    Manu Tuilagi's hopes of featuring in the final three rounds of this year's Guinness Six Nations are probably over after the Sale...

    When a player is selected for the British & Irish Lions tour, it's generally given that they are a Test starter for their home nation.

    It's certainly fucked his England aspirations. Off to France next season I'll wager.

    How he's still in the mix beggars belief

    Scotland at home will be a tough game. Hard to call

    Pick England to beat France and Wales to put a fair few points on Italy (revenge and all that)

    @Victor-Meldrew @MiketheSnow

    I genuinely think all three games are hard to call. Having said that, it’s the 6N and as we’ve seen, anyone can beat anyone. Except Italy can’t beat England.

    Yet.

    Edit: meant to say hard to call = Ireland thrashing Scotland and Wales ripping Italy a new one. I don’t think either will happen, but they could!

    Am I making sense or should I lay off the red?

    The 6N's has gone from strength to strength in the last 2-3 years in that regard. Even the games between the "weaker" sides are pretty competitive.

    Edit: Depends on the quality of the Red....

    It's questionable and I have now switched to coffee.

    Now where's that cognac..?

    His height and weight stats are all over the place. I've seen him listed at 6'2", 6'3" and 6'4" and weight anywhere between 120kg and 145kg. Either way he's a farking unit. Plays second row currently - who'd be a line-out lifter eh?

    Having watched the game, I think he is around 1.92 m and 145 kg. At scrum time, he was pushing behind a French THP weighing about 135 kg. The English scrum could not resist against such a powerful right side.

    He's trying to do it in every thread too, so I'll repeat myself as well.

    @sparky You saw what you wanted to see mate, it was a cracking tournament.

    Italy, Scotland on the rise and fantastic to watch, Wales and England in chaos, France with some simply sublime rugby and the unstoppable behemoth of Irish efficiency.

    Really enjoyed it. Would watch again.
