Anyone else into rugby? I never used to be but Leicestershire's one of those areas where the oval ball is more popular than the round and I've gradually found myself getting into it more and more.
I'm off to Tigers vs. Harlequins on Saturday which I'm looking forward to as it's the first game to I've been too in a while and should be a good game.

I am, but only really international Rugby these days, Premiership has been on downward slope for a while now.

I'm actually from Rugby too

Sale could be pretty interesting over the next few years, with all this new money supposedly being pumped into the club. They're pretty poor as of now but they've already got a couple of potential stars in Cipriani and Gray, so you could see them surprise a few people this year if they find some form.

Yeah they've got some good young players, will be hard to keep them though.

Few of my mates went on friday and said the atmosphere was so bad, said the Sale fans had one chant which was just, SAAAAAAAAALE, SAAAAAAALE. Hoping to get to either the Leicester or Northampton games in the coming weeks, should bring a good set of fans.

Rugby crowds are so bad for chanting, don't judge the atmosphere based on that

Can't imagine Sale would get anything decent mind, Union has never really taken off properly up north.

Will you be watching and if so who are your winners of the tournament?

Personally I predict Ireland will do well, Italy to get the wooden spoon.

I think we could win it but that will depend on how bad or good Wales or England are.

France will probably beat us in Dublin, I've a funny feeling about those Frogs!!

As long as Scotland aren't bottom I'll be happy enough.

Hopefully we'll pile on the points here against Wales whilst we're in good form.

Great result for England, Should be a good game with Ireland next week with both teams playing well in their opening games.

I feel if we beat you in Dublin we'll go on and win the tournament.

I'd fancy us to beat Scotland and Italy away, especially after that performance against Wales today. Then it really comes down to that game against France at home, that's the game I'm a bit worried about the most.
