Rugby

I have a bias towards first receivers who stand flat tho. Such as Sexton, who I think is by far the best in the Northern Hemisphere. Look how well he got Farrell playing. Ford, tho not as good, is the same type of flyhalf.

Farrell sometimes floats deep when the pressure is on, it gives him more time, can allow him to look better but is detrimental to the back line.

I agree with Sexton, he was the difference for Leinster when they beat Exeter, and him going off in the third minute in the return match nearly led us beating them.

I'm just not sure Ford is playing his best this year, but maybe that is a Leicester issue. Oh and I would have Cipriani in the squad as well.

Haven't seen him play at Leicester so you may be right. Could be getting lost in a sea of mediocrity.

I suspect he is, hopefully he can throw the shackles off against Italy...

I've backed him big time here so he better.

Are you reading this George, don't fuck it up!

I'm sure he's on here. Wonder what he rides?

I would love to see Ireland take the championship. They have it in them and can play amazingly well at times. (just need to change at times to all the time.)

My money's on an Ireland vs Scotland Grand Slam showdown!

Ireland v Wales you mean?

How can that be possible when Scotland sneak a win by three points on Saturday? ;)

If Scotland can perform like they did in the Autumn internationals, Wales could get spanked. Can't see past England for the title, but no grand slam this year.

I’m with my dad in hospital in Austria and the only thing keeping him going is the chance of watching the six nations live. What is the most reliable service to do this through, paid or other. It’s kind of important.

If you can get WiFi , BBC online has the games, not England though. Think ITV has some, but not sure whether they stream live.

He's playing with Toomua at 12 for Tigers who's no slouch...

The issue he has at Tigers is from 4-8 they're not good enough and his coach is a muppet.

Looking forward to seeing if the Wales Scarlets can take their form onto the international stage. Losing Warburton, Faletau and Tipuric will be difficult to deal with though.

Are the forwards going backwards then? Suppose he may have limited experience at that.

Toomua

Just googled him, married a dual international (cricket and football). If they have kids.... We should definitely keep them in the UK, just incase.

Day-booed for Australia in both sports at 16. Oof

Pretty much. Tigers are a shambles this season. With Young, Ford, Toomau, Tuilagi, May and Veainu in the backs they should be dominating even sides like Wasps in attack but no. Just no.

So... Today's games... Which is the interesting one?

Great start. Total madness so far.

They had better buck up their game then! 🤔

Crushed

Scotland are rank.

I want to have Leigh Halfpenny's babies.
