Given Wales' inability to score a single point from spending the last 10 minutes in the South African 22 bodes well for a last minute SA try

This south african replacement scrum half must have welsh blood in him the way he has played the last 10 minutes of a test match

Agree with Kev rankings. England being knocked out of the group stages of the world cup is going to be sweet

warmed up for the world cup now, easy game. South Africa should learn how to play

That was Warren Gatland's 2nd win in 28 games against SH sides during his time in charge of Wales. Great record.

Am I being too much of a 2plus2 nerd here?:

Tigers up by 17 have an attacking line out on their opponents (Scarlets) 22. Likely that our only chance to qualify for the QFs is to finish level on 18 points with another team and to win the tie breaker (the first of which is Tries Scored). This is unlikely but given we have already won this game with a BP, that means a BP win at Ravenhill (I'm a traditionalist) and scoring as many tries as possible.

So what do we do from this attacking line out? Catch and drive, no sorry, catch and kick the ball into touch to end the game.....!

Moot point as Leicester aren't getting a BP win next week and they know it.

But seriously yeah, score as many tries as you can.

Yeah, I'm not particularly confident - our form away from Welford Road isn't exactly brilliant and we don't have a good record at Ravenhill - but you've got to give yourself as good a chance as possible and it's very likely that Ulster will be knocked out tomorrow & have nothing (other than pride) to play for against us.

Apparently I was wrong and the first tie-breaker is now points difference (a subtle difference to the Heineken Cup) in which case maybe we should have gone for the long range drop goal instead......!

Bump for the 2015 Six Nations starting today, fixtures & refs are as follows (all times GMT):

Fri Feb 6 20.05 Wales v England Ref: Garcès (Fra)
Sat Feb 7 14.30 Italy v Ireland Ref: Gaüzère (Fra)
Sat Feb 7 17.00 France v Scotland Ref: Owens (Wal)

Sat Feb 14 14.30 England v Italy Ref: Lacey (Ire)
Sat Feb 14 17.00 Ireland v France Ref: Barnes (Eng)
Sun Feb 15 15.00 Scotland v Wales Ref: Jackson (NZ)

Sat Feb 28 14.30 Scotland v Italy Ref: Clancy (Ire)
Sat Feb 28 17.00 France v Wales Ref: Peyper (SA)
Sun Mar 1 15.00 Ireland v England Ref: Joubert (SA)

Sat Mar 14 14.30 Wales v Ireland Ref: Walsh (Aus)
Sat Mar 14 17.00 England v Scotland Ref: Poite (Fra)
Sun Mar 15 15.00 Italy v France Ref: Doyle (Eng)

Sat Mar 21 12.30 Italy v Wales Ref: Pollock (NZ)
Sat Mar 21 14.30 Scotland v Ireland Ref: Garcès (Fra)
Sat Mar 21 17.00 England v France Ref: Walsh (Aus)

And best odds to win the whole thing (per oddschecker) are as follows:

Ireland 3.0 (Ladbrokes/Stan James)
England 3.5 (Ladbrokes/BetFred)
Wales 4.33 (Ladbrokes)
France 7 (Most bookies)
Scotland 41 (Spreadex)
Italy 501 (Most bookies)

So, let us Six Nations!!

Oh, and c'mon England (even with our horrible and obviously very detrimental (for a country with as small a population as 50m)) injury list - at least that what the English press would have you believe.

And yes, rubbish formatting is rubbish, sorry.

Was just my way of saying a lot of the British (let's face it English) media seem to think us English supporters should expect to lose, given the injuries we have. My opinion is that injuries are no excuse.

And enjoy, am jealous (that you're going to the game).
