Have fun @Maynard Friedman - I used to manage occasional corporate hospitality at Twickers and saw some great matches, but not for many years…  will be watching from comfort of sofa

Cheers madam b, I'm hoping for a try-fest and edging one step closer to the world record for consecutive victories, but I'm counting no chickens…

Brilliant tactics used by Italy. New Zealand Super Rugby teams were doing this a few seasons ago, although nowhere near as good as Italy.

OK you Iron Hearters, this Saturday's All Blacks - Lions is a HUGE game
Lions have a shot at winning the series
I've watched all the games of this tour, skipping work when necessary
I'm a big AB fan and usually feel pretty confident, but this time, I'm kinda biting my nails already.

#prayforthelions - I really hope they can cause an upset on Saturday.

Anyone watching the rugby league World Cup? I wonder who Australia will beat in the final!  :-\

6 Nations is back! I have a sneaking feeling that England won’t make it 3 in a row this year, hope I’m wrong though.

Could be the most open tournament we’ve had in a few years.

I am still enthusiast and optimist to see the french team back. Not easy…but!but! Young talent Jalibert -19 years old- will start today. Front Sexton...for a start for him...️
Rugby forever!![emoji869][emoji869]

Yeah France has not really shined recently.

You are very gentle and very diplomate with your «not really shined…» [emoji6][emoji18][emoji16]

France are a steaming pile of "shined". Sorry @hajduk  . They'll still beat Wales though 

But Wales have been pegged as the worst of the home nation teams this year (partially because of injuries) and still managed to put in an awesome shift against the Scots (I know it's only Scotland, but still). Cymru am byth!

Cruel finish. But…so little rugby proposed and so many faults offered by Les Tricolores...so longtime now with a so poor rugby...
That’s sad...
I give a shit about the final score. But wait and wait our famous french flair back on the field...
Fais chier...

Beautiful 6 nations day!! Ireland made the grand slam! At Twickenham!! Beautiful! Love it!
And the Tricolores! It was rugby time in the Wales! Loss at the score but…something is back maybe...[emoji869][emoji869]

I finally payed up for a Viasat subscription (because of Liverpool in the CL) and I had no idea I got 6 nations. I've had such a good day with the rugby. Great results all round, but the Wales-France game was so much fun. France's first try was beautiful. Quick hands close running, very French.

[Maynard Friedman]

Well done England. Good victory over a combative Kiwi side with a penchant for the high tackle!

[hajduk]

In 10mn starts Wales-Irland! It has to be a great moment! Everything is in place to get a great & intense game! Am i right @neph93 

[neph93]

I’m pretty hyped up buddy. Scenes from the stadium now make me a bit wobbly. Thinking about the Arms Park in the late 70’s and 80’s when my Dad used to take me to the game.

[neph93]

Well that was quite a start…
