Reverse that Ireland score line, maybe a tad closer.

Scotland match, England for the win, but only by 3 - 5 points, Scotland for the win if Itoje plays his usual dirty penalty conceding game.

Welsh match, who? :obscene-birdiedoublered:
That comment aged well!
England were complacent and a mess. Despite all the England only lost because they had a bad day comments , the Scots played well and had a stonking game plan!

The Scots played a solid game, but I don't think they scored a try when England had a full team on the field (or maybe just the one), which granted was only slightly more than half the match.
It's been the same for as long as I've watched rugby, England's biggest enemy on the pitch are always England.

Calcutta Cup in the bag. Should beat Wales then back to being mince next weekend and get dry humped by the French and Irish.

I think the Six nations should be extended and have home and away games. Still four points for each game and bin the bonus points bollocks.

If four all in the Calcutta Cup then down to points aggregate and then Tries scored. It all just seems over to quick.

One of our maintenance guys is a Scot and his oppo is English and has been ripping the piss out of the scottish sporting abilities. Wish I'd been on site to see him eating his humble pie today! :D

England played without much of a clue, Scotland played well, best team won. It would annoy me though if I was Scottish to see my team being able to up my game vs England but not so much Vs everyone else!

I was telling my mate Friday we'd lose this weekend. Scotland have won 5 of the last 6 Calcutta Cups, the one they lost was by 1 point at Twickenham. In the same time frame they have not been in the bottom 2 once, when they were third. It boggles my mind a bit that a team can run on hatred that much.

England have totally lost the plot. Big fat forwards charging head on into massed defensive line. Meanwhile France, Italy and even (spit) Scotland have a 3/4 line and know how to use it. I despair! Do we not have ANY really fast wingers any more? And please England, practise fast ball and passing it out to the wings.

Fuck no. It's bad enough watching Wales lose 5 matches, I really don't want to watch them lose 10 :(

For the first 15 minutes I thought we were on track to see a triple digit score in the tournament.

Well, here's my lunatic mate's weekend forecast !!!
Despite managing two very close predictions on my own (let's not talk about the England result), I felt fortunate to receive a visit from Pythia, the legendary Oracle of Delphi. Feeling sorry for my linguistic problems last week she came to help out with the coming weekend's games. She opened with one of her famously cryptic pronouncements by saying, in strongly accented English "Those Frogs are a bit handy, eh?". I already knew that, but she was kind enough to tell me the results. Here goes...

England Ireland
Despite winning last week Ireland will be disappointed with their performance, but nowhere near as frustrated as England with their Murrayfield showing. One of these teams is very likely to leave Twickenham having won only one of their first three games, so a couple of sides with lots to lose and I'm reliably informed that it's the boggies that will be heading home empty handed.
England 26 Ireland 15

Wales Scotland
Even without the all-seeing vision of an ancient Greek soothsayer I know that shipping an average of over 50 points a game over the last 6 matches is suboptimal, so Wales have a problem. Hot from their Calcutta Cup victory, the Jocks are the next visitors. Wales will be targeting the usual post England game dip in form from Scotland, so can the Taffs improve a defence last seen in France 1940 and pull off an unlikely win? No.
But closer than some think.
Wales 15 Scotland 24

France Italy
Facing a team who scored 90 points in the first two games is a daunting prospect, but Italy will be looking to their impressive forwards to disrupt their lighter, but more athletic opponents. I'm told it will help, but there's no stopping that snail munching back line. LB-B will score a brace.
France 36 Italy 14

I totally forgot to share MysticAl's forecast for this weekend. So the first matche he was kinda right, mostly! The second was just WOW and MysticAl was out by some numbers! Just waiting to see on the third one!!
On Monday after Round 3 of the Six Nations my spirit guide gently took my hand and led me gently through the remains of England's broken dreams. With a sad sigh and a complete ignorance of cliches she said "There's always next year".
But first we need to finish this year's competition, so she kindly told me how Round 4 would go.

Ireland Wales
After a lacklustre first two games, the Riverdance mob found form against a poor England and claimed a record win at Twickenham (or whatever naff corporate title they're using for it). Wales found a semblance of form too, but a mix of woeful concentration, lack of depth and let's face it, lack of ability saw them log another L in the results column. Expect another shoeing.
Ireland 36 Wales 10

Scotland France
Scotland kept going to the end and scraped a late victory to cheer them as they headed back over the Severn Bridge.
France... Well, what more can you say? The slightest sniff and they're away. As they will be in this game too. As an added bonus it was confirmed to me that the quite astonishing Louis Bielle-Biarrey will go over again and take his run to scoring in nine 6N games in a row.
So how will it go when Scotland have to play the Gauls and face the full 15 for a change? Not well.
Scotland 12 France 25

Italy England
England's hopes of being in the mix for the championship was rapidly derailed by two very ordinary performances. They'll need to up the concentration levels this weekend, as well as sorting the discipline. Games are easier when you have the full compliment. Italy have flattered to deceive so far, playing well, lasting the 80, but with just one win to show for it. Can they record their first 6N win against a reeling England. Can they bollocks, only one winner of the chariot race on Saturday.
Italy 10 England 23
What i want to know is WTAF happened in the Scotland France game ??? I'm honestly ecstatic for Scotland!! But that seems unexpected??

And now, France and Scotland have the same points :o :o :o Ahead of Ireland :shock: :shock:

Bloody shame I won't be back in time to watch the first match nex tSaturday :( :( Need to find a way to listen to it on my phone!!!!
