2024 six nations

[Martinr36]

What a start to the tournament:
A great match between Ireland and France last night in which Ireland set out their stall for the tournament.
A scrappy win by England against Italy.
A match of 2 halves between Wales and Scotland, resulting in the narrowest of wins for Scotland

I fancy our chances at winning the 6 Nations again this year, but I don't think it'll be another Grand Slam!

I saw your post this morning and was thinking that Ireland looked a cut above against France, but didn't want to say anything incase Italy beat us. It feels as though the other 5 teams are fairly evenly matched in competitive terms, but Ireland do love a banana skin, so I stick with my prediction of winning the Six Nations, but not as Grand Slam champions.

while italy have improved from ten yrs ago I dont think there going to worry too many teams.

van der Merwe getting Player of the Match as he was Sin Binned was a pretty funny end to what's been a decent day of rugby!

 

[Martinr36]

I thought the Calcutta cup was a pretty scrappy match all round, neither teak really deserved it

 

[AccidentalDenz]

It was a bit. Fits in with what we were saying that most teams seem fairly evenly matched this year.

yep, at the start of the tournament it was supposedly go to be between Ireland and France and Italy do that, good on them, I've said for a few seasons that they get underrated

 

[HomerJ]

Italy do that, good on them, I've said for a few seasons that they get underrated

italy do need to kick on considering they entered the 6 nations in 2000

 

[Martinr36]

What a result, that must have been the best game of the tournament, and Ben Earls deserved player of the match.

in other 6 Nations news, what about Italy............
