@Catogrande said in 2025 6Ns:
Thank you for your optimism re England. I wish I shared it. I'll have a better view on how close I am to slitting my wrists when Borthwick announces the match day squad. That will give us a better idea of how things are, or are not progressing.
Early days, sure, but I don't think they are that far away. They seem in a good place head-wise and are starting to really look like a team enjoying themselves.
Smith was outstanding in the AI's and has clearly matured. He'll be key if he can kick-on.

Jonathan Davies planning to retire from commentating. Where will we be without his incredibly perceptive "Space our wide!" . reading of the game?
Jonathan Davies interview: Wales v England could be my last game for BBC
Exclusive: Wales great reflects on 27 years in the commentary box and the malaise within Welsh rugby

well the fact they've cancelled Series 3 before they even released Series 2 shows you exactly how they feel IMO. Rugby is stupid, Living with Lions is the single best sporting documentary i've ever seen, Full Contact Series 1 was a painful set piece nonsense, no genuine changing room access etc.

Gonna go out on a limb and pick England to beat Ireland. Might be totally wrong but when I see Conor Murray and Cian Healy still getting picked and then they have a so-so first five…

Pendergast is already more than so-so

Not seeing it so far. Smith looks a much better 10.

Gotta take that on the chin. England very poor in the second half.

Italy, WalesPretty generous putting Wales all the way up with Italy
I’d also put England alongside Scotland given their World rankings and their recent head to head results with the mighty Scots winning four in a row against the auld enemy
England are probably more likely to knock over France or Ireland though ( well in the case of the latter not this year )
