Scotland v Ireland looks a tough game to call for me.I don't believe Ireland have become a bad team overnight although they do have a couple of injuries to contend with today.And I still never really know what Scotland are capable of.
If push came to shove then I suppose I'd still have to side with Ireland and a narrow victory.
Italy v Wales again not the easiest to predict with Gatland making a host of changes from the team that faced France.Probably have to go with Italy on the cap as I do think they are improving slightly(although didn't look that way for 70 minutes last week)
England v France
Again difficult to know what French team is going to turn up,but judging on both teams performances last week I suppose I'd have to go with a convincing England win.So England on the Cap.
As is probably clear from above I don't really have any strong opinions on any of the 3 games and it's all a bit of IF and Buts

These farking stupid handicap markets are so much harder to trade than if everyone was just looking at three lines max. 
Wales moneybuyers rejoice!

Why have England shortened up from 1.7 to 1.5 for the 6 nations without playing a game ?
Because they seem the best team by a clear margin based off their destruction of Ireland
1 game and they are now the new All Blacks of Europe 
Gonna be some upset people when Wales beat them in a couple of weeks

because ireland and wales both failed to get bonus point wins
england pretty much got the tournament wrapped up now barring an epic choke
England slightly odds against @ -14.5 on the handicap. I'd love to take that market on but I just cannot bet against England at rugby union, any other sport and it would not bother me too much! I'm not having a punt on this game, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy it with a cold beer. Good luck everyone with your punts today.

That is a tough match to call, it looks like if England are going to win the grand slam that is the key game.I've seen England play at Cardiff 3 times and we lost every game!

Good afternoon everyone, I'm looking forward to the game a lot but not having a punt, just a watching brief this afternoon. Hola Grant, I would like to tell you that all is good with me but I punctured my right lung on Tuesday and spent most of the week in the trauma ward at King's College hospital! 
Not a great week for me.

sounds nasty
england taking the 3 and building the lead, thought they might have been tempted to go to corner with it being 5-0
I slipped and landed on a glass which went through my rib cage and into my lung, the consultant said I was very lucky to survive, I was literally covered in blood. Quite scary but I'm on the mend albeit somewhat slowly and it's going to take me a long time to get back to normal but I'll be OK mate.

SlippyPhew! Glad you're ok mate.

Bonus point by HT??
confirmed!!
Cheers pauly, I'll be OK but it will take a long time to recover.
Back to the game! England 30-France 8 at half time. What a stunning first half that was for England, completely sublime

Super Bowl is no comparison to a proper contact sport.........
Clive, England never played like this when you coached them.
he didnt even have control of the ball and was quite far out, crazy call imo
The ball bounced slightly backwards ,he was struggling to get hands on it when he was wiped out ......poor home town decision.
It was a dodgy call I thought Grant, the ref has just assumed he would have gathered up the ball and scored the try and although that was highly probable, it was not a definite that he wouldn't have knocked it on and hence no try. So for me there was a doubt, in a court of law I would say that the defence had a strong case for a penalty try NOT to be awarded. Me personally, I would not have given the decision to award a penalty try.
thing is even if he gathered the ball, he wouldve been tackled short of the line!
the guy was right behind him and it was a good 10 yards out!
So out of the three of us on the rugby forum, Grant, 626 and myself, none of us would have given a penalty try yet the decision (which was totally wrong) on the field stood! 
England score again!
England score again!
Is it just me??? I would not have given that try either! It was a clear man without the ball, clear as day.
TMO has bought England on the spreads NAP. Two flipping joke decisions.
BF's ridiculous handicap farce in danger of being inadequate.
Italy licking their lips at taking France on .......
its concering the ref and TMO can make such big mistakes, thankfully it didnt impact the final result
Grant who do you like in the Golf?

ooh, think id prob give phil a go
When you think of the French Top 14 surely France should not be as bad as this. They have been a shambles for some time.
its true, the national team is a farce and an embarrasment
Agree eng v sa, I can only imagine what French greats of the game like Serge Blanco and Jean-Pierre Rives for example would make of this totally shambolic French side? I think both of them would be none too impressed somehow.
France just gave up and waved the white flag early in the game.
Rest week this week.Next round is next weekend.
