Predictions; Always tough in the Six Nations, particularly before the start of the tournament, but here goes, here are mine; -

Wales 21 - Ireland 17 ( only because of the home advantage)
England 37 - Scotland 12 (sorry H !)
Italy 13 - France 30 ( guess really !)

What are yours ?
The result of chosing 'white' for England makes it look as if you think anyone could beat Scotland 37-12     ;)

Wales 22 : Ireland 30 - Exciting game of 2 halves, all Ireland first half, all Wales 2nd half, just left themselves too much to do !, still great defence second half by Ireland to keep a rampant Wales out for long periods, outstanding performances by the "master" Brian O'Driscoll and hooker Rory Best, strong Welsh performances by Toby Falatau and new boy Coombes !.

Well done Ireland, and now onto the Calcutta Cup match England v Scotland.

Wales didn't take advantage of their chances, but a great 2nd half. Come on Scotland the brave!!!!

England 38 : Scotland 18 - Well the result was much as expected with a very powerful England performance, but credit to Scotland for a passionate and "gutsy" display, very commendable !; all in all a very entertaining first day of the championship (even though Wales lost !!   :( )

Two great games and the thing that struck me most was just how much football can learn from rugby union.

Well the match finished about ten minutes before we sat down for the "Wedding Breakfast" so that I had to make my speech to a banquet room full of guests that included about 50 Irish folk and tell them that I welcomed Mark into the family despite the calamity in Cardiff earlier in the afternoon.

Italy 23 : France 18 - Well didn't see that one coming ! lacklustre French performance , but can't take anything away from "whippin' boys no more" Italy, really put the cat amongst the pigeons !, great performances by World class Peresse and veteran prop Castrogiovani - Well done Azzuri, bellissimo !!    :)  :)
