England 47-13 Wales
Ireland 26-16 Italy

England looking good and a fiver says italy beat scotland AND wales this tournament.

I think the winner will be pretty tight between france and england. I don't think Ireland are strong enough to challenge this year

yeh, i think it is gunna be a 2 horse race, between England and the frogs, England seem 2 be playing better as a unit, when they won the world cup all there experienced players were coming to the end of there international career, so they had to bring the new players in, so they had to take time to gel, now i think that is starting to happen

Scotland 20 - France 16

That was an amazing game. Second Half was really exciting. England were class on Saturday though.

It was a good game, Scotland always have a result like that in them. Will be interesting to see if they can keep it going.

Good result for England, as the whole team played well. Honniss seemed to be on our side as well half the time (Dallaglio and Dawson tries). Will be much tougher against teams with a better pack.

Ireland strugled against Italy but it was the first match and the win was more important. A team that will get better as the tournament progresses. Italy will upset someone this time round

I admit, I was expecting better of the French side in the match against Scotland. Scotland played well but France didn't on the day. Italy's disappointment is fully justified.

Totally different teams though, as far as I'm concerned. There were a couple of players from the world cup winning team that retired after that, then joined the 6 nations team, but those players tend to just go on for the last 20 minutes or so in a match, with the 6 nations team mostly being made up of different men to the world cup team.

haha...just pointing out that the 6 nations is a totally separate team, with a couple of guys taken in from the world cup as minor players (so its not like its the same team as the world cup, with a few yonger guys in). Sure you all knew that tho hehe

Yeah i think i'm just getting confused because we're agreeing. And judging by half time it looks like i'm right about the welsh beating you
