    It is some turnaround since just last year. If anyone beats them this year it will take one hell of an effort or a really bad performance on England's part. I think Wales will get blown away.

      last year I don't think England had the mental strength to cope with major games this seems to have changed it will be tested to the full against Wales and the cauldron of fire but I think they will cope with it but I don't think Wales will be blown away

          regarding the crowd at the France match just watched the game again with the grandson and they where singing and chanting, think the noise level has something to do with the stadium shape which looked V shaped from above, whereas other stadiums are more upright and keep the noise in and of course Wales ground is partly covered all the time and with the roof shut well.

          Julio think England will win by ten points

            Alan, if you look at Murrayfield and Twickenham photos there is hardly any difference between them. I think Marc is onto something with ticket prices:

            Italy - £25 to £88

            France -£20 to £135

            Ireland -£30 to £145

            Wales - £40 to £90

            Scotland - £40 to £90

            England - £60 t0 £165

              Well, am sticking my head on the block, not saying it will be an easy game, but I think England will win comfortably. And now I think they'll win the competition, wouldn't have said that 2 weeks ago. ! .

                  To be fair, they have a bigger Union to finance with more players etc so that's probably why they charge more....

                  Fair comment about stadium shape though Alan... It does make a difference as well.

                  I can't remember a bad 6N tourney for a long time. This one is warming up to be a cracker

                    Thought this 6n was going to be awful after the first games but England certainly woke it up

                      hold my hands up, how wrong was I. can't argue about that result, they were better in the second half, all over the park. nothing more I can say really. well done wales.

                        Yes Wales deserved to win on the day, England's kicking game fell apart and they still on with it, the odd time they ran the ball they looked good. Wales kicking game was spot on the difference between two sides who went at it like nobody's business

                          England had no ambition in attack, boring game to watch. Back to the 1 day cricket for me - and they lost yesterday too!!

                            England edged the first half. Wales owned the second hence the difference in the score line. Wales wanted it more is about as basic of a post game autopsy that anyone needs! At least nufc won!!

                            Scotland were woeful against France and we're lucky the score line wasn't higher. If England played with a bit more looseness like Scotland or of Scotland played with a bit more English pragmatism what a couple of teams they would be!

                              Haha, you might be right there Marc! I'm still going back to the cricket though for some entertainment, at least when England lose, they lose trying to win.
