First of all I hope you’re all well and had a fine Christmas and New Year - Bath fans excluded
What do you make of the world of rugby at present? Saracens looking very good, could see a Racing - Leinster semi in the Heineken cup, elsewhere what on earth is going on at Wasps, players coming and going like its an airport terminal, there seems to be rumour of Elliot Daly going to Saracens - that’d be quite some side, not sure where Goode would then go?
Internationally, its Six Nations time - thoughts gents? Then the World Cup is fast approaching, how are you feeling, whose gonna do it? What shocks might there be - Japan to beat Ireland in teh first game? They’ll be used to teh heat and humidity, could they catch Ireland cold?
Elsewhere the whole injury scene is very worrying at the moment, with Warburton gone, and Halfpenny struggling, is there stuff we need to do to guard the players future whislt not ending up playing tag - as a winger even that involves far too much contact with other players!
Hi chaps!

Hey SARS,
That first sentence is bang out of order mate
I think Leinster have tobe favourites again, even if Sarries are top seeds after group games. It's good to see Toulouse back playing well (Kolbe is awesome to watch) but I don't see them as genuine contenders yet. Daly is a done deal apparently, but he has said he doesn't want to be a FB previously so I imagine he will be OC at Sarries.
As for the international scene, I can't see past Ireland for the 6N again. Wales in Cardiff could upset their GS hopes though but after the boys in green it really could be any order (above Italy who I think are certain spoon winners). Would love us to start off with a win in Dublin but it's unlikely.

Evening laddies. Hope we are all fine.
So yonight is it Allez les bleus or Mon the Druids?
Personally I couldnt give a rats. Think I've gone for Cymru in the predictors.

Have to say France looked good first half then went all Scotland in the second, gifting the game to the opposition. That'll give the Druids a lift for next week.

Yeah, it was an odd one yesterday, I thought France were the better side overall and probably should have won, but my god there was some kamikaze stuff from them - really, really stupid - Brunel must’ve been furious.
To be fair to Wales, their heads didn’t go down and they were very cool, calm and collected - very professional I guess you’d say.
As you know, I’m a big France fan, albeit of a type of rugby that hasn’t been played for about 20 years, and I wonder if they might give someone a surprise at some stage.

Good stuff so far today. Russell vision for the first and good finishing for the second. Great to see Kinghorn's development contiuing well. He will be an excellent player.

I guess roughly downward pressure is enough - what are your thoughts on the match Show - seems Scotland have won at a canter and probably should have been farther ahead at half time

Well that didn't go too badly did it
Without the consolation try at the end we would be ranked 2 in the world also!

Poor try. Poor.
