Cheers LB, I was tempted to pick Nowell Rolling Eyes

by **Pal Joey** Sat 01 Feb 2014, 4:33 pm

ha ha. I've never seen nor heard of him. I wish him luck though.

I went a bit conservative with my picks. I hope 1/2p doesn't lose too many points for that lovely intercept pass.

True, I'm never any good at predictions.

However, do you think you could go through a day without being a complete idiot on this site?

You've tried to derail all the England threads. Can you just give it a rest until the end of the 6 Nations please?

Not sure what you mean Cyril? Im just posting some fairly innocuous comments stating my opinion. I think you are attempting to exploit the "zero tolerance" policy to have a go at leveraging a ban based on unfairly complaining about every opinion I have.

Either that or you're really upset that England lost and can't quite get over it and need someone to take a pop at.

I havent a clue who will win between Ireland and Wales. I reckon it will be the weekends standout fixture. However, given that Wayne Barnes is ref I feel it could make the game even more a lottery. Last time he reffed Ireland v Wales he gifted Wales a crucial match winning penalty for a legitimate Stephen Ferris tackle and even gave him a yellow card. Barnes also failed to red card Bradley Davies for a very dangerous tip tackle on Donnacha Ryan. Ireland's win ration with Barnes is very low.

Not sure Wales like Barnes either given that Gatland very vocally criticised him after the Australia game in Nov. My guess:

Ireland 19 - Wales 27 - and there will be some contraversy.
Scotland 12 - England 22
France 28 - Italy 6

What?

To be fair most of the scotish posters seem to believe their team will get stuffed too. Historically though England have struggled in the away fixtures and Im looking at some dirty weather forcasts which could blunt any attempts to play and show up Englands struggles at the set piece. The great equaliser.
Very few people can seriously be suggesting a scotland win as more likely though?

Ireland Wales is the choice game of the week. Thats where we are most likely to see big points won or lost in the prediction game. Really tough call.

by bedfordwelsh Tue 04 Feb 2014, 11:43 am

I have unashamedly gone with my heart for the Welsh win cos my head really doesn't know which way this will go.
