As a forum we should watch the games again, en masse, at a scheduled time.

And have match day thread for each game, with real arguments and everything.

Yeah let's not bring up any bad memories.























Still Dave Kearney selected over Zebo, pure joke it was.

Is it weird that I actually want this to happen?

Actually, while we're collectively watching all the games and commenting on them, we should also play a game of "What would Zebo have done?"

How would Uncle Deccie have done it?

Can the Cork Con mafia read my thoughts?

BOD offload with left hand was ridiculous

Sanjuro

England

Johnny Sexton's run from the 22 and ludicrously long pass to Heaslip against Scotland. Still remember that moment from last year.

Massive demand for tickets and a huge increase in demand for Scottish tickets which is great given they don't have a England home game which normally sells out easily.

Last year’s champion, Ireland, will look to defend their crown while holding off the talented squads of England and Ireland.

The 6N committee must have great faith in the Wolfhounds if they're letting us have two teams in the championship

Just a slight tangent on this thread -

Which players on other teams do you look forward to seeing in the 6N?

For me it's "big" Jim Hamilton (an old school nasty assed bast*rd). If there's a bit of niggle or handbags you can bet he'll be stuck in the middle of it.

errlloyd

England

Fofanna, Teddy Thomas from France and just generally seeing a decently coached Scottish back line.

Don't think this is a bad thing.
Farrell can barely get the Saracens & England back-line playing decent line-breaking rugby.
Ford is reckon will fill in nicely.

He seemed to walk off fine, but obviously it is serious. He will be gutted as I think he was fighting for his place anyway.

Hard luck for him but good for the players knocking on the door and a blessing for England as its a chance for the others to really make a case.
