    Shocking conditions in Rome but Italy managed them better to beat Scotland 🇮🇹

    I fear Wales are going to be put to the sword at Twickenham. A poor beginning already with Dede Davi (me neither) makinng a real pig's ear of Hen wlad fy nhadau to start the suffering early. 😡

    I haven't been watching. The rain here in Cardiff is depressing enough.

    It's carnage. Even as an English man, it's no spectacle.

    Despite being Scottish, I have to agree with you :disappointed:

    My predictions for the 6 Nations based on this weekend:
    First / second France & England.
    Third / fourth Ireland & Italy
    Fifth / sixth Scotland & Wales

    I hope to be proved wrong...

    I agree that France should get top of the table. However, I don't think England beating Ireland is a given. Sure, they ran in 6 tries against us but, given our terrible indiscipline and shocking lack of invention, they should have scored more. As Josh Adams showed, the English defence is not 100%.

    I agree, but England would have scored another thirty points had they been more careful and not suffered from White Line Fever. Whenever someone is held up over the line I reckon they should go down before the line and lay it back. Ok, 90% of the time.

    Btw, anyone else think Maro Itoje has a chance of wearing the #19 shirt this year? Coles and Chessum look very effective.
