Going to my first 6N game at murrayfield against Wales in a couple of weeks and looking forward to it.

Always watched rugby on the TV (6N and world cups etc). Been getting more interested in it over recent years as interest in football tailing off.....

Scotland seem to have a better idea what they are doing at the moment so hopeful of some improvement.

Ireland or Wales to win it for me, looking forward to watching the game tonight.
 
I am hoping that Scotland will surprise this year........seem to remember saying that last year as well.
Edinburgh and Glasgow are getting a bit of depth now and I hope it will pass over to the international team.
Wales for the grand slam I think.

I am taking my 9 year old grandson to his first Six Nations game against Italy, hope it is not a wooden spoon decider again.

NWJocko......you will love the Wales game always a brilliant atmosphere for that one. Normally as many Welsh fans there as Scots.

Should be a really good game, Wales always bring a good vocal crowd.

Enjoy it pal, horrible kick off time though but i might still go to this one.

Cheers Val, really looking forward to it. Already up there for a couple of days so kick off time didn't matter, only be rolling into town after :cheers:
 
Ireland Grand Slam. Second place will be between Wales and England. France fourth, Scotland fifth shading it on points difference from Italy....
 
The nights out in town after a Scotland 6 nations match are epic and the Welsh a good winners or losers afterward. Could be messy

Could be only downside is it's a Sunday unlike our home game against Ireland which is a Saturday at 2.30pm and last weekend of the comp, could be a right messy affair in Edinburgh.
 
Jocko.
To really ensure you enjoy the full experience be at Rose Street [back of Princes Street] a few hours before the game.
When the pubs lesson off from manic to packed [about 2 hours prior to KO] start walking up to Murrayfield. It is about two miles.
The banter between the two sets of fans can be soooo funny.

On our match days up there always had a pizza at Bar Napoli on Hanover St before our customary stops for pints/whisky on route to the ground. Was normally mad dash back to catch train ;)

It's second rate (Northern Hemisphere) Rugby anyway! :whistle:

But FWIW...

Ireland
England
Wales
France
Scotland
Italy

In spite of being an ABE fan, I figure injury blighted England will find some team spirit and squeeze more results than they deserve. Wales will try to play their attractive running game and get controlled by spoiling tactics of Ireland (best all round game imo) and England. Who knows which flavour France will turn up on any day and Scotland/Italy are improving, but still not the same standard.

Since when has having a decent team spirit meant you dont deserve to win??? Enjoy beating the Italians lol
 
I'll go all out and say Scotland will take France down in Paris and beat both Italy and Wales in Edinburgh, we'll lose as always at Twickenham and take Ireland all the way in our last game but get beat by 3 for Ireland to clinch the 6 Nations.

Ever the eternal optimist ;)

Add to that, I think England may turn Wales over narrowly tonight.

Ireland
England
Scotland
Wales
France
Italy
