Six Nations 2009

Well it's that time of year where we get obsessed with men playing with odd shaped balls.
I of course, will be following England.
Wales are favorite some how 'cos it was only a few years ago and they were dreadful.
Latest odds with 10mins to go to kickoff are
Wales  7/4
France  3/1
Ireland  3/1
England  9/2   
Scotland  12/1
Itally  100/1

England's game vs. Italy is on BBC 1 at 2pm.

I dont think you can dive in rugby

I dont think you can dive in rugby

I meant the football world cup

Edit

just realised you were joking

I dont think you can dive in rugby

I thought it was actively encouraged?

Wales to win it again , with probably Ireland second.

7-0 first two mins. (Eng vs Italy)

I thought it was actively encouraged?

:

Eng 22-6 Italy HT

England were lucky if they play like that against Wales they will get battered, Italy were making stupid, amatuer mistakes.

GET IT!

Ireland demolish France! Feeling good about this 6 nations all of a sudden

One thing to say COME ON WALES .

Wales played well to day so did Ireland yesterday, as I said earlier it's between these two with Wales to come out on top. After watching the England V Italy game I'm going for this finish.

Wales
Ireland
France
Scotland
England
Italy

I dont think there will be a grand slam this year but i think Wales will win it, you gotta support the team in red dont ya

Not all the time 

NO,England all the way!!especially against the jocks and taffs!!!!

Still Wales and Ireland to fight it out for the top spot.

Ireland to hop off the Scots tomorrow. GO ON THE GREEN MEN!!!!!!!!!

well wales second string got a get out of jail card today not 100% but I think wales need to beat ireland by 25 points next weekend to win the championship so I think its irelands first six nations championship last won five nations in 1985 so cant wait hope its a good game got my ticket so off to cardiff next weekend

It will be a great game mate,and Wales to come out on top , did you say you were a Scrarlet?

yeah 2 min away from new stadium dont get to go as often as id like go on rub it in you proberly beat us nearly everybody has this season 

No mate , wont rub anything in . Cardiff blues myself.   We won today with 10 changes, but wish we had put out a full strength team.

haha i got a few jack mates and they often take the micky but i always say yes you maybe better than us but it took two teams to make a good one

My tele seems to be acting up, After 25min, ENGLAND 17 - 0 France

My tele seems to be acting up, After 25min, ENGLAND 17 - 0 France

England 29 - 0 France at HT!

And at the Final whstle England 34-10 France.
Bit of a shock?

England have been threatening to do this for a while.  France were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Bit like Manure yesterday. 

Good game with the Taffs and Paddys :

If Ireland win England may get 2nd and the Irish get Grand Slam.

GETTTTT INNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, Congratulations to Ireland, Grand Slam wnners.
A poor England finished second, after scoreing more and conceeding fewer than another.

But even still. I'm still smiling

Went to the very last kick ,my heart just loves the excitement. Well done , great achievement and I'm smiling.

Well done Ireland.

Even though I don't really like Rugby, I was still gripped by the closing stages of the match.

Top stuff.

Well done to Ireland , a well deserved win in a really tough game , so congratulations on your Grand Slam and Triple Crown.

We will be back next year.

Nice one Gareth

Not a big Rugby fan myself but I would watch all the Ireland matches. It was sooooooooooooooooooo tense in the last couple of minutes. I really thought before O'Gara's drop kick that that was it and we had lost. But thankfully O'Gara came up with the goods to put us in front. I could have killed Paddy Wallace for giving the penalty away in the last minute. I think had it been Henson (no harm to your man Jones because he scored every other penalty that he had) the ball would have gone over the bar cause he just missed one from 50 yards by a matter of centermeters and this one was from 48 yards. Anyway, well done to Wales for putting up a great fight. But I'am so delighted that we won. Heart was pumping so quickly but when Murphy ended the match by kicking it out, I jumped up and started singing. I have never reacted that way to a Rugby match

A great day for Ireland, I am delighted but my nerves couldn't take that kind of finish again. Hard luck to Wales, the game was 50/50 towards the end.

Didn't Italy get hammered 50-something by France?

Well done ireland, sooo proud that they won, what a great achievement for them and the country!

is it right that no team has ever won the six nations like twice in a row?
Gutted that Wales couldnt stop Ireland from winning the Grand Slam but credit where credit is due, Ireland deserved it
at the end of the day. 61 years since they last done it, but look out next year, Wales will be out for revenge 

Jesus, what a game that was!

Wales were brilliant, some very hard hits...............but i think the Irish just about deserved their win and place in Irish Rugby history.

I feel like i have just woke up from an autopsy, very sick today......all worth it though, and i'm sure i will have more reasons to celebrate at 6pm this evening

What an absolute cracking match.  My heart was in my mouth with that last kick but the bar I was in just erupted when it dropped short!!! One of the best nights ever, as I'm sure it was for alot of people in Ireland

All credit to Wales as well, they came back hard after our two tries.  Giving away silly penalties didn't help either but thankfully it didn't matter in the end.  O'Driscoll, O'Gara, Tommy Bowe, O'Connell and every other player in that green shirt...I love you all

I'm well pumped up for the reds match today.  Hopefully the euphoria is still there at 6 tonight and it'll round off a great sporting weekend, for all Irish reds especially
