six nations predictions, round 4

france v italy, well depending on how the french want to play it and wether the rest a few players. i will go with a french win by 22 points.

ireland v wales, it should be a cracker of a game! especially with the support for the irish on home soil, and the travelling welsh fans in good voice after a good session in the pubs before kick off. still think the welsh have it in them to upet the apple cart. its not going to be easy with all the changes they have made to their line up, but if they can go virtually error free in the match i think they could do it.

out on a limb wales by 8 points.

now for the biggy, scotland v england. the old enemy, nothing will give me greater pleasure than to see our boys give the sweaty socks a good old stuffing on home soil, whilst robinson looks on. they will be more than up for it though, and it may turn out to be a bit of a bump and grind affair. will england try and play an exspansive free running game. all depends on the orders from above, me thinks.

england by 10 points. COME ON ENGLAND! everyone knows the rest of the world will be hoping for scottish win.

[Bizz]

Ireland leading Wales 27-12 we won

[b19bry]

England as the surprise package in the 6 nations........

Yep - certainly a surprising lack lustre performance today....

Abysmal............. can't see them winning again in this years tournament

I was right there then, things not getting any better, time for some serious changes from the management down.

Unlikely to have much effect now, so long after the final whistle. I don't suppose we could get his two goals retrospectively disallowed?

I think his commitment and passion and discipline stands him head and shoulders above the rest of the England squad

i wouldnt be surprised, although it would be uncharacteristic of wilkinson. if he doesnt do a danny cipriani, and turn his back on the international scene. to concentrate on his club career in france, with toulon. at least until the current coaching staff are replaced. maybe too late then!

[Donnyboy]

update

Blues win 39-34 good game by both teams,free flowing footy, how it should be played. Blues started the 2nd half well but defense still had lapses, good tries scored from both sides, but handling still not the best,

[Atmos]

I thought the Blues-Brumbies game was up there with the best I've seen this S14 season, neither side ever gave up even 5 from the end i wouldn't have put money on either side. Shows what can happen when both sides (and the ref!) have the right attitude.

i thought the way the game flowed was good

the last All Blacks game vs France was very similiar, both teams willing to pass the ball after a few phases, my opinion is that although France lost that expansive played game, its now paying dividends in their 6 Nations campaign

updates

Bulls 19 - Canes 18

Crusaders 46 - Lions 19

Sharks 30 - Highlanders 16

i will eat my own words,

the irish go down to the scots 20-23. no triple crown this year!

[spongeman]

Well done to Scotland, a fully deserved win. Ireland didnt play that well but then again the Scots were very good indeed.

Parks was immense. What a performance.

Its great to see Dan Parks doing well. It just goes to show that the team management really do know more than all the whingers that have been rubbishing his performance in the year or so prior to this tournament. I expect Donnyboy will be looking forward to seeing him do well in the World Cup...we all need something to look forward to...

SC

[spongeman]

O Gara should have been brought on a lot earlier. Parks was playing so well, he was putting Sexton under so much pressure and he could'nt handle it. We needed experience.

Strangely enough our lineout was also a complete shambles, we must have lost 8 or 9 ?

looking forward to watching many players, not specifically Parks

also looking forward to this years tri-nations as it will be a dress rehearsal for next years RWC, with the winner gaining a physicological boost, im sure the SH teams have seen what the NH teams can produce during this years 6 Nations

im hoping they will be looking to opening up the game even more, playing an expansive high paced game but the weather in NZ is wet and cold during sept/oct so it will probably suit tight forward play, kicking for territory will be key also.

Hey guys can you tell me where to watch the NRL in BAngkok? newbie here next week from Bangkok and need some help

you can try, the aussie pub on sukumvit soi 11, about 500 yards down on your left handside.

or maybe soi 8 pub, on sukumvit soi 8. although its more of a rugby union pub.

mabey even the robin hood on sukumvit road, near soi 35.
