I don't like Rugby because the referees are so poor. I must have seen at least 100 handballs in the last match I watched.

Robith, for the World Cup you wrote more about the pub you were in than about the All Blacks.

Union without the Southern Hemisphere is like a competition to find the best of the FA Cup losing quarter-finalists!

(But I might still have a squizz at your blog.)

Here's the fixtures:

http://www.rbs6nations.com/en/matchcentre/fixtures_and_results.php#QmridMADx0xRT

I think that the way that the fixtures pan out suits Wales. France might be shite but they remind me of the Sixth Sense in that they don't know that they're shite, especially at home with all this terrorist stuff going down. Wales and Scotland are the only two away games for France so whilst I don't fancy France to win it, I think that they may upset a few applecarts. I had a few bets on Scotland for the World Cup and was entitled to feel slightly unfortunate about the circumstances of their demise. Can they do better here? Possibly. England could have discipline issues again, depending on who is picked.

But I like the way that the fixtures have fallen for Wales so I'll go for them and Scotland.

I got a feeling England will Gran Slam it this year, new coach bounce and all.
The key games they have at home, Wales and Ireland. Makes a big difference I reckon.
Scotland off the back of their WC heroics will make for an interesting opener though.

1. Ireland
2. England
3. Wales (but only because they've got 3 games at home)
4. France & Scotland (decided on points difference)
6. Italy

Not the best scheduling as the England games against Scotland on Saturday and Ireland on the 27th kick off at 16:50, and the Wales game on 12th March kick's off at 16:00. All when we have home games kicking off at 3pm.

Clear and further evidence that the BBC, Sky, the RFU, IRFU, SRU and WRU hate us!

It looks like a weak bunch this year which probably means there could be an unexpected bolter. Please please dont let warrenball win it.

Are any of the coaches brave enough to try and throw a bit of caution to the wind and try and speed things up a little? Do any of them have the personnel?

Like Robith the Hartley thing bemuses me- does Eddie Jones want to go for some sort of 'nastiest ever' thing?

And what about the Lions tour? If things dont pick up in the NH can we just send a sick note?

No don't worry. This Saturday you'll be able to see the whole of Rangers v Kilmarnock before they switch to France v Italy.

I personally think that Scotland are a huge price 16/1 Ive got with Corals. If they are anything like they were in the world cup they could walk this.

That's Scotland though isnt it?
They put on braveheart performances like that against great teams which are unexpected and awesome. Then they'll get taken to the cleaners by Italy.

It works for them in football too.

ITV have England, Ireland and Italy home games, BBC have Wales, Scotland and France home games

Our game on the 12th will probably be moved for tv unless it has already as it's Brentford at home

I hear Eddie Jones has been down to Harlington to check out Karlinho - he's never met a player yet who in more then 10 years hasn't played a forward pass.

France
Ireland
Scotland
Wales
England
Italy

Poll: Remy - can he play in the playoffs - who's opening post is the best?

? Scotland were pretty average at the World Cup though. They pushed on off colour Australia all the way, but they were nearly knocked out by Samoa the weekend before!

Cheers Rob. I really enjoyed your preview and look forward to some further blogs from you during the Tournament.

I have tickets for England v Ireland at the end of the month but like you don't have high expectations of Ireland this time round. Would be great if they could make it 3 Six Nations Titles in a row but suspect that they are more likely to finish 3rd or 4th
