It would be nice for BOD to end with a win after Gatland so cruelly ended his lions hopes. Having said that if Wales win today I reserve the right to change my mind!

Hangover now fading, I honestly wish the French had pounded us, losing like that hurt more than the displays against England and Ireland.

I feel for you Duckman. I remember being a wales fan in the 80’s, 90’s and early 00’s. 2005 was like living in a dream. Its why I cannot ever expect to win at Twickenham. I have decades of experience of being happy with holding them out for 20mins!

Points advantage is very much in Ireland’s favour which means their destiny is in their own hands and they only have to beat a misfiring side who haven’t beaten any decent teams this year 😀 As things stand, Ireland also deserve to win overall based on the form they’ve shown and their consistency. Would be nice if Wales could pull it off though!!!

Can’t see Ireland as favourites myself. We have a shocking record in Paris and have lost there with better sides plenty of times. This year’s champions are the winners of today’s game.

If Ireland win in Paris, they’ll be champions I reckon a_a – it would be difficult for either Wales or England to rack up the points needed in the remaining games. England and Wales will win their last games. If England were to trounce Wales this afternoon, then they have a chance to make up the points but are away against Italy.

So the winners of today’s game will most likely finish with 4 out of five wins. Ireland will lose in France anyway, so it’s today’s winners that will take the championship.

THM will be along soon to tell you ireland are a good team full of lions and should be expecting to win.
I think a BOD inspired win is on the cards. But I understand your thinking, years of disappointment make it hard to believe.

There’s no doubt Ireland have the weaponry to beat France. One win there since 1972…well, as you say, hard to believe.

Couldn’t say who the favourites are but Ireland are the only team to currently have their destiny in their own hands which puts them in a much more commanding position compared to Eng and Wales (assuming a tightish game). Also, on how they’ve played so far the deserve the 6N win. Will they win? Who knows. An English win would be insuffereable is all I know 😀

Problem is Dan, the green machine is quite good at dropping destiny or kicking it away in the last few minutes. 😀 But yes, I suppose you’re correct – you might as well be able to decide it yourself rather than depend on results elsewhere.

Lovely day for Rugby at the Rec. Good game, too!

Fridge is full of Brains SA, Rev James and some Feeling Foul as well. Welsh cakes for tea later.

Still can’t see Wales winning. No idea why though, as it’s a great team. Just can’t see a win….

My prediction: Brown scores a try and Sparky tries to beat him up because of it.

Would that be before or after Punchy Farrell gets sent off, Kryton?

Just watching the build up to the game and I am always staggered by just how show-biz it has all become. I know there is big money involved these days, but really?!?! Hope the RFU have paid a decent price for the military band and the fire power!

Welsh players should have known better tan turning their backs on Care for that penalty.

Only 5 in it. The collars up brigade will be struggling to understand what’s happening.
