6 Nations Match Summaries; Predictions & Comments Thread 2006

[Skater]

Scotland started brightly but fell away when the referee gave Wales a penalty try.

Wales were really back to their form from Six Nations 2005 I felt yesterday. Everything seemed to go against Scotland. A stupid Scott Murray lost his temper and just kicked out. Being sent off.

Scotland could actually win the 6 Nations - they've beaten England 18-12, and fully deserved! I think it'll be between Scotland, France, England and Ireland in the Six Nations - definetly ruling out Wales and Italy at this stage.

When will AR drop Ellis for goodness sake?!?! 3 games and he still hasn't shown anything to convince me. I don't blame Ellis for the loss, it was a performance that included far too many mistakes. Scotland though do deserve alot of credit for the way they defended and for taking their chances when they had them.

If Dawson doesn't play against France, I'll rob a bank, buy a ticket for the channel tunnel and physically strangle AR.

Maybe someone could smuggle him in their car

Back on topic, it was a dodgy performance from England, they still haven't really recovered from the slump after the world cup... England teams are famous for winning something big then losing the next game , look at football/soccer 1966, rugby 2003, ashes 2005 (tell me if any missed out ).

Yes but England were a fairly old side when they won the World Cup in 2003, so it wasn't really a form slump as such, it was to an extent, but also a reformation process with a few key players retiring afterwards, the coach retiring and obviously the ongoing injury plagues of Wilkinson.

Thats the England way win something by going all out and then the wheels fall off afterwards. They won't come near the All Blacks come next year. The World Cup is coming back to the Southern Hemisphere

I agree the All Blacks should definitely take the World Cup home in 2007, the strongest force by far in most aspects by far, but they've been favourites plenty of times before and haven't finished off the job, so should be interesting. England won't yield their title cheaply so it should be an interesting tournament.

If you stamp on an opposition player, you deserve to be banned. Simple as that really.

After the shambles in Paris, the last thing we need is potential players getting themselves banned. I've just seen Ellis is playing on Saturday...oh well, congratulations Ireland on winning the triple crown at the very least.
