You don't want to advertise a party like that, a load of Welsh people might turn up.

I am hoping tomorrows game here in Rome will be a good one, the Italian fans are swelling. I have overheard numerous conversation on the street about rugby, it's wonderful to see the game spreading so well here.
Though I am slightly envious of all you English, French, Irish and Scots, you have two incredibly exciting games tomorrow. We will be glued to the TV for those.
Ireland's new backbone look fantastic, Scotland's back three are too. England may have weakened without a specialist number eight? France have selected the team we thought they should...! It will be a titanic tussle..
Rome is a great city, the Vatican is as spectacular as I remembered from thirty years ago...! Lets hope the rugby is too.
Aren't we all lucky.

Well I'm glad to see that Ireland and Scotland are both going to win - judging by the votes ;
That'll suit me. I like wins but having to beat someone to get them is damned ungentlemanly!

Me too cheers. It's been very wet. Last nights nippers game was almost called off.
Lets hope it's not too wet for them to play some decent rugby...

The question is how many will England put on Italy?

To be honest (and this will wind up Jim Telfer) I'd be disappointed if we don't put 30 on them.Jimpy wrote:Cyril on 606v2 wrote:Cyril on 606v2 wrote:England to win by around 10.

well that was interesting, two out of three wasn't bad, disappointed Italy couldn't score and stay ahead. They looked rudderless.

Maybe they're in the process of carving up a new rudder for their next match?

I think England will win and comfortably. France I would think, will continue to improve and win their last two matches and Scotland proved that they might be mince at times, but they are always capable of dragging their oponents into an arm wrestle. I don't think we've seen the best from Wales, but I still think they may struggle against Scotland - who, if they show up, are capable of the win.

Agree mate, Scotland-Wales was the one I struggled with.
Scotland slogged it out in defence but really showed nothing else, imo. Whereas, I believe Wales still have more room for improvement.

Don't u think scotland can get back from last games 29pc possession to 60pc like last year . That's plenty of room for improvement !

Its not that arrogant when you look at precedent. England have only failed to score over 30 against Italy at home twice, and with much worse sides than this one. The 2011 game they nearly passed the 60 mark. Theres little evidence that Italy have improved dramatically since then, they beat France that year as well. The likely Italian side isnt greatly different from the 2011 one, aside form missing their best player. Honestly if Scotland can do it England should be expected to do it. If arrogance is being realistic, then yes we are arrogant.
England by 20

Even Wales managed to win by a 20 point margin.
So, England by 30 to 40.
