    @Victor-Meldrew @MiketheSnow

    I genuinely think all three games are hard to call. Having said that, it’s the 6N and as we’ve seen, anyone can beat anyone. Except Italy can’t beat England.

    Yet.

    The 6N's has gone from strength to strength in the last 2-3 years in that regard. Even the games between the "weaker" sides are pretty competitive.

    Edit: Depends on the quality of the Red....

    It's questionable and I have now switched to coffee.

    Now where's that cognac..?

    @Stargazer

    His height and weight stats are all over the place. I've seen him listed at 6'2", 6'3" and 6'4" and weight anywhere between 120kg and 145kg. Either way he's a farking unit. Plays second row currently - who'd be a line-out lifter eh?

    Having watched the game, I think he is around 1.92 m and 145 kg. At scrum time, he was pushing behind a French THP weighing about 135 kg. The English scrum could not resist against such a powerful right side.

    He's trying to do it in every thread too, so I'll repeat myself as well.

    @sparky You saw what you wanted to see mate, it was a cracking tournament.

    Italy, Scotland on the rise and fantastic to watch, Wales and England in chaos, France with some simply sublime rugby and the unstoppable behemoth of Irish efficiency.

    Really enjoyed it. Would watch again.

    Think he's just packing a sad about the red card.

    @cgrant Yep. It really wouldn't surprise me to see Rugby losing lots of viewers and spectators soon.

    Social media is awash with rumours that the BBC will be pulling out of TV coverage of the Six Nations.

    @sparky Could well be true. They've flipped-flopped over this for years and have to a degree been ousted by the players that are prepared to spend a bit of dosh. I would say shame but in truth they had one real asset and Bill McClaren died years ago.

    I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

    Andrew Cotter is a joy and easily the best commentator in the world.

    That they’re in, then not so much, then less, then more. Meanwhile BT Sport, Sky and even the god awful ITV have taken over.

    Yes I’d forgotten about him, probably because I rarely get to listen to him. But you’re right, he is by far the best.
