It\'s almost upon us fellow contenders!

How do people see this one panning out?

Anyone willing to make predictions for the final standings?

I see this being between France and England again, with Scotland as Dark Horses since they started popping growth hormones *he alleged...*

Wales have Twickers first up, and we\'ve not won there in 20yrs. I can\'t see that changing now. Scotland next up then at home, but again that could be very tough if the confidence is low. I saw Edinburgh beat Cardiff the other week and they were big, well organised and professional. I\'ll wait till the first two are out of the way before getting too carried away. If we manage to win one or both you may well find me in a loony bin gibbering to four walls a ceiling and a floor.

Ireland - past it? Speculation like that has gone on for a while but they\'ve done well in the tournament the past 5 or so years. Italy will improve again no doubt and embarrass a couple of teams. New coach factor for Wales and France and Italy, stability for the Scots, English and Irish. Oh, what to think!

Anyway, the ball is rolling should anyone want to throw their two-bob into the mix.

February 2nd - I can\'t wait! :drool:

I want tight matches. Close games. Underpants-spoiling matches won by moments of genius. I also probably need a reality check.

That\'s come round quick.

Personally I think it\'s again going to be close between England and France. Unless Wales have been playing a Dark Horse that last few seasons to lead us into a false sense of security.

DR, if they have then they\'ve fooled the whole world. What a coup that would be! Tight it\'ll be, but I think the table will have a familiar ring about it by the end of the tournament.

So you\'ll be putting your money on France then. :)

Anybody but Australia! oh... wait... :D

I like Ireland. They\'ve got spunk, and they caused an upset in the WC. I like Ireland. But that\'s just because I like them, got nothing to do with ability. You locals would know the calibre of local rugby better than I. But I like Ireland. :D

I agree its going to be England or France with Italy providing some entertainment in the unpredictable steaks.

Good luck to all, but mostly to England :D
