6 Nations

And we're all off and running!

Suspect there's not going to be a Grand Slam this year though. My prediction after the first weekend is England will probably take the championship, but us Irish will push them close

And Brian O'Driscoll running in another hat-trick in Paris would be nice before he hangs up the boots!

How the flip do you get tickets to these games grrr!
Or am I looking in the wrong places...

I've managed it one way or another over here for the last few years, but it's a nightmare for this campaign. New coach and retiring players mean all three home games have been sold out for ages. Even the Italian match!

The boys in Green are off to a good start, lets hope they can keep it up, onwards and upwards Wales next!

Yeah was pretty pleased, especially with second-half performance and despite losing O'Connell and D'Arcy before kick-off. I just worry about our back-row without either Ferris or, perhaps more importantly, Sean O'Brien

Wales looked shaky, although that might be defending champions nerves. Still can't believe that the club situation is not partly to blame

Saint-Andre will be gone before the end when they implode in spectacular fashion. Whenever the French RFU either persuade Noves to take the job or give it to Fabien Galthie then we're all in trouble

Murrayfield will have be the cheapest way to see England win this campaign I'd say

JockyScotchland is only half a tank away for me, closer than Twickenham and those london prices

Wales... hmm I've been before, don't need to go back... Ireland will cost you as much in guinness as the tickets

I am off to England v Ireland with work/customers. we sponsor it every year and got a nice table at the will carling suite ;-)

I used to live in Twickenham, 15 mins walk from ground and my old neighbour is social sec of the RFU....its who you know!!

good game in paris but no hooker should be making breaks like that on the wing with 5 mins to go. should have had it locked down and mauling forward with the phat blokes.

too much possession given away and France have the ability to punish any team!
