I hate to say this but I think Wales maybe the dark horse this year.

Can I have a pint of whatever you're drinking please?

I'll have a pint on it with you BB - I'll just have to wait until later in the year to collect my "winnings" I guess!!

It all starts this weekend guys

I'll try to dig it up later today but I recall there is a sports channel on True that shows nothing but Rugby. Perhaps this series will be on it? Pete

[Big Boy]

It'll certainly be on Thai Expat TV

[pharvey]

Well, I shall be attempting to watch via the Internet - not great speed here unfortunately, so fingers crossed.

FYI, I believe it is on BBC iPlayer (VPN required), but definitely on a couple of streams via www.wiziwig.tv

It's TSE1, channel 107 and it looks as if it will be on in its entirety, but not 100% sure. Pete

RZR is at it again. Come on Pharvey, get those CCTV and listening devices we had installed in his house turned on. Pete

Scotland on course for the Wooden Spoon again, seems a waste as they couldn't even beat eggs on current form.

Well, the way Wales played in the 1st half yesterday, we'll be joining you for the decider! Taking nothing away from Ireland's performance, but Wales were dire again in the 1st half - quite honestly clueless in attack. There will be some shouts for Howley's head, I'm sure - 8 losses from 8 starts, the first time we've lost 5 on the trot at home..... doesn't make good reading!! Despite an exciting comeback from Wales in the 2nd half, being down 30-3 early on in the 2nd was simply too much - to pull back to 30-22 certainly looks better on paper, but Ireland had the game sewn up in the 2nd quarter, BOD back to his best. Congrats to Ireland.

Congrats also to Beelzibub's XV, with what sounds like a convincing victory against the Scots - didn't get to see the game unfortunately but will try and get some highlights from You Tube if and when they are posted.

Yes, I would congratulate RZR on his early lead, but it's getting far too boring!!

Shit forgot to put my Ireland win on!

Whahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha......... Oh sorry, bad luck mate..

[pharvey]

Well bugger me......

Italy 23 vs France 18!!

Well played the Azzurri!! Two 6N wins on the trot against Les Bleus at home!! Dark days for Wales - backlash against France and we'll get tw@tted by the Pasta Munchers it looks like!!

This result certainly opens things up in the Championship - could Ireland vs England be the championship decider early on?

Certainly makes next weekend's games all the more interesting....

Good result for Godsown XV, a bit of a dour match but the conditions dictated the style of play. England`s strong bench was a major factor in the last 20 minutes. Still a long way to go before we can regularly challenge the Southern Hemisphere, but going in the right direction.

5 Ulster players in the Irish team to play Scotland this wekend. A healthy sign for the Irish team who play as a united IRELAND

Italy v Wales should be good too. see you at El Murphy's
