Sure stick me down for Wales v Scotland....

.... Seeing as they are being taken up at a fierce rate!

Not sure if its just me, but are the English not somewhat over confident rocking up to the Stadio Olimpico expecting a win having been so sensationally outfoxed just last year.

It's weird, but this is all starting to remind me of the Battle for Helms Deep to be honest and I can almost see the game playing out the same way...

England 4 points down, Farrell lines up a penalty at goal with 5 minutes to go.
The sun is setting and is at England's backs.
Farrell hits the posts and ball rebounds into play. The Itallians are blinded by the sun while Dan Cole gathers (he'll have a full beard grown out by the weekend) and scores between the posts.

Everyone wondering why he's on horseback.


(Oh god it's still only Tuesday.)

No critics here.... Just make sure the tables are good.

Oh, go on, first time for everything. I'll take Italy - England. Fully sure of my impending regret of making this decision, when does one expect a preview thread to be up for a game on Sunday?

If, on waking up with a hangover, LD regrets his drunken impetuousness, I am available - off the bench so as to speak - to preview the teams in the Blue & Green corners. And provided no-one objects to it being a project previewer, qualifying after 7 years of habitation on the Emerald Isle.

Anyone else is free to go ahead. Otherwise, if work is not too busy tomorrow, I'll try and find a moment. Tonight was rugby training, which I think is a perfectly acceptable excuse

Any new blood want to give these a go?

I'm under pressure this week with work but I'll do either Ireland or Scotland, whichever you are stuck with.

prawnsambo

I'll do the Ireland v Italy thread if that suits.

Instead of site bans, the Mods should make infracted users write game previews instead :pac:

Sounds like back seat modding right there... that's a paddlin'. We'll let you do the Scotland game instead...
