scotland tonight. Will be great. The Scots have improved, but they didn't beat us on our soil for ages, which is a good sign I guess.
And, England vs Wales was an amazing game, dat come back from England. Can't wait to see the rest.

Ireland won against Italy by 26-3 last week, and France beat Scotland 15-8.

The first match of this week-end just ended, with England beating Italy 47-17. And France-Ireland will begin soon, in the Aviva Stadium of Dublin. Will be a tough match !
