My Ranking of how the 6 Nations Teams did in the AIs

First topic message reminder :

Now that England have beaten the World Champions, and Wales have been edged out by the Aussies, the rankings have altered slightly. So here goes:

1) England
2) France
3) Ireland
4) Italy
5) Scotland
6) Wales

In first place England, a hammering of Fiji was carried out before being narrowly defeated by Australia and South Africa in games that they should have done better results-wise, particularly in the game last week. But then they hammered New Zealand and stunned the rugby World.

Then I think France were the second best NH team in the Six Nations. They comfortably beat Australia and Argentina before beating Samoa by a narrow margin. France will be delighted with the way the Australian game went.

Then Ireland, beaten by the Saffers by a four-point margin and then hammering Argentina. Only played 2 official games, surely that is a bad thing for Ireland.

Surprisingly it's then Italy in fourth, a decent five point win over Tonga was followed by a hammering by the All Blacks. They'll be pleased by the performance in the final game though, they were so close to upsetting the odds against Australia.

Wales will be most disappointed. The Grandslam Champions were beaten and outplayed by Argentina, Samoa and New Zealand. Then beaten by Australia, 0/4.

Scotland will be very disappointed, a brave and courageous performance against New Zealand - scoring three tries - was then turned into another brave performance against the Saffers where they were beaten by 11 points, a respectable margin. They finished by losing to Tonga, a bitter disappointment for them.

Based on the AIs, I think the Six Nations will finish like this:

1) England
2) France
3) Ireland
4) Wales
5) Scotland
6) Italy

It's a tough day for you isn't it. Why not ho out and walk the dog, marvel at the wonders of nature, smile at a pretty girl then pop down the pub for a pint of bitter




For what it's worth though yeah there's 3 team's that should be very happy with the ais showing a move forward and at least one unexpectedly good result. Wales will be chasing those

It's a shame we're not playing you till next year then.

He meant one pint. Not eight. Now you'll be erm-ing all night.

It's a misquote though. I was commenting on the top two. 6 is usually enough for me.
