    Rugby Six Nations 2010

    So only a few days until the pinnacle of European rugby starts again. I for one cannot wait!

    So any predictions for the championship or this weeks round of games (Ireland v Italy, England v Wales and Scotland v France)?

    I have tickets to Scotland v England, I'll see whether I can go in my kilt but am fairly sure my girlfriends opinion. that my kilts are too good to wear to a game, wont have changed since last year!

    That must be one thing that Heritage of Scotland are good for - cheap kilts for the rugby. I take it you won't be waving an England flag while kilted? Could be a lynching.

    I have toyed with the idea of getting a cheap kilt (and a Royal Stewart would be a good 'country' kilt to go with my 'county' Black Country and 'community' Halesowen kilts. Got to admit though I am very happy with my current kilts because they are such good quality and I don't feel a burning need to get a cheaper kilt, maybe one day though.

    I think of myself as British (due to geography not historical political division) so I don't get too het up about England/Scotland etc but I do remember the last time I went to Scotland v England it was the best sporting atmosphere I'd ever experienced and there were several people wearing England jerseys and kilts and many more with flags without a problem. That's the beauty of rugby I feel

    Thought England did well this weekend, it wasn't an easy game against Wales - very entertaining (and it was nice to see a proper looking rugby kit for a change! If only all teams could stick to a strip like that! I was want to say that Scotland could be dark horses but France were just too powerful today. It does make me worry alot for next week though if France have such a dominant scrum and that is a possible area of weakness for Ireland

    They did but they also won the Grand slam last year, in the final match, in the final minute and the final kick of the game. That game was the stuff of legends and one of the best games of rugby I've ever watched. I think France may win this year, perhaps Ireland if they buck up their game. Scotland don't have much of a chance but then again stranger things have been known to happen.
