Six Nations Championship 2013
« on: January 29, 2013, 11:16:06 AM »
Well it's that time of year !, when us die hard Rugby Union fans start salivating looking forward to the start of the Six Nations Championship this Saturday 2nd February, when Wales v Ireland (13.30); England v Scotland (16.00); and on Sunday 3rd February Italy v France (15.00).

After the World Cup, last years Six Nations, and last Autumns test matches, it promises to be a fascinating tournament, England must feel that they are in with a good chance of success after their inspiring performance against the All Blacks in the Autumn; France always there or thereabouts depending on their mood on the day !; Wales suffering the highs and lows over the past year !; Ireland always strong when it counts; Italy on the up and continually improving; and Scotland unfortunately in the doldrums with a lot to prove. All the ingredients for a "battle royale" !.

So, all you like minded folk of all nationalities let's open up this to some amateur "punditry" (not sure if that's even a word !), and post match analysis, all littered, no doubt, with a liberal sprinkling of "banter" (good natured of course !   ;)  :)).

Good luck to all involved and let's hope the Championship lives up to it's prospects !, I'm sure it will bring lots of cheers  ;D, smiles  :), and tears  :'( .

My daughter is about to be married to an Irishman. Which is absolutely good news and to be celebrated. Unfortunately, she is to be married next Saturday. By my calculations I shall be making my Father of the Bride speech, welcoming the groom into the family, whilst the Wales v Ireland game is still in progress. It could be a trifle tricky.

Seize the opportunity Colwyn - big screen TV adjacent to the reception room with the head usher in charge.That should keep some of the boys off the Old Growler away from the bar ! I wish you all a memorable day.

This is a time of year I really look forward to :D. I meet up with a few 'old' teammates on saturday afternoons, and we watch the 6 nations over a few beers  :), and plenty of good banter. Superb.I think England will win with Ireland a close second.  ;)

England are just the bookies favourites with France a close second.H you can get 33/1 on Scotland winning the  title.

I sure hope so Shameless, but it'll be tough to rally after that disasterous Autumn test series, and we've got a lot of injury problems particularly in the second row, but let's not start with excuses !    :), and let's keep the faith   ;).

The "craic" should be mighty at that wedding Colwyn !   :)  ;).

The only way is up H, good luck !.
