Rugby: 6 Nations 2010 Predictions

Predictions anybody?

EDIT: changed the title, might as well have one six nations thread for all the games.

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

Wales to win by a small margin.

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

Being Welsh, I am hoping my own side will continue it's winning ways against the foe. However I think England may suprise everyone and actually play some rugby.

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

Ah a fellow welshman.

I also see an English team coming out an playing hard for the first 30 minutes, after that I think the class of the Welsh side will take over and we'll win by 9 to 12 points.....hopefully :roll:

And Byrne has just been cleared to play, cracking

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

Wales to win.... Already booked control of the household telly in order to hurl terrible and non-sensical abuse at anyway who doesn't play 'proper' rugby.

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

The way it should be done.

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

wales of course

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

Line up:-

Wales: G Thomas (Toulouse, Captain); Luscombe (Newport Gwent Dragons), Shanklin (Cardiff Blues), Henson (Neath-Swansea Ospreys), S Williams (Neath-Swansea Ospreys); S Jones (Clermont Auvergne), Peel (Llanelli Scarlets); Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Davies (Gloucester), A Jones (Neath-Swansea Ospreys), Cockbain (Neath-Swansea Ospreys), Sidoli (Cardiff Blues), D Jones (Llanelli Scarlets), M Williams (Cardiff Blues), Owen (Newport Gwent Dragons).

Replacements: McBryde (Llanelli Scarlets), Yapp (Cardiff Blues), J Thomas (Neath-Swansea Ospreys), R Jones (Neath-Swansea Ospreys), Cooper (Newport Gwent Dragons), Sweeney (Newport Gwent Dragons), Morgan (Newport Gwent Dragons).


England: Robinson (Sale Sharks, Captain); Cueto (Sale Sharks), Tait (Newcastle), Noon (Newcastle), Lewsey (Wasps); Hodgson (Sale Sharks), Dawson (Wasps); Rowntree (Leicester), Thompson (Northampton), White (Leicester), Grewcock (Bath), Kay (Leicester), Jones (Sharks), Hazell (Gloucester), Worsley (Wasps).

Replacements: Titterrell (Sale Sharks), Vickery (Gloucester), Borthwick (Bath), Forrester (Gloucester), Ellis (Leicester), Barkley (Bath), Cohen (Northampton).


England have a couple of new caps. Watch for Tait - first time out for England.

The Welsh have a good solid structure and they are probably narrow favourites.

My prediction is the Wales will take the first half but England will take the game.

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

England to win, just, but win they will.

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

With those line ups I reckon Wales would win 11 - 9......

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

Good call from Bergs junior, he read the teams pretty well.

Well done England.

Jones was a pillock [and yes I know that there are 4 of them]

:lol:

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

Judging on the feelings of my friends and family, we can expect Alun Wyn Jones to face a firing squad at sunrise.

The stupid git :evil:

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

And tomorrow I'll be supporting the French, of course.

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

Is it me or has the standard of international rugby gone down over the years. The quality of handling is shocking...

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

Quiet in the cheap seats!!!

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

Sorry, my mistake, I was thinking of 2 years ago National day of mourning tomorrow I should think.

 

Re: Rugby: Wales Vs England

As an Englishman it is only fair that I support the country of my birth. However I have also lived in Wales and have some good friends there who made me feel very welcome. I plan to move back there with the wife soon to continue where I left off. My point is that if Wales is playing anybody other than england they will get my full support!!!
