Six Nations is back this Saturday, dont care what the anti rugby crowd say, its a great time of the sporting year.

 

There's always at least 2 decent games each weekend and some of the matches will be difficult to predict as always.

 

Unfortunately, each team have been hit hard with injuries which probably means England, who have the best squad, will win the whole thing again.

Unfortunately !!!!. England...win again?....I B*****Y HOPE SO!

No chance we'll win this regardless of whether or not that's given but that's a terrible decision. 

 

When even big coke nose Lawrence thinks that's a Wales try you know you've been robbed. 

 

Snap...

Dont even have a preference for who I want to win (just want to see a decent game more than anything else) but how on earth is that not a Welsh try?

 

What's actually the point of a tmo when you can watch pretty obvious grounding and he tells the ref he can't see anything?

Yeah, looked pretty stone cold to me too.

 

Wales missing a trick by going for the corner consistently or forced to do so by circumstances, do you think?

One of those where you go corner a couple times and don't score and all of a sudden you realise you've basically thrown away the same amount of points you'd have scored anyway. 

 

I think we should be taking the points, don't see it being a very high scoring game despite the start. 

 

Could be wrong. Depends how Wales respond in defence. 

 

But we were kicking in to the wind first half.

If Wales had Halfpenny they'd be 19 - 12 up

I like him,he’s a great player.

 

What I like about Brown is he's ludicrously simple. I mean that as a compliment, he's like a Jamie Vardy of rugby (even in that he's a massive chav you hate if he's not on your team) - don't **** about just run straight at them. 

 

Focuses on doing the basics very well and extremely directly.

Bit harsh , he plays on the edge but he has been a serious player for us , we could do with someone like him at Tigers 

 

I dislike him but dont get me wrong I've said for years I'd love to have him as full back for Ireland as he's a great player. As Finnegen mentioned above he's the Vardy/ Diego Costa type that opposition dislike. 

 

As much of a **** as Rob Kearney is (on and off the pitch), he's nowhere near as good a full back as Brown nor as good at winding up opposing teams.

I'm an occasional rugby watcher, so don't know the rules in and out- what is the official line in terms of grounding these days? 

 

The Welsh lad obviously got to the ball first, but his fingers appeared to brush down the side of the ball more than down on top of it- I doubt there could have been much (if any) controlled downward pressure, but is it a case of getting anything on the ball without knocking it forward?

Downward pressure.
