Re: Six Nations 2013 Build Up Thread
SL's biggest strength so far to me is how we have finished every 6n' or tour he has coached so far. from a relatively average starting point we have allways consitantly got better and better the longer we have stayed together. This is so key and why i havent been so confident as an england fan for 10 years!

Re: Six Nations 2013 Build Up Thread
if wales can flick the switch v ireland and win a game- yes i agree. but the same goes for ireland as well..
all the same i am not trying to be cocky- i am fully backing england this time.. I havent in the past. I am not normally this confident-And this is not just due to the kiwi win.

Wales' first game is crucial. It doesn't matter who it's against. Lose it and we will end up 4th.

You are probably right. But how many of the first team players will be 100% match fit for the 6ns.
After all that could make a big difference to how Wales finish in this years 6ns. Dont you think?

Yes I do, however it's amazing how well the top players play in adversity. Remember Phillips in the centre for the Lions? He had no right to do so well. Shingler playing open side and having a blinder, despite him being a second row/blind side.
However our weakness at second row will surely be cruelly exposed. Surely.

Wales will beat Ireland on the first day
Don't mind any provincial form
Don't mind wins over Fiji and an exhausted Argentina
Ireland can only beat teams that are significantly worse than them in terms of ability these days under Kidney. Any team capable of scoring tries and that can read obvious attacking moves and make tackles will beat us, even if they don't play that well.

I do not think Ireland are that much of push overs. They can beat any team on form and a favorable home draw? I think they will be way to up for it to be pushed aside. I can feel something brewing this year.
Declan Kidney is not that bad of a manager he's C.V proves the titles he has won with Munster and Ireland. Ireland could not have wont the GS under Eddie. Maybe he's a bit too conservative but, I feel still the man for the job!

Re: Six Nations 2013 Build Up Thread
2 sunday games for ireland. deep joy. will the schedulers never learn. the atmosphere is always muted at 6 nations sunday games.
ireland on paper have some very good players. Last chance saloon for Deccie we simply must show it on the pitch. It was nice to beat Argentina in a good performance but it means nothing if we are 3rd of 4th in the 6 nations which i think is a travesty given the resources at his disposal.
stating the obvious but the wales game is massive win that and confidence could flow and we have the big two at home.

I really can't predict which spot in the table we'll be at the end. Everything will depend on the first match vs France. All I know is for the first time probably we have the team to beat everyone else, bar France but only if they'll perform at thir top

Re: Six Nations 2013 Build Up Thread
I am generally happy with where England are at coming into this 6N and provided we don’t get down to an injury induced 3rd XV situation between now and 2nd February I think we should show up ok. I don’t see us getting humped by anyone. While France are the team to beat, they just don’t travel so well to Twickenham and I believe that Ireland away in Dublin will be the toughest match. Apart from the odd win, they have had the wood on us going all the way back to 2003. My great fear is that they will tap into their primeval energy supplies for this one and come out firing and win all the collisions.
One way we might be able to counter this is with a 6 - 2 forwards backs split. I say we take as much as possible the starting side from the NZ game and then have Marler (assuming Corbs can play), Hartley, best TH (Wilson?), Lawes, Haskell and Clark on the bench to ensure that we're blasting hard in contact through to the 80 minute mark.
Youngs and Burns to provide backs cover from the bench. With most of our backs being able to cover an additional position or two we could probably get away with this.
Still this is the game I fear the most.

Yeah Ireland and England have had some crackers in the last few years. It always seems to be one team giving the other a hammering. Like 2012 Eng 30 -9 Ire or 2007 Ire 43 - 13 Eng. Cant Wait this year! I have a strong feeling Ireland will be more than well up for this one!

There is absolutely no question that my boys the mighty paddies are the dark horses this year .
Have you been watching Ulster lately? Even taking away a man who will unfortunately never be an O'Pienaar, there's some serious talent there. Anyone beating them in Dublin will have taken a huge scalp.

Since when has going well in the HC been connected to the 6 nations?
Welsh teams have yet to win the HC yet they keep Brasso going by the amount of polish they buy to clean their 6 nation’s medals and trophies.

I mean that there is no connection, but before are provinces were doing well and we would have an average 6n's. Now they aren't doing well I hope that it doesn't rub off and we have an even worse tournament than usual.

What would people prefer?
If their own team lost their first match:
a grand slam for another team, or
b the last weekend set up with 5 teams on two wins from 4 and all having a chance of the championship

I agree that it was a great win for England beating the AB's but they did lose all other games to good sides(Australia and South Africa)? that's not very consistent enough for me to put them as winners. France are the best side in NH at the moment. They are very strong and very consistent recently. Logic says they are the better bet.

I hope so fan, after our last few results we'd fancy taking it again.
Sadly with our lock crisis and not having a coach and all I just can't see how we'll beat Ireland, we'll lose the arm wrestle and our backline won't have enough of a platform to do enough damage. Lets hope I'd wrong!
For the first time in years I'm worried about the scrum though, we have no engine room!

You must remember we are missing O Connell, Ferris, and Tommy Bowe. Although I like the youth in our squad coming through. Did anyone see Zebo today for Munster?What a hat trick! Rob Kearney and Gilroy will also be very dangerous.
I think Wales at home is the one i'm most worried about. Win it and we will have the momentum lose it and Kidney will be torn apart. I believe we are stronger than most years in terms of the set up with the mix of youth and experience. Although there is a signs of Optimism for this years tournament. The proof is in the results and another average championship will send Kidney to the Guillotine.

Re: Six Nations 2013 Build Up Thread
I do think that the first game of the 6ns is going to be hard for every team to be honest. Seeing that no team will have played together since the Ais. And what with injuries taking the toll in the last 2/3 weeks, it will be intersting to say the least.

I see your point but 3 players from 3 differing positions can be replaced so much easier than 5 from 2 similar positions, we have the worst lineout in the top 12 of world rugby and now have lost all our lineout locks, plus the back ups!!
We could end up with Shinglar and King/Coombs at lock, all 3 players who have played 6 at regional and very limited gametime at lock, not to mention 2 debuts and no muscle!

AW Jones Luke Charteris, Bradley Davies and Ian Evans are all currently injured thats the big ones. Dan lydiate is a huge player for us and he is out too but we have cover in Ryan Jones and Shingler. Priestland wasnt in his best form, but is also injured.

Re: Six Nations 2013 Build Up Thread
Jones and Mitchell just returning from injury, Jenkins hasn't played since the AI's.
4 first choice locks.
I'll have a fiver says Hibbard doesn't get past the 20 min mark.
Lydiate still out.
RP out, Hook just back from injury.
Roberts getting there but not 100% yet.
Sounds a bit picky I know but we saw so many similar issues in the AI's, Jenkins, Warbs, Roberts unfit, no Jones no Lydiate etc...
I'd say we're missing 5 key players, all forwards, we'll have kids at lock, and no muscle in the engine room = worrying!

Re: Six Nations 2013 Build Up Thread
well england arnt missing anyone. we have 2 players for each position from what i have seen recently.
I really hope farrell gets the nod this 6n's.. I think he has it all. Whatever certain posters say.. and he has the guilt edged mental game.. which is a must for the kicker if you wanna be a top side..

Agree'd Myster
Although isn't the backline being starved of quality ball worrying you? Tuilagi commands any ball that goes wide, and Farrells distribution game is hardly fluid.
