Tommy Bowe is likely to be out against france ffs .. arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Never mind at least we have France at home and hopefully beat them, France for me has long been our nightmare team, but we can and have beaten them so it is not impossible. It would be awesome if the grandslam was possible for either team playing the last match, so in that respect I want England to do well so we can beat them in the final failing that France V Wales for the decider.. Scotland may spring a few surprises too, and Italy are definately (sic) improving and may get a couple of wins even, that would be good for the sport. not long now.. wish England the best of luck, sorry to my fellow Welsh Celts but this is strictly selfish, I would love us to become grandslam champions against England on the last day of the championship, Ireland V England... winner takes all.
I've gone for Wales, more of out of wishful thinking than anything else! considering we're missing big names, anything could happen, and it probably will go wrong too!
Being an Englishman living in Wales then hope that England will win the championship if not the Grand Slam with a good win at the Millenium stadium on Friday night. Whilst on the subject, what a daft time to start the 6 nations. Gridlock in Cardiff again don't envy those poor souls having to get from Monmouth, Newport etc to Cardiff after a hard days work. Don't expect they will have sorted out the use of credit cards on the bridge by Fri? funny how they managed it for the rider cup?
When we get Ferris and Heaslip back it will be the best Irish pack of all time...We finally have a tighthead who can scrammage in Mike Ross! Ireland grand slam... please log in to view this image
Last Year we saw Wales' worst performance in RBS Six Nations and gifted it to Ireland but I strongly believe the Welsh spirit of 2009 will back this year! Hate to say it but think England will be beaten tonight by the Welsh!
I think Ireland have a very good chance at a grand slam this year (not saying it just because i'm Irish btw...... or maybe I am!). Two biggest threats in France and England both have to come to Dublin and I think that is a huge advantage. Injuries are a bit of a problem but it can be done. Head says France, Heart says Ireland!
