will be watching at least some of the games - kilted - at an Irish pub in Philly.

While I will always support Scotland, history tells me that winning is not often an option, so I will gladly support anyone who is playing England.

Not an England rugby fan? The English did invent the game so they do get some credit.

Speaking of which, is Wilkinson still out for England after his knee surgery?

Dinna get me started!
In general I dislike all things English. It's only natural. In the specific I get on fine with many - like my mother, my wife, my inlaws, almost all my British friends, cadburys, cornish pasties etc etc.
(It's really a "what have the Romans ever done for us?" thing)
Luckily, I dont personally know the sports teams, so they fall under the general category.

I support England just because I am English. The beauty of being British is that if your home team gets knocked out, there is often another British team still going to support, and if they are all out, with a little bit of luck Ireland is still there to support.

Yup

. For me Ireland first (for obvious reasons), Scotland second (cos I live here) and then whoever plays England

. Lovely start for Ireland against France! Still not sure they should be playing in Croke Park though...

Cymru Am Byth - need I say more.....

Sorry but it has to be Wales 100%......then I am torn between Scotland and Ireland, but since I like Scottish history more, I guess I will go with Scotland.

Didn't Wales play well against Scotland last Sunday....let's hope they play the same way against England next week and keep it up for that little bit longer (such as 20 minutes -

)

http://www.rugbyzone.com/default.aspx has the best coverage and pay per view options.

http://www.rbs6nations.com/en/home.php will be good for fixture info and recaps.

I would prefer to order Sentanta sports for the month, but $15 for one channel seems like a waste and I would need a digital box as well.
