| Re: The Six Nations Thread
Super Saturday tomorrow… all 6 nations will be in action.
Ireland need to show the form they had in the final 20mins of their game against France when they play Scotland this weekend. If they turn up playing like that, then they should blitz the Scots. Scotland didn’t even look like scoring a try against Wales two weeks ago. Their too reliant on the boot of Chris Patterson. The Scots need to show more passion and creativity if they are to come out of this game with anything positive to talk about.
Wales haven’t beaten Italy for the last two season, so obviously we go into this game cautiously. However we have a stronger belief in ourselves this time around, and anything less than a convincing win will not do. Italy proved to be tough nuts to crack 2 weeks ago against England, but as well as Italy played, England were just as poor (in the second half). Wales’ problem is their inability to make the most of their chances. We had a lot of chances to score tries against Scotland 2 weeks ago, but we failed to score the majority of the time. Stephen Jones and Dwayne Peel will be Wales’ danger men. The recalled Scarlets duo have a point to prove after being left out of the last 2 matches – and I’m sure they will prove their point.
England have been very poor during this tournament. The French haven’t been sublime, but they usually get better as they tournament goes on. France had a scare in the last match when Ireland came back at them, they won’t make the same mistake of switching off this weekend. France to win.
Predictions:
Ireland 27 – 12 Scotland
Wales 46 – 7 Italy
France 34 – 17 England |
