Depends on the Welsh result doesn't it. Not that what I want to happen will actually happen, but I would like Scotland to beat Wales, then Ireland to beat France (as Ireland are my second team) leaving England to win the 6N by resounding victories over Italy and then Scotland.
Of course Eddie and the Welsh will scupper all of that and I will drink a surfeit of Guinness to compensate.
sorted!
Being in a miserable mood, I'm wondering what the consequences of a 'resounding victory over Italy' might be. The thought of bloody Shields nailing down a starting slot is depressing in the extreme. Then there are . . .
Why couldn't the daft idiot pick a team to play some rugby?

Maybe Shields and Teo become stricken with Athletes foot around lunch time today.
And Youngs, but I need to stop banging that drum really.

I'm not a huge distance away from hoping Italy win. I expect come the match I'll get caught up in wanting England to do well and proceed to lambast the referee, but if both sides show similar intent to last round then it'll be embarrassing

Almost posted similar myself. I don’t want the idea that this team will give us the best chance to win the RWC to gain any traction whatsoever.

The worrying implication might be that the previous 3 weeks
