[Interista Gallese]

So the November internationals left Wales looking evermore retarded, Scotland making a fightback, France blowing hot and cold, England flattering to deceive, Ireland likewise, and Italy getting strong results than us sheepshaggers. How do you think the Six Nations will go? And perhaps most importantly how do you think the World Cup will pan out?

I think the six nations will see France win with England second, probably Scotland third and Ireland fourth, Italy could seriously challenge Wales for the wooden spoon.

World Cup wise New Zealand are strong but will mess up at the final hurdle, I rather fancy Australia to bulk up their pack and take it and I think South Africa will beat most NH oppostion. Argentina are on the down but Fiji could surprise.

springboks and wallabies final if they plan the draw right.....hopefully

 

[Interista Gallese]

Hopefully not, hopefully Wales and AN Other but thats an impossibility, much as I'm not a Francophile I would love to see France do well as its the only NH team that can put it together that I wouldn't be sick to see win it.

wales....dont know about that. france probably the best bet from the NH

Wales have zero chance in anything other than beating Italy.

I used to play Rugby in high school, then re-rolled to American Football, where the real men resides.

where the real men resides.

I watch, and follow both sports, but I would disagree, rugby players are more "real men". American footballers are covered in pads and wear helmets FFS. Also there is a lot more pusseys in American football than there is in rugby.

Yup. He was all over the paper in Ireland. I have never heard about him since he graduated and eventually left Ireland, but he was Leinster's star.

Another rugby player I know is Emmett Byrne. He played for Leinster and had a few caps with Ireland.

I'm down in OZ atm. didn't follow Ireland's game for a while but they have become quite shitty lately. Players getting older yet the young ones don't stand up. Who won the game? The last scots - irish I watched was 6th nation.

 

[Cal]

Who won the game?

The whole game it was Scotland doing their usual - controlling possession and territory, but not finding a way to score. Ireland were winning 6-3, all on penalties till like the 78th minute when Scotland finally managed to get a try.

10-6 to Scotland.
