Confident of a result this weekend?
A potential showdown with France for the Grand Slam in the last game if you can keep the results going!

Like the Scotland game two weeks ago I'm not actually that convenient. I got a feeling Scotland where going to try and stiffle the game and go for kicks and for a while I was right. I think this is going to be the most physical game yet for Wales with Italy trying to keep the ball with their forwards which is apparently one of the strongest packs in the world where as Wales like to run with the ball and play fast. Italy are a bit of a bogey team for Wales - lost against them last season and drew the year before.
Should win but close. |

Yeah right, you blew them out of the water.
The poor BBC 1 viewers though. 124 of them complained about the amount of rugby on the TV on Saturday. They must have been missing the quality that is usually on. Shows like the Lottery, repeats of 'Allo'Allo and TV Blunders  _________________ Visit the Our Scotland Blog at http://our-scotland.blogspot.com/ |

lol, we definatly tore them to bits in the 2nd half, Wales, as with the matches against England and Scotland showed the fitness that we currently have meaning when the otherside where beginning to get tired we where able to punish them. However still a bit too much mistakes in the first half to make me too confident of victories against Ireland and France. I'm more confident of a victory against France than against the Irish.
Can't believe people complain about the 6 Nations - all 124 of them! The 6 Nations happsns for 5 weekends a year. As you said, it would either be these matches or endless repreats of Americas Stupidest Animals 27. |

Que more complaints tomorrow with football AND rugby
As much as I would love to see it, don't hold out much hope of a Scotland result tomorrow.
Looks like it is going to come down to a do or die match against the Italians for the Wooden Spoon. _________________ Visit the Our Scotland Blog at http://our-scotland.blogspot.com/ |

Brilliant win for Scotland yesterday. Shows that the England games have something special about them for Wales, Scotland and Ireland (less so for Ireland as they've been closer matched to them over the past 10 years or so). Form counts for nothing when it comes to the game against England. It's who wants it most that counts. Yesterday, Scotland wanted it more than England did. They matched them at every move and where the better team.
Really chuffed by the Wales score too obviously. This was the one game I was most worried about. It was the most difficult 80 mins yet. I was tempted to put an acumalative bet down yesterday moring with a Wales and Scotland win. Regret I didn't now!
If Italy pull off a shock against France today Wales will be crowned RBS Six Nations 2008 Winners! |

Good luck for your last game, Cymro.
I just pray we can pull off a win in Italy to avoid the spoon. Having not scored a try yet is a worry. |

Thanks. Trying not to get too cocky by telling myself that winning the 6 Nations is an achievment in itself and that the Grand Slam is a bonus....it doesn't seem to be working though. Everyone remembers the Grand Slam winners!
France have the best record of the visiting teams in the Millenium Stadium, but the atmosphere on Saturday is going to be out of this world.
In the middle of the game I'll be having to jump in my car and driving to Liverpool to pick up my wife from the train station. Could she really have timed that worse if she tried? I'm planning on putting the game on Sky + and not putting the radio on for my trip.
We'll see.....
Scotland should go to Italy a lot more confident now. Italy are tough but Scotland just need some confidence with the ball. |
