You just can't beat the 6N, it shits all over the rugby championship
My dick is still bigger than yours
I've got to agree with @Billy-Tell. The rugby quality hasn't been close, but having travelling support locally just makes an amazing atmosphere. It also helps to have been at war with each other, or to have assimilated others to really put a bit of spice into it.
Not so easy with Australia/NZ, but I'm prepared to paddle a waka over and have a lash at them if anyone's with me.

The annual war of words between us Saes and those Taffs has begun. Eddie throwing a hand grenade in to the mix. Pretty classless IMO.

England with two starting changes, Joseph in for Teo who drops to the bench and the unfortunate Youngs is replaced by Care with Wiggelsworth on the bench. Wales starting XV unchanged but a certain Mr G North comes on to the bench.
I think we will learn a fair bit more about both teams this weekend. Last weekend did not tell us much I feel.

The real Eddie arises again.
Agree, that lacks class, but then again he is Australian.
