I will take that
It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

I don’t have the conviction to argue against that.

Ye of little faith! There’s always room for hope. The time to be despondent will be 7.00 on Saturday evening.

Let’s wait and see.

Drink deep from this well of optimism, O my brothers, that would have us win the first two matches, and finish third:

I have less optimism, although yeah, if the stars all aligned it could just happen. :shock:

My guess for this week is:

France 31 - 24 Ireland
Italy 17 - 35 England
Wales 18 - 28 Scotland

Well that's a bad start for pretty much everyone; although we should be reminding all our Irish friends that of course, wins against 14 men don't count in the Six Nations... ;-)

Suddenly a bit more confident. It’s very unusual for three away wins in the six nations. And the u20s won tonight.

I’ll be looking for omens in the tea leaves next but the irrational welsh optimism bias is kicking in.

I think that looks eminently achievable as a forecast given the form of the teams so far.

Hope I'm wrong but Gatland's selections have lowered my expectations.

Italy 23 - 31 Scotland
England 18 - 28 Ireland
Wales 15 - 29 France
