Rugby - Six NAtions Prediction League

[Randy Cornhole]

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

Hairs stand up on the back of my kneck, tears of pride well up in my eyes as I grab the rose on my puffed out chest. Death to all infidels...

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, Gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.
Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd i mi.
Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwald tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ac erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.


........... Proper job! Start learning, I think as a matter of course this season, all should sing this at Wales' Grand Slam party!

One thing I've noticed on this and the Super 14 is that once you make your picks, they're locked. No going back and changing them up to kickoff like in IKTS. Beware! Pete

I don't see any pool on those sites for Tri-Nation. Am I correct that runs each year between Australia-New Zealand and South Africa? I think I read somewhere that Argentina may be added as well in the future. Pete

The Tri-Nations is played July through September, so we've got a few months yet. Should be interesting this year though - I've a feeling Australia could just upset things.

Argentina have been provisionally accepted to join the Tri-Nations possibly from 2012, but they need to fufill a few requirements - mainly the setting up of a fully professional domestic league.

After the post-Lions blues, the Wales players are now coming into a bit of form with some big wins by the Welsh clubs over their English counterparts in European competition in recent weeks. I saw the trip to Twickenham described on the BBC website as a 'tricky' one for Wales. Ten years ago it would have been described as a 'daunting' one. But no more. Man for man the current Wales first team is simply better than the England team in almost every position at the moment. What England have going for them is the history of home advantage and ....... the tag of UNDERDOGS!!

Just made my first round picks. Mwwaahaaaaaaaa...

Gareth Williams should have been picked for Wales years ago. Now due to injury he gets his chance and I believe he will take it. Very dynamic player who I think will make a big impact around the park on Saturday, as he has for CARDIFF BLUES during Heineken & Anglo Welsh Cup competitions over the last couple of years.

Always difficult to predict results.

Player changes, tactical changes, cohesion, team spirit etc

If you look at results over the years their is always fluction is the top teams. That is why it is so entertaining. Nobody really knows until the contest

Personally I think Scotland will surprise a few of us this year. I may to eat my words though
