Well then folks, who is going to take the cups, these are my predictions.....

Magners = The mighty, great Ospreys!!!

Guinness Prem = Gloucester (Sorry GB72, Tigers will come 2/3)

Challenge Cup = London Irish

Heineken Cup = Wasps (I know a big shout)

Six Nations = WALES, WALES, WALES!!!!!

Cant wait for it all to get started this weekend.

Six nations - Ireland (they have to get it together eventually).

Guiness prem - Wasps

Heineken Cup - Munster.

Magners - Munster again (my team as my familly come from here, ought to support Sarries, being from the grand metropolis Watford, but can't).

htl i had to check what time you made your post to see how many you were likely to have had before giving your 6 nations tip ;)

My predictions are:

Magners- leinster or cardiff

Guinness premiership- Wasps

Challenge cup - Saracens

Heineken cup - Toulouse

Six nations - England (sorry I just can't go for anyone else)

Guiness - Leicester (Quins as an outside bet if it comes together)

Heineken - Toulouse (if dry), Munster (if wet)

6N - England (with Johnno at the helm, can it be anything else?)

Have to confess, I couldn't give a monkey's about the other trinkets.

Sorry to disagree HTL but watched Tigers in their warm up game on Saturday and they were looking on top form. Flood at fly half has given us pace and options that we did not have with Goode and with Ellis fit again and Crane and Croft in the back row we are looking a good bet for at least one if not more trophies.

With the backs that they have, Sale are my outside bet fot the Premiership

sale have got great backs but they ain't gonna get any ball with their forwards.

I hope flood stays at 10, its his best position by far. Is it true about you guys signing Caucau? If it is you will have some awesome wingers. Caucau + varndell to start and run rings round people then tuilagi to run over people.

Will be very interesting to see how my ospreys get on with such a young squad.

The rumours keep going about Caucau but no hard evidence of him coming to Welford Road. Would be a great signing if we can get him though.

Well then GB72, what you reckon of your first day back? Flood cant tackle and you are lacking direction so far in my eyes but they are showing signs of what your capable of.

Well HTL Gloucester have lost at home to the Tigers so your Premiership pick might need revising!!!!!???

My 7 year old has just started training at Aylesbury Rugby Club so looking forward to getting more involved in the 2nd best sport!!

Not our best performance but a win and no bonus point conceded away at Gloucester means that I will be going to work with a smile on my face tomorrow.

Yes the backs need some work but the dominance in the scrum and lineout means I remain hopeful of silverware this season. The Tigers are the team to beat now.

Feel sorry for Golucester, defeat at home this week and away at Bath next week. Cannot see them getting much out of that game either.
