[General Melchett]

I was going to say no-one literally says 'this is our year' but John Barclay actually did.

Read what the pundits are predicting for the 2022 Six Nations and pick your final table.

"I do believe this has to be Scotland's year - the quality is there. We saw that represented on the British and Irish Lions tour, but I also know how good the other teams are."

Either Barclay has just saved your arse or you're a clairvoyant!

Or am I just really John Barclay...................

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Talking about Barclay, remember how good the triple Bs were as a back row! That was a great 6 nations, brown, Barclay and Beattie. I thought they'd go on to play for years together and maybe even be a lions backrow but alas not.

It's to

Given that its going to be ******* down with driving wind
Really can't see either 9's passing until they have a scrum or penalty advantage 12 9 either way

Yes. Look at the forecast and bet the ranch on the English pack.

Scotland have a team that they haven't had in many a year,be it imports or not but that's another thread ongoing.
For me they have this year and world cup year to prove they can do it and not be what ifs.
They are deserved favourites tomorrow, but weather unusually may be their worst enemy.
Close game less than 5 each way,but the sweaty socks should win.

I really don't see anything but and England win tomorrow. Scotland always the underdog that think they will win but it's still Scotland. Seems Eddie is looking for a fast start and I see a 10 point margin before the bench comes on to shore it up. Got a tidy tidy few quid on this so better be right!

Fair point there actually. Scotland have moved to fast paced, fast passing style, which really won't fit the weather today. England just need to return to our roots of pack driven, by the numbers, grind em out. Not exactly Champagne stuff, but as long as we win I don't really care.

So we get rid of Faz and have pretty exciting set of backs and some pace in the back row aswell and now we have to play a game suited to Billy Faz and Manu!

Im obv joking as you always have to play the conditions but this is a game where id have loved a sunny day with both back lines able to run. I just hope its not a full on scrumfest, meaning constant collapsed scrums and resets.

Still i cannot wait for this one!

In a way I'd like to see that this England she can grind out a win where necessary rather than if they can play champagne rugby.

This has got all the makings of a 'decided by the referee' game. There's pretty much always one in each 6N; one side feels aggrieved about a controversial decision which results in the winning score.

Ah, Ben O'Keefe...

Shoooosh, England are more often than not on the wrong side of the ref in recent years, however I am interested to see how it goes with Curry's interactions rather than Faz just ******* them off.

Poor girl, calling herself disgusting.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Can't wait to see how many penalties we give away today...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wrapped around the chest not the ball, not a penalty

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

God Youngs is so painfully slow.
