    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.

    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.

      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!)

            I think these apply to six Nations games only, pretty impressive

              @machpants in isolation that's impressive but hard to believe. No way you can make 160 tackles without missing one. I feel like this is one of those rugby stats that only means anything if combined with like two other stats and the eye test.

                Hamish Watson. What an absolute champ. Even though I suspect this is absolute bullshit the fact they used him as a poster boy for not missing tackles just warms the heart.

                  Maybe it's while at training.

                  On tackle bags.

                  Come on, surely everyone has had that coach that would occasionally whisk the tackle bag out of the way just as you dive?

                          Well if you had a face like that you'd want to hide it as often as possible.

                          Caveat: If you HAVE got a face like that I meant no disrespect.

                            Hurt it in training, an innocuous event. Practising going down like a wet balloon, probably

                                          @daffy-jaffy that's an ad for BT right? Cotter is the best rugby commentator in the world right now IMO. Prime and Premier have been pretty ordinary in my experience.
