Like everyone else, I expect England to come out all guns firing after beating the all blacks, but we travel to Dublin where we have not done well of late and France are playing well. I think England to win, by a narrow margin, and no grand slam.

Yep. Sounds like a good call. Joe Launchberry man of the tournament.

See Wasps last night?
Only caught the last 10 when we were hanging on and I thought we were gonna blow it. I wish they wouldn't put games on on school nights, I tend to forget.:confused5: Heard Billy V got injured, how sad for the Saffasons.
Tommo, brave call putting Wales above Ireland given their current form.

England
Wales
Italy

Since my countrymen are useless for everything but drinking Buckfast by the gallon, i say France

Without their English/Bawbag coach I don't think they'll fare too well.
PS, If that is the order in which you like your 6N brethren, aren't you a little wrong in putting Ireland so low down, after all the Scottii are an Irish tribe who displaced the Picts in Scotland.
I think I can confidently predict that Scotland will successfully retain the trophy they won last year! :crying:
If England live on their thrashing of a weakened AB team then they are in for a huge shock. Still, they do have form for believing their own publiityXD

Good post for both paragraphs. However, England have moved on lots since the "Grand Slam 90" t shirts. Scotland haven't.

England top but no grand slam, hopefully Mike Brown will get a start at full back
Can't see him pushing Foden out, but I agree, I'd like him to get a chance.
What baffles me most is Strettles selection. 1 try in 2 years is it? I know it doesn't exactly help playing at boring Sorrysons, but????? Varndell's omission is a howler IMO.
