Six Nations 2022

[MajorPom]

It has all the makings of being one of the best 6N.

However, the 6N never really works like that. 2021 had all the makings to be terrible - disrupted schedules, no crowds, people out with Covid etc etc. Yet, the rugby and matches were absolutely fantastic.

Good pick.

Think Wales & Scotland will push their opponents hard and both those games could be tight. Big shock could be Italy. They have been known to turn France over and generally at their best at the start of the 6N - just get worse and worse as the season goes on

France - have England & Ireland at home
Ireland
England
Scotland
Wales
The other one

I’m not sure how you can mention a team who haven’t won a game since 2015 and ‘best’ in the same sentence

[Dan54]

I would think Ireland will be close to winning it. Though with all the confidence I have got I am expecting this thread to self destruct halfway through the tournament!
France I know look bloody good, but I still get feeling they pretty capable of tripping up along way.
Was orirgnally thinking Ireland/Wales would be game of first round, but I actually thinking Scotland/England will be match of round, and wouldn't be real surprised if Scots snuck in.

Really looking forward to it, geez it all just reminds me how much I love the game,

It's called irony

I did say "their best". And the love of the underdog wants me to believe the drought has got to end.... someday.

[sparky]

Really looking forward to a feast of a Test Rugby ahead in the coming weeks. I'd love to say I had tickets to a match in each round, but I'll be watching from my sofa.

[mariner4life]

The draw is pretty even this year but i think Ireland has the best overall.

i hope it lives up to the expectations

You mean in the 6N right? Didn't they beat USA Canada and South Africa in 2016 or was I just dreaming it?

After extensive research conducted in unsanitary lab conditions with Welsh drinkers, I call bollocks! They just can't handle order...

@machpants bit late to be using their Brains

As long as they also scrap Jonathan "Space out wide....too late" Davies, I'll accept this...

The best place for Brains is down the drain. Fairly sure it’s still up there as the worst beer I’ve ever had.

Jeez that was quick. New Zealand are still awaiting clarification of the accidental offside law since 2017!

I don't know who to cheer for in this competition.

Maybe Scotland, but @MN5's Neuter like claims of their probably success gives me pause.

I used to support France but their pro comp makes it harder these days.

Maybe Wales. Yeah, I'll go for Wales.
