6 Nations 2017

It might be the head ruling the heart, but I reckon Scotland have a great chance, and are cracking value at 9/2.

england have been poor in all 3 games despite w inning them. Scotland have got great attacking options and defend for their lifes when they are under pressure. I forecast a historic win.
 
Scotland win. England have been poor, slow and without flair.

Is the record of x wins on the bounce becoming a millstone? They appear to be almost playing with a mindset of don't lose rather than one of go out and win.

Slow and without flair, but won all the games... what does that say about the other Teams then?

Spent the week in Southampton. No one even knows there is rugby happening. Got back to Wales last night, the natives are going mental.... and that was 3 hours before kick off!

Scotland have a good record of upsets against England - will be a good game this afternoon
 
Hope it's a good a game as last night and the best team wins :thup:
 
If the injury to Farrell keeps him out then it could be a benefit. Put daily at 12 and may on the wing and that would add a bit more flair.

The bench will be the difference. England can bring on a full set of subs who arguably are as good, and in some cases better, than the starters
 
Wales were immense yesterday...

Well, that's what my sheep botherin' mate has been telling me this morning...
And, who am I to deny them their moment of glory..

Reckon they'll all be part of team ABE come this afternoon though ;)...

U find it strange he has an hour to kick off to prove fitness Greg ? surely if it in that dout u replace him .. not showing too much faith in replacements at out half ? Is Farrell THAT important ? if he is its not a good thing
 
Noo's the day an noo's the hour.

The thought of wee Scotland busting England's run is probably a tall ask, but, you never know.:one:

They would certainly be some dancing in the streets of Craiglang if it happened.

Different options, Farrell is safe, solid tackler, good kicker, Daly is more creative. Jones likes to keep people guessing, still 3.5 hours to go. Thing is, most of the replacement options do not weaken the team

The English half backs are, IMO, the weakness in the team.
Ali Price and Fin Russell are nippy opportunists and will keep them guessing.
