"OMG Trev, I nearly missed it as the cycling tours are also on, it’s strange times as they don’t usually clash in a “normal” year   "
i've given up on the tours this year... oerlapping did nothing for me, and the cancellation of paris-roubaix was my final straw......
i'll watch the rugby, but the UFC is also on tonight... and the first proper weekend of us college football! |

I get that, Paris-Roubaix is my favourite one day race of the year, and yes it’s quite confusing with the Vuelta overlapping the Giro for a few days, we only get to see the last 50-55k prioritising isn’t easy when it’s all on at the same time |

"And Exeter v Wasps at 6!
The wasps play 2 miles from me, I know one of the entertainment managers, free tickets if I wanted to go sometime
I’ll remember that as I’m about 4 miles away
Anytime "
Thank you  x |

"Sadly no Roubaix this year, and Flanders coverage was limited due to the clash with the Giro."
The Giro has been quite an event tbh, I mean it’s all down to tomorrow’s TT, I need an excited hand clapping emoji |

One sport that will suffer from the lack of passionate fans. Unlike a lot of sports rubgy is one where that extra boost of adrenaline and heart can make all the difference.
Glad to see international rugby back on our screens too |

Wales , England , France all to win £60 acca pays just over £130. Start of the 6 nations had £100 on England at 4/5 to win the 6 nations.Just a gut feeling but I think England are going to win it. |

After last weeks games, I can see France beating Ireland, will be a great game. A little worried that England will be a bit rusty due to not having a warm up match... personally I'd love to see a France-Ireland draw |

. For me France have been the surprise package of the tournament I believe they won a under 21 World Cup and most of those players are in this team with a view to winning the next World Cup which I believe they are hosting.Yes England will be rusty but it’s against Italy who are the worst team ever in the history of the 6 nations and I fully expect England to win and score the 4 plus try’s for the bonus point. |

I agree, that's what should happen. I just hope the discipline is good. |

Agree completely, everyone else manages to do their jobs without a fake round of applause being played.
Scotland playing well so far. |

Didn't last long as Wales never showed up apart for couple times in the whole match. Scotland deserved a much higher score. |

Absolute snoozefest that. Like in the NFL (when they take a kneel down late in the game) it's an absolute farce that a team can run the clock down by wasting ages kicking a penalty. It's already bad enough the ball spending half the game being booted into the stand/or being fed into scrums.

Worrying they still can’t convert good possession and territory into points |

"All down to Ireland now...
Come on the men in green
What they need to win! Bonus point or win by 7 points?
Bonus point win or a win by 7 points or more "
A bit of a kicking game and penalties too maybe. |

"Fantastic pace from both teams...
At this early stage it's been the best game so far.
Early stage? It’s the last set of games  "
Cough cough , yes indeed but the game could have changed and turned out bad, hence my comment of the early stage of the game. |

They're a very different side now, many coming up from the "world Championship winning" under 20s. |

As an Irishman I'm obviously gutted, but WHO in their right mind thought Jacob Stockdale was a number 15? He knows how to score tries. That's what he does.
He can't defend, he can't catch a ball, he probably doesn't even know his name is Jacob, but he is a fantastic try scorer.
WHY OH WHY... |

With the exception of Cyril Baille for Jefferson Poirot in the forwards, Vincent Rattez for Damian Penaud in the backs and Matthieu Jalibert for Arthur Retiere in the replacements, it's the same French team today that played and lost to Scotland in March.

It's a shame that Ireland haven't put it together tonight though. I thought it would be closer.
England surprisingly but thankfully are champions

Reminded me a bit of Englands performance in the world Cup final. Thete to play but just didn't seem interested.
On a brighter note, only 14 weeks till the next 6 nations! |

Even better than that, Autumn Nations Cup starts in 2 weeks - like a mini six nations with the addition of Fiji and Georgia |

. Will Italy win a game somehow I don’t think so.Not sure what they bring to the table apart from a nice national anthem.I mean what do you learn by losing most games by 30 plus points |

Was the four nations to start with, if you go back far enough France joined in 1910 and Italy in 2000 I think. |
