Question

6 Nations 2008, Early tips for a winner and why ?

Answer 1

France or Ireland.

England if they can sort themselves out.

Answer 2

England or france

scotland to finish 3rd

Answer 3

France - They have the experience and the talent, they probably should have won the World Cup this year, had they turned up for any of their games.

England - Some good youth players coming up in the backs (Tate, Strettle, Flood, Hipkiss, Sackey...), along with quite a strong back row. (Rees, Moody, Easter)... and a scary scrummaging front row (Sheriddan, Regan, Vickery/Stevens).

More of an outside shot though, as they didn't seem to be very structured in attack at the world cup, and I don't rate Brian Ashton.

You'll probably be able to tell if they have a chance of winning after their first game.

Answer 4

France has the best talent and then maybe England or Ireland

Answer 5

France or Ireland, i wont mind seeing Ireland nearley every year they seem lke winning it but then something happerns that stops them e.g 2007 when France won on point difference by a last minute try.

Answer 6

ireland  have  3  easy  home  games  which  they  are  certain  to  win (  italy  scotland  and  wales) and   they  are a  team   with a  lot  to  prove  after  the  world  cup.  good  panel  with  lots  of  good  young  talent  possibly  coming  through.  they  will  be  there  or  there  abouts  and  possibly  good  value  with  the  bookies.3  bets  i  will  definitely  have  are  ireland  to  win  all  3  home  games  (on  the  handicap)

Answer 7

It will be one of 3, Ireland, France or England.

Answer 8

I think England will. The experienced players combined with the young more adventerous ones will really work for them in the competition. Also they have strength in dep. We have the likes of Ben foden who can now take the place of jason robinson and the likes of flood barkely and hodgsen who can take the place of wilko.

Answer 9

If it's not made a seven nations, some crappy european nation would win.

Answer 10

Wales...they have the players...they have the coach...they have the talent..they have all the ingredients to something really special again next year...

Answer 11

well not england anyway because no doubt wilko will be injured again by then and england will be rubish again! Wales, Italy or Scotland wont winit either unless something magic happens like with wales a couple of years ago! So France or Ireland but i dont think Ireland will be able to beat France in Paris so more than likely France

Answer 12

It has to be between Wales or France!

Wales have a lot to prove after their RWC disappointment and with the new coach and the Welsh pride, they will pull out all the stops and do their best!

France have a good team and are a force to be reckoned with!

England, who will still have Ashton and his boring seen it all tactics, will no doubt be without Lawrence Dallaglio, who has the guts and inspiration to change the game plan on the pitch as he did in the RWC! So I do not count on them being the top 2 teams!

Answer 13

Wales.    Because one of New Zealands top coaches has gone there to have a clean out and assemble/coach a team that will kick butt in the style Wales use to play.
