What are folks thinking for the next two games, England vs France, and Ireland vs Scotland.

Poor old Gatland, it’s hard to watch Wales at the minute.

Also, not an ounce of sympathy for Gatland…he’s a prick.

Not sure what he has on the WRFU that he hasn’t been given the boot. I guess it would cost too much to buy him out of contract. You’d think he’d have the dignity to step down at this stage.

Wet windy and sloppy day gives England an outside chance. But I don’t disagree France are another level. Over reliance on one player is a risk though.

Do you hate Gatland because of the Lions shit show?

Dupont is the big name but Aldrit is not only a fucking ride but possibly the best 8 in the world at the moment. Ramos is world class as well. Penaud is always dangerous and the pack are hard to beat.

The Lions shitshow amongst other things. He’s an immensely unlikeable man.

Have to agree on the result. France are on another level completely at the minute

Garland is an idiot. I don't know why he went back to Wales. The whole Welsh system is a mess an has been for a while

I think you called it earlier though. The system is a mess, and the talent simply isn’t there, like it’s been in years gone by. Losing Shaun Edward’s to France was also huge. It really would be impressive if he can turn it around.

Losing Shaun Edwards was the beginning of the end for Wales. The impact he has had on the French team shows how good he is as a defense coach. As you said no talent in Wales now so they are well and truly goosed!!!

Well that was quite the game! It certainly opens up the championship!

Fantastic game to watch, though such a mess at times. Marcus Smith a very lucky lad in the end.

Certainly makes the tournament more exciting now.

The fixtures align well for them. Only game left away is Wales, and they are absolutely abysmal. Scotland and Italy at home gives them a really good chance to compete.

Frustrating as it is to admit.

I think scotland might take it by tomorrow maybe 2 points judging on their last performance against england, and id say scotland have a very good chance of doing very well throughout the 6 nations.

You’re not wrong.

Same as the current debate at 10 for Ireland, competition brings out the best in players.

So far so good for the grand slam. Never easy but France now clearly beatable away. Scots can be tricky as we know from 17. Even Italy now a serious opponent so great for rugby.

Probably one of the best coaches in the world that got stabbed in the back by Eddie o Sullivan. Went on to coach Wales to phenomenal success.

Most top class coaches are pricks because the job requires it.

Don't confuse personality with ability.

20 lost games out of 26, 14 in a row, would imply that the ability is no longer there.

Agreed. Scotland at Murrayfield is a dangerous one if they get a head of steam, and the crowd behind them. Some serious operators in that Scottish team.

Ireland will need to be on their game.

I wonder is it simply loyalty to the past that the WRFU have kept him on. He looked so dejected and sad after the autukb internationals. I’m not sure I’d agree that it’s solely down to his ability. I don’t think there’s a coach in the world that could get this Welsh team competing right now.

Scotland has had 18 wooden spoons enough for each player to get their game spot on they have been inproving in the last few years so i think the have a really good chance they have it in them to win a good title this year , my money would be on them.
