As a Scot I am very excited for all the games actually, I think Wales deserve to win the GS so I’ll be rooting for them on Saturday. Very interested to see how Italy get on against France and obviously really just want Scotland to perform well and be rid of that awful record at Twickenham.

Never give up. We had a horrendous record at Twickenham before our win in 2008 (20 years). That win turned our fortunes and was Gats first Slam with Wales. I actually think this Scotland side could do it (if it wasn't for all the injuries). But as I said, never give up...

Honestly....can't say that I'm excited - more chilled. It's been a very strange 6N for me, mood wise. It should feel like it's been a bit of a disaster but instead feels like a chilled out success. No matter the result of the Welsh game, I think 3rd would be a very good place for a side that for whatever reasons, clunked and cluttered through the championship like a warship trying to get back to base with a gaping hole in the side. We made it back to base! 4th, 5th or 6th would have been a sinking.
So anything above 3rd now will almost feel like a Championship win. However if Wales beat us up and embarrass us on the score line, then it might be a case that an enemy sub got through and torpedoed us in harbour!

A party to end all parties in Cardiff .... I hope.
Here's the really daft thing though... I have 2 debentures, and before the tournament started, I promised the tickets to my son and his fiance. The Mrs says I HAVE to keep that promise..
Oh well... I was there for the 2005, 2008 and 2012 Grand Slam parties.. cant be greedy

As a Scotland fan I'm dreading it!
Why?
1. We get royally humped by England
or
2. We manage to beat England and the usual "ah but we beat England" patter starts and it papers over the cracks of what has been (injury list considered) a bloomin awful championship for us.

Even so, if Scotland beat THIS England side - at their home - it Would be something to regard as a booster to confidence. After all, instead of simply saying "ah but we beat England" you could as easily say "ah but sure we were shockingly off form for our other encounters.
Better to play yourself into form than out of it.

Am excited, as heading to Cardiff tomorrow for the weekend.
Will be good to see some faces I’ve not seen for a while.
Can see Wales Ireland going either way. Hoping we can spoil the party.
Would like to see Italy get the win.
As far as England Scotland game goes, well if Ireland win, then would love to see Scotland win.
If wales win, not bothered who wins.
What ever the result in Cardiff, we’ll have a great weekend.
Enjoy all.

As an England fan i am exited because ( A ) it is the last game of the tournament.
And (B )Because there is a chance, a small chance England could win the title, NO Grand Slam for England but a chance they could win IF, IF, Ireland beat Wales. And there is a good chance that could happen.
Notice, i put the (IF) in capitals. That is because Wales are playing at home, and are hard to beat at home.
So come on Ireland do England a favour will you?
