2013 Six nations

[Rocker]

Something happens a guy when he pulls on the Welsh Red Jersey. Apart from Paris, a trip to Wales is just about the toughest opening match for anyone. Unknowns become Gods in the Red Jersey. If Ireland come home with a win, Ireland will fancy their chances in this Championship. A big IF to be sure, but we can hope......

At the moment, what happens when somebody pulls on the red jersey is that they play crap and then get injured. If Ireland have any aspirations of getting back to the level they were at a few years ago, they have to put a severely weakened Wales team to the sword.

I actually don't think there is much to choose between Wales, Ireland and England (home advantage might be really important in games between them) but I have France ahead of all three.

I'm getting the 6 nations excitement starting to build up now. Love this time of year - a great way to get over the post christmas blues.

yay - 12trees gets his debut...........probable to repalce Tuilagi .....which is a shame cos Id love to see him play inside Manu.......I really think that could be a world beating partnership....got to say 12trees is probably the best (engliand eligible) midfield distributor in the permiership

yup, that looks like being a really interesting partnership. Bit concerned about corbisero tho, reading between the lines it looks like being a bad injury. Hope I'm wrong, he's quickly growing into being a top class prop.
