Cardiff will be bouncing off the walls this weekend and it’s st Patrick’s day.
They better not start making mistooks again.
Better not go shopping this weekend......

BBC Wales reckon there could be up to 250,000 people in the city centre.
Anyone who's been there will know it's a pretty compact city centre, so it's going to be pretty rammed everywhere. There'll be hoards of Irish in Cheltenham all week for the Gold Cup, who will likely be stopping in town on Saturday en route back to the Emerald Isle....
Me? I'm staying home.....

Should be a good closing weekend. Mathematically there could be a few winners if results go right.
If England beat Scotland and get a bonus point, doesn't matter if Wales win. But I reckon the England v Scotland game will be a tight affair.

I would love Wales to win (again), obviously, but as always I would also like to see a good match. It is far better to get a defeat off a match well played by both sides than your side not turning up or the other went home early.
Why do we always say that as if we are the ones playing the game?
Think there was a pundit on one rugby show saying that a forward in a full on match walks away at full time with a body that has been through the equivalent of a 40 mph crash in a car with no seat belt (quoting some sport physician I think). As fans we just boo or cheer.
JPR has just turned 70.
I am off the pop now but it is an absolute superb atmosphere, been there for many a match and win or lose, a great time is always had by all.

It's a mouthwatering game in Cardiff, so many good games against the Irish have been played out there. Dreadful weather forecast for Saturday and the run up with Storm Gareth bearing down on the UK. Funny how the Irish met office should give the storm a Welsh name. I doubt very much that the roof will be open, it's going to be a fantastic atmosphere in the Principality, the best stadium in the world.

Best stadium.....? for atmosphere perhaps.
The UK as a whole does so poor in the food steaks at a stadium it should be outlawed. I have been to lower league clubs that cater far better than the Millennium. I have taken a hotdog back at the Mill.... Principality. The poor girl wasn't sure what to do she had to call a manager, she said people just ate them and didn't complain. Fair do's, money back or something else.

Have to disagree Greg. We've gone backwards this year. Injurys havent helped in saying that. I fear a heavy defeat for Scotland this weekend. Just aswell I'll be in the local Rugby club so the beer will ease the pain a little data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Russell needs to be absolutely on fire, Kinghorn (If he's fit) will be key (as he has been all season, and last, come to that) and Townsend MUST start Watson at 7 - for my money, he almost played himself into MOTM on Saturday despite starting on the bench.
This Scotland player's stats were just ridiculous against Wales
I think England will believe they'e already got the 5-points, so if Scotland turn up, they could do a number on England.

Ah Mav me old mucker, how goes it?
Yes, I was trying to be kind, but Scotland are not doing that great this year, same with France really.

Haven't turned up for any game including Italy. I agree Watson must start. I don't see it with Kinghorn at 15 his tackling and positional sense is poor for an international standard 15. He's out injured anyway which is a shame as I'd have him on the wing(more dangerous)
