I always have a loyalty dilemma at this time: I consider myself English but am Scottish by Birthright, married to Irish, & my surname  has Welsh connections. Can I be 4 faced? - yes if it suits and saves me from a ******************** (make up your own word/s) !  :-\   ;D

Can't wait for the action to begin. Are England going to find one of their old scripts and be boring and will the French, under St Andre, soar? The Irish have a new skipper, the Taffs are going to be dangerous, the Scots have nothing to lose, and the Italians will always be entertaining. Bodes well for the most interesting tournament of recent times.

Jondo, it should be entertaining to watch you spontaneously combust trying to support all 4!!! At least you've been saved the humiliation of having any French Connections, (unless you wear FCUK)

My one hope would be for all six teams playing open expansive rugby.

And dare I say that I hope that applies especially to England. They are capable of playing great rugby but it always seems to me that they rely too much on gaining penalties and kicking their way to victories.

Off to the bunker.....

Absolutely no doubt. As I have said many times before there is no finer sight or sound in sport.

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 ?

You're right Shamless2 though rugby supporters generally keep their combusting behind closed doors! One group always worth supporting are the referees (no I'm not one - tried it once - no likey!): at least they are respected by the players! Although a certain Andre Watson is one I'm not a fan of since he tried to give Australia time to beat England in the '03 World Cup Final - even though his decision making was generally good during the rest of the game! It did raise some eyebrows at the time - nuff said!
I digress. Bring it on!
