Nearly.... Forgot Derby were playing today!!!

Have a great day Anag. Brilliant stadium there in Cardiff. Rousing anthem always.

Wales to snatch a very tight match is my prediction.

Everyone seems to be of the opinion that England will blow the Scots away with power! Im not so sure. Think this game will be tight too.

Thanks Stockholm Ram. Absolutely awesome day! Ireland were terrific and O'Driscoll just knows instinctively where to be at all times. He is one of the greats. Brilliant entertainment started by the army band and choir. Singing that makes the hairs on your neck stand up. Total commitment and some horrendous hits.

After the game went to a mental sports bar complete with beds to lie on, cinema seats and a massive screen for the England game. Hysterical entertainment watching the Cardiff girls stagger about on their high heels pissed out of their heads. Had to leave at half time to play the train game where you wait outside Cardiff station in a massive queue and hope a train takes you where you want to go.

Looking forward to returning to Cardiff in March to see the mighty rams rape them for three points!

What a fabulous first weekend of the 6N - 3 cracking games.

Absolutely delighted for Italy - went out last year to Stadio Olimpico to watch Italy v England - fantastic experience, the passion of the Italian fans was something else. Amazing what a decent 10 can do for a team - Orquera was different class today.

Not sure where France go from here but agree, Ireland v England is the big one now. Shame it has to come so soon in the tournament

True! But looking at them at the moment, its only Twickers that is packed out. There are still some to be had at all the others. Mill Stad being the exception, but the only game there is against England in a months' time.

Also enjoy that there is no segreation in rugby, opposing fans getting on.

Been to Murrayfield a few times, might go to Twickenham to watch an autumn international.

In all the rugby games I've been to, it's just fans there for the love of the game - rival fans love chatting about it. I think the difference is all the violence happens on the pitch and the referee gets total respect from the players so the two main frustration/flash points for fans are avoided.

Great weekend of Rugby, and exactly the reason why I hate international football! Massive game on Sunday, Championship decider probably, could still see winner of that game come unstuck elsewhere though, can't see a Grand Slam.

Will be interesting to see how England counter the Irish attacking threat, defense didn't look that solid against the Scots. The Irish defended well against the Welsh onslaught, not sure if England will be able to get enough points on the board.

Awesome the Italians beat the French, they've come a long way in the last couple of years.

Another fascinating weekend coming up, who's getting the beers in?
