Half way through.... or just a little over.

Where's your money now....

Merging this with the other thread - KRD

No prizes for guessing I think it will be a Grand Slam to Wales.

It's a tough one to call. I see it being between France and Wales. I look at the plaudits for Wales but then they needed a last gasp penalty to beat Ireland (who were well below what they are capable of), a TMO decision in injury time against England (who are still finding their feet) and beat Scotland but required the sin bin period to capitalise. So gritty wins, with a bit of luck and I can't figure out whether that means their luck is about to run out eventually or that they themselves are slightly below par and are due to kick on a gear.
France now have a proper coach, better team spirit and improving each week. Trinh-Duc is being backed by the coach and doing well. Parra/Yachvilli can control a game, the pack is a force, their backrow might not be able to compete on the ground, their centres are settling into a fine understanding but their fitness has a question mark on it.
I've gone for France, but their 4 games on the bounce might fatigue them too much.

I have gone for Wales but not GS. I have this feeling that France will do to them what Ireland did to England last 6N.

Heart says Wales head says France

I like Scotland´s chances. They are the dark horses of this poll.

Heart says Wales head says Wales

That's it kia... anything is possible

eirebilly. So you reckon Ireland and/or England will beat France then to stop them taking a Slam.

I think if Wales beat Italy, and I really hope there wont be a shock there, then final game in Cardiff and Wales will take it. Especially if as you predict (or assume, predicting Wales win but no Slam) either Ireland and/or England beat France before. Cant see the French wanting to turn up to play for the 4th weekend running if they arent on for a Slam themselves.

I actually think that both Ireland and England will beat France Major but that they will turn it on for the last match against Wales.

I have no idea why i think that, i just do.

That´s funny I have no idea why you think that either!

It´s not beyond the realms of possibility but particularly the former is a big ask. Ireland in France are like Americans in Afghanistan. They receive a hostile reception and generally leave with very little achieved.

But I´ll buy you a beer if it does happen.

I like living in my own reality Kia, life is much more enjoyable

Head says Wales GS heart says anyone but. Gone for the head though. They're playing just the way they need to.

THE SLAMMETH IS COMING BOYO

Win at Twickenham playing crap will spur them onto a demolition of Italy.

France have 4 matches in a row they will be tired with injuries no doubt. Last time Wales faced a grandslam decided they crucified France in the 2nd half.

If Ireland beat France they will have even less to play for.
