The 2015 Six Nations Thread
Surprised there isn't one of these already (or apologies if there is!). I can't wait for Wales v England next Friday evening, the nerves are starting to arrive already.
Who are we supporting and who do we think will win?

I think this year will be more interesting than the previous. I expect Ireland to win and Wales/England to battle it out for 2nd and 3rd. My predictions;
Ireland
Wales
England
France
Scotland
Italy

You might be spot on there. It'll certainly take somewhat of a miracle for an injury-ravaged England to beat a full complement of Wales players.
I'm going for:
Ireland (4 wins)
Wales (3 wins)
France (3 wins)
England (3 wins)
Scotland (2 wins)
Italy (0 wins)
with points difference to be crucial. My simulation has Wales on +17, France on +15 and England on +14.
This could be the third-to-last tournament on terrestrial TV with the organisers looking at a deal with Sky Sports or BT Sport from 2018 onwards.

It's a disgrace that Sky will be getting the Six Nations, and BBC is losing The Open Championship in golf, too. First the Ashes, then these two, what's next? Wimbledon?
Nothing's decided yet.
I wouldn't rule out a BBC-BT joint deal for the Six Nations, nor for Wimbledon for that matter.

I think you're overrating England a little there. Do you think they'll do the Grand Slam or will it be another year of 4 wins from 5?

Oh that would suck so hard! I'll just end up in the pub to watch there than buy a Sky subscription.
My predictions/hopes:
Wales
Ireland
France
England
Italy
Scotland
Suspect Wales may lose to Ireland, but still take the championship.

Whereas I've got Ireland winning but losing to Wales.

I don't really follow rugby much, so its kinda a guess based on what I remember from the last internationals, and a (probably safe) assumption that Italy and Scotland will take the bottom two spots as usual. To be honest I have a fear Ireland will win, but I don't want them to hence my picking Wales over them

Nobody is capable of a Grand Slam I don't think.
First team out - Wales team to play England:
Bench: Scott Baldwin, Paul James, Aaron Jarvis, Luke Charteris, Justin Tipuric, Mike Phillips, Rhys Priestland, Liam Williams
Certainly no surprises there.
1: Gethin Jenkins 2: Richard Hibbard 3: Samson Lee
4: Jake Ball 5: Alun-Wyn Jones
6: Dan Lydiate 8: Taulupe Faletau 7: Sam Warburton (c)
9: Rhys Webb 10: Dan Biggar
12: Jamie Roberts 13: Jonathan Davies
11: George North 15: Leigh Halfpenny 14: Alex Cuthbert
4: Jake Ball 5: Alun-Wyn Jones
6: Dan Lydiate 8: Taulupe Faletau 7: Sam Warburton (c)
9: Rhys Webb 10: Dan Biggar
12: Jamie Roberts 13: Jonathan Davies
11: George North 15: Leigh Halfpenny 14: Alex Cuthbert
Bench: Scott Baldwin, Paul James, Aaron Jarvis, Luke Charteris, Justin Tipuric, Mike Phillips, Rhys Priestland, Liam Williams
Certainly no surprises there.
If anyone is interested in a SuperBru prediction competition then please say and I'll set us up a TSR pool.

Not a bad starting 15 for us but the bench isn't the best. Glad to see Webb and Biggar ahead of Phillips and Priestland though. Also i think Halfpenny's position won't be guaranteed this year considering how well Liam Williams played during the Autumn tests.

The front row subs don't look all that great - when you consider England will probably have Tom Youngs, Alex Corbisiero and Kieran Brookes.
Wales by 10
Ireland by 12

The one time I take an interest in Rugby Union each year. Supporting England but have had a love for Ireland ever since I got them in a sweepstake in 2009. Was the last one to draw a team and won big time 
Just a shame I'll be working during most games
