Scotland are by far the most frustrating team to watch. Always get close but that's it
They won that game by about 10 points, it was just that the ref screwed them over. you can't really blame scotland for that, I thought they were by far the more enterprising and entertaining team.

I know, part of the frustration is the fact we're unlucky a lot of the time too
Prediction - England, I think will win this year. So many strong players, an alloy of veterans and youngsters. Jonathan Joseph George Ford in combo with veterans like James Haskell, Mike Brown and the two Vunipolas. Then add captain Robshaw and Nick Easter and there you go.
I support Wales through and through. Cymru am byth.

Haha! Controversial for you if you're a Wales supporter -- we do have a good side that's for sure as long as we don't get knocked out again like Brown

The Vunipolas are not exactly veterans!
I was at Twickenham for Mako's first Premiership start in 2012. By the end of the year he was starting the second Lions test!

Haha, I don't wish England or France any luck. Of course I want to see Wales come back and beat all other teams to win the 6 Nations like they did in 2013. I am speculating based on the players at England's disposal. The English are quite likely to win it with names like Joseph, the Vunipolas, Haskell, Twelvetrees, Care, Youngs, etc. on their side. Anyway, Cymru am byth. Wales, get on the pitch in Paris and God-willing, snatch the win tomorrow! Amen.
Ireland team for England:
Bench: Sean Cronin, Cian Healy, Martin Moore, Iain Henderson, Tommy O'Donnell, Eoin Reddan, Ian Madigan, Felix Jones
England team for Ireland:
Bench: Tom Youngs, Mako Vunipola, Henry Thomas, Nick Easter, Tom Croft, Richard Wigglesworth, Danny Cipriani, Billy Twelvetrees
Of the two, I have to say Ireland look the better team on paper.
1: Jack McGrath 2: Rory Best 3: Mike Ross
4: Devin Toner 5: Paul O'Connell (c)
6: Peter O'Mahony 8: Jordi Murphy 7: Sean O'Brien

Twelvetrees? Twelvetrees?! Not one of the greatest names at our disposal. (Although his name itself is great, especially the story behind it.)
Crisis: Don't know whether to support Ireland or England.
Live in England, and was born here, but all my family are Irish and my last name is O'Brien ffs.
Crisis here.

Found one.
• The country's a dump
• The accent is irritating
• The place names are ridiculous
• The people smell of sheep's piss
• My idiot head teacher's Welsh
Need I go on?
Flipping the coin now. Heads = England, Tails = Ireland.
