Hello and welcome.
Is this the most un-hyped tournament in recent history? Possibly.
Round 1:
FRA v IRE - Fri 20:00 ITV1
ITA v ENG - Sat 14:15 ITV1
WAL v SCO - Sat 16:45 BBC1
Please opine and predict away. I’ll do some polls.
Kind of looking forward to it, but then again I always do. I’m a creature of habit.

Very annoyed that I bought my GF tickets fir us to go and do a sip and paint in Chorlton tonight, so will miss the game.
Theres definitely a bit of a come down for Ireland and France folowing the workd cup, the Welsh are possibly a proper mess, so theyre more trepidition than anticipation, and England fans have a bit of optimism, with a few positive young selections, but are waiting to see if Borthwick is actually going to try and play any rugby at all.
Seems a bit daft to put the tournament decider as the first game tbh. France and Ireland to show everyone else just how far ahead they are. Hopefully Scotland can continue to improve. Wales’ tournament will be an absolute horror show. Would love Italy to get a couple of decent results and may be their best chance of doing so. Probably not going to happen though. England may be great but could just as easily be abject.
Should be interesting at least. Can’t say I’m looking forward to it though
Didn’t they do the same last year too? Odd.
They played each other week 2 in the last one. Still way too early…
Ireland looking solid
That’s a red
That’ll make them feel better about the card. Lovely piece of play
Oh god
Ugh, this again
Red. All day long. 2 yellows. What’s he doing???
What a silly prick
Did the commentator just call the French ‘frogs’? Sure sounded like it
Keenan’s wrecked his jewels there
France are better without yer man I guess
Entertaining with moments of brilliance (and stupidity).
Loving McCarthy a lot.
Straight red anyway
So he’s been sent off twice!!
