The 2015 Six Nations Thread

Lucky you, although I can't say I like the idea of sitting in a corner, it must be the worst view of all. I'm personally a second-tier person though, you seem to get a bit of a better view.

In the bottom tier, the rake was so shallow you barely needed the steps. And from what I've heard the third tier was so steep people were actually injuring themselves.
Best view I've ever had was probably Twickenham, 2nd tier, right at the front, on the long side of the pitch.

I definitely want to watch a few games of this but don't know much about Rugby.

As for the winner, I'll go with France (probably proves how much I know).

I've only heard about it from commentary and have never gone looking to read it or for the details. It's understandable though if noise is reverberating around inside.

Ah ok. I kinda get the idea of the physics involved, but just surprised it would have a noticeable impact on the ball.

Well I got hooked on rugby by the 2011 Six Nations. I didn't know anyone in the team at the start (maybe Jonny Wilkinson, perhaps) and could recognise most of the names by the end, to the point where I had to make a decision about a club to support.

The Millennium Stadium is a funny ground. Apparently structurally it's a bodge too, done as cheaply as physically possible, what with including a bit of the old ground at one end (which now looks really out of place).

Sounds good. I've only been on an end in the Twickenham second tier, although I was along a side at Wembley and that was great. (I think it was a Club Wembley seat but when Saracens booked the ground they didn't bother with that sort of thing.)

Just curious, are you a Sarries fan?

I generally prefer side seats because you can see more of what goes on.
But I can cope with end seats (my family were in end seats at Vicarage Road, but we're now along the side at AzP. Apart from the sunshine, I prefer it that way.)

Yep. You too by the sound of it.

Are there many seats in the ends at Allianz Park?

There's a single demountable stand at each end, and they're not too tall either. Don't know exactly how many there are, but seen a guess of 1,000 each for North and South. I personally think that's a bit optimistic.

Come on Ireland
