Six Nations 2017. Who will win?
Should be the tighest Championship for a good few years. England must be hot favourites but could the Irish sneak it. Yes. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7In all seriousness, we've a few injuries to key players which is never good going into these tournaments. Can't see past England winning though. I'm voting Ireland, more out of hope than expectation. England are definitely favourites but could come down to the last game at the Aviva - which I have tickets for!//static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/clap.gif//static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/clap.gif//static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/clap.gif Ireland is to unpredictable you never know how they're going to play. They could win the whole thing, or lose to the Scottish. I think England will win - just too strong and bursting with confidence.
BUT - what a start from Scotland!!! Yes I think England will win it. Great entertaining game. England France a little plodding at the moment, something of an arm wrestle. Let off for England. Spedding and Picamoles, in particular, were superb for France.
No one stood out for England for me, at least until the subs came on.
We've still got to get past the Italians tomorrow, but really looking forward to next Saturday - I finally landed a pair of tickets for Wales v England. Should be interesting as Mrs BT Bob is from Watford.... data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Just on way back from Murrayfield, great game but bad result for Ireland. We took Scotland too lightly in the first half and paid for it Handling issues let England down tonight, but ultimately came away with the win. France were much better than they were last year, but they still need to improve.
I'm hoping this was England's toughest test and they will improve as each game goes.
