| RBS 6 Nations Championship It's that time again - The 6 Nations. So who will win it this year? Wales impressed last year and played some blinding rugby to take the 6 Nations in style. 3rd I reckon. England then were disjointed and looked a shadow of the team that took the World Cup. The Southern Hemisphere tour injected a new lease of life into them and England's forwards gelled nicely to scare the soft Southern namby pambies. 2nd I reckon Sadly, the French are probably favourites. They possess a good all round team and are capable of beating anyone on the day. My choice for 6 Nations champs. Ireland are an outside bet. They possess a couple of world class players but little else. 4th I reckon. Scotland are a sorry bunch and have been for a while. They only seem to manage half an hour of decent rugby before falling apart. Something serious needs to be done to avoid being overtaken by the upstarts from Italy. 5th if they're lucky. Italy are improving year on year, albeit slowly. I think they'll collect the wooden spoon again this year, but that pride of place will go to Scotland within a year or three, I reckon. ![]()

| Well, some good rugby played in round one. England were slow to start (as usual), but went on to beat the Taffies quite easily. England 47 - 13 Wales. ![]() Ireland expected to beat Italy quite handsomely, but disapointed with a 26 - 16 win. Scotland, on the other hand, were quite wonderful in kicking some Froggy butt 20 - 16. Nice one! |

| I'm well happy for the Jocks - I just didn't believe that they had it in them. It's certainly made this year's tourny more interesting, just like Wales did last year. |

| Yes, watching live scores from BBC, but the radio is only talking about fuking premiership footy. Do you know where I can listen to the second half live Marmite. Radio Wales is talking up Cardiff and Watford. UBC is showing shit. |

| Wales 18-18 Italy RBS SIX NATIONS Wales (15) 18 Tries: M Jones, S Jones Con: S Jones Pens: S Jones (2) Italy (15) 18 Tries: Galon, Canavosio Con: Pez Pens: Pez (2) Italy won their first ever Championship point away from home in a dogged, scrappy draw at the Millennium Stadium. Wales threatened to run away with it in the opening half, getting their high pace, off-loading game going with tries from Mark Jones and Stephen Jones. But an Ezio Galon score and a Pablo Canovosio interception try brought it back to 15-15 at half-time. A Ramiro Pez penalty put the Azzurri ahead, but he missed four other kicks and Stephen Jones booted Wales level. Wales had started well with a Jones penalty, but suffered a blow when scrum-half Dwayne Peel departed with a badly jarred shoulder following a heavy hit from Galon. Italy defended well against a maul from a short-range line-out and their blitz defence put pressure on Wales' backs. We have to be happy with that performance against the Six Nations champions ![]() Italy captain Marco Bortolami But a neat inside ball to Shane Williams allowed the overlapping wing to send Mark Jones clear in the right corner for the opening try. The visitors hit back when Canavosio was just forced out by Haldane Luscombe after a midfield break from the outstanding Mirco Bergamasco. Wales fluffed the line-out and Italy's forwards almost crossed before the backs sent Galon clear. Mark Jones gave Wales the ideal startThe full-back nearly failed to ground the ball before the dead-ball line, but after long deliberation video referee Eric Darriere controversially awarded the score. Wales began to get their sniping, off-loading game together and when Phillips tapped a short-range penalty the supporting Stephen Jones was on hand for his try. Italy lost prop Carlos Nieto to a badly twisted knee, before Bergamasco just denied Luscombe a try following a 70m hack-on. A well-worked attack from the visitors ended in a Pez penalty, though, Martyn Williams lucky not to see yellow for offside play at a ruck. The home side's pressure mounted for 10 minutes, but on the stroke of half-time a loose Matthew Watkins pass was intercepted by Canavosio for a 60m run-in and 14-point turnaround, Pez's conversion drawing things level. A Pez penalty gave the Azzurri the lead for the first time when Lee Byrne put in a late hit on Bergamasco, but the fly-half missed the chance to double the lead soon after. Michael Owen was non-existent, Charvis was a shadow of his former self ![]() With Italy well on top Cristian Stoica missed a drop goal, before Stephen Jones steadied Wales' nerves with an equalising penalty on 58 minutes following a scrum offence. The sides battled each other to a standstill in a scrappy, increasingly desperate skirmish, Italy's brave defence leaving the Cardiff crowd silent and unsure how to respond to their misfiring team. |
