6 Nations Discussion and Guinness Fantasy League

[Logie66]

Got to be hoping for a French, English and Welsh win this weekend.

Will be interesting how the move to the Stadio Olimpico goes for the Italian Rugby team.

[technolog]

It looks like it could be the same three teams winning again this week as last week, although I will concede that England are perhaps the least likely to oblige.

Watch it  

I have made some strategic substitutions this week to get me positive at least (although If Ireland lose I will go deeper into the red   )

Shocking state of affairs in Paris, game postponed only 5 minutes before the kick off because some areas of the pitch are frozen. It"s not like the poor weather and low temp has been an overnight thing, so why not call off the game much earlier and give people the chance to avoid the travel costs etc.

Re arranged for 4 March 2012

Points will still be scored in the competition but there will be no additional transfers allowed in that week

[Logie66]

Have to say it"s buggered up my strategy, If I ever really had one lol

They should just be awarding the points to team picked for week 2 in my opinion

Scotland waiting on a few injury concerns before announcing team

Italians always late in announcing

England , actually, who cares which XV they pick  

[TightEnd]

Hopefully England drop Ben "delivers slower than second class post" Youngs, picks Welshman Ben Morgan and also Manu for Brad "built like an outhouse, only the outhouse is faster" Barritt.  We might look a bit handier then

As it is, zzzzz

Defo got to start with Dickson, where has Young"s zip gone? Morgan at 8, Barritt has done really well in defence, but offers nothing in attack, so Manu is the obv choice. But as Leigh says, I don"t think it matters who we pick the Welsh are so hot at the moment, still we can always hope.

[nosey-p]

Do you get 4 subs each weekend or is it 4 subs throughout the tournament?  or in duke"s case 15  

[Chipaccrual]

I"m pretty sure it"s four during the whole tournament.

[dwh103]

 4 each week (I"ve already made 8 transfers)

[Chipaccrual]

4 each week (I"ve already made 8 transfers)

Brilliant  

[nosey-p]

Looking at a good English win today  

[ian.ski309]

I could really do with the Scotland v France game finishing 0-0 with lots of missed kicks, yellow cards and half-time subs...
