When were you watching Bath, back in the days of Spurrell, Simpson, Palmer and co (early 80's), or a little later?
1981-83 We used to go there, not vet often I lived in Poole, as for remembering names that was 40 years ago
Just enjoyed the occassional trip but followed/ supported them after that.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

I've got Ireland (sorry Pharvey), England and France this first round. The only one I hesitate about is England. The Scots could well do them in IMO.
Well, I should have gone with my gut feel.

First joined in 81, when I played in the "Kiddies Academy" (before moving to Keynsham) - those were the days of Spurrell and "Simmo" in the backrow Trevaskis on the wing, Palmer.... I could go on - despite it being 40+ years ago!!
As for the 6N, Wales were shorn of players, but bereft of tactical nouse and defence. Not taking anything away from Ireland who were superb. Questions however need to be asked over Pivac and co. France vs Ireland is going to be the match!!
.... Scotland vs The Lillywhites (and that poncy Fly-Half) -
"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things" - Yma o Hyd.
England should have won. However conceding a penalty try was in my mind unforgivable, he could have caught it. That turned the game.
Unfortunately I missed the Wales game I had to go to a meeting, it's is sad Wales lost by such a large margin. Lets hope the play better in the rest of the 6 nations.

Well, some serious improvements/changes to be made after the Ireland fiasco if this isn't going to be a rather embarrassing tour...... Though as they say, you do need to play the best
South Africa Tour: Springboks Confirm Three July 2022 Test Dates for Wales Visit
"South Africa have confirmed a three Test series against Wales in July with matches in Pretoria, Bloemfontein and Cape Town.
It will be the first time since 2014 that Wales have toured the country, when they lost the series 2-0.
This summer's first Test against the Springboks will be held at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday, 2 July.
Wayne Pivac's side will then take on the reigning World Cup champions on 9 July and 16 July.
Kick-off times for the Tests are yet to be decided."

They'll hopefully have a multitude of players in the squad that are currently unavailable, but to be fair they looked clueless against Ireland (admittedly with very little ball) - this is a major issue which needs to be addressed in the coaching and management department.....
Anywho, let's see what this weekend brings: -

I think the U20 is running in conjunction with the regular 6 Nation competition? Ireland had a whopping victory as well on Feb 4. I would truly expect to see them go unbeaten.

Did you really have to go there Pete...... Are you in partnership with lindosfan1 to beat me up?!
Yes indeed, Ireland also handed Wales U20's their @rses on a plate...
U20's games generally played the night/day before the senior side(s).
I've not got the noose out just yet - let's see what comes..... Can't get much worse, surely!!
If Wales weren't so cr@p, you'ld be looking at 5th place - Italy looking good though!!
