    Ireland
    England
    France

    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

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

      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.

          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.

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

            i hope it lives up to the expectations

              Yep that’s half the teams in the six nations. Scotland, Wales and Italy are the other ones.

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

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

                                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.

                                  Go for Scotland, every single other nation, without exception, is packed full of fluffybunnies. It’s an easy decision.

                                    Being really childish here, but always want Ireland to lose while that fluffybunny Sexton is in the team.

                                    I tend to go for Wales then Scotland as they generally play the game as it should be played. Reason Wales is top for me is probably down to the Welsh fans who are always great to have a beer with - never been to Murrayfield though.

                                    My take is any of the 5 sides could win this year and @MN5 has point that Scootlinnd has as good a chance as anyone. Bring it on.

                                      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.

                                      Being really childish here, but always want Ireland to lose while that fluffybunny Sexton is in the team.

                                      Support Scotland, England, France, Wales, Ireland in that order.

                                      Absolutely no need to support Italy as they never win.

                                      Wales & Ireland are interchangeable depending on recent interactions with fans & All Black results.

                                        Setxon and Farrell have the same intense dislikeability factors ... "that face", petulant, yet pretty decent players? Thinking out loud, add Itoje too

                                        Have to admit the 6N has grown on me over the years. Competive, but the quality is better too. In order for me -

                                        1. Scotland - like how they play, Finn Russell, Hogg, loosies etc (they won't win, maybe 2/3 though)
                                        2. France - soft spot for them since the mid-80s, always lots of talent even if unharnessed. Love to see their renaissance at national level continue
                                        3. Wales - mainly because I like Wayne Pivac and his attempt to de-Gatlandise them (let's see if it works though!)
