Six Nations 2016
« on: February 04, 2016, 15:33:08 PM »
Yes, it starts on Saturday. Thoroughly looking forward to it. We begin with an appetizer of France v Italy. As ever we wonder what sort of France will turn up and we hope Italy will beat somebody - as long as it isn't our team! Then we are on to "resurgent" Scotland v England under new dynamic coach. Jones says the Scots must be favourites. But he would say that wouldn't he? Is Scotland really making a comeback? Can England put memories of the World Cup to bed? On Sunday we get "The Big Two": Ireland and Wales who have shared the last four 6Ns between them. Of course I'm shouting for Wales and getting my red rugby shirt out of the drawer. But you have to worry about the champions playing at home.

Looks like a great weekend of sport.

Wholly agree, Colwyn. Really looking forward to it.

Seems to be a very open 6 Nations this year.

Of course, my white shirt will be on but for me no team shines through as obvious favourites.

I'll give a donation to 3 C's if and when England beat Wales plus an extra bit if England top the group.

An extra £10 every time Dylan Hartley gets sent off!

(I'll double that if Wales or Scotland win the group - non English family members have added that clause).

I've started saving now......(don't worry 3 C's - the amount, I'm sure, will be the same regardless of outcome).

Not the French though - please not the French. My life would be unbearable (French partner).

Just been checking.......

it seems that only Scotland and Italy have never won the 6 Nations.

Italy - no chance this year or anytime in the near future but perhaps there is a chance that the Scots will get their hands on the trophy this year (if they can find a Scottish engraver).

Sorry, Ma. Couldn't resist that one.

Yeah, Burke & Hare are no longer about - oh, hang on, they were disengravers weren't they?

Someone is ready for the big match this afternoon. I hope she'll be in a Wales shirt tomorrow
but her (Irish) father might have other thoughts about that.

She's absolutely gorgeous, Colwyn. Great photo. Fine looking shirt!

Let's hope the two underdogs (Italy and England) do it today.

Hoping for a draw tomorrow.

Have a good weekend.......
