There is no depth in English rugby. Look at all the has-been (and never-were) southern hemisphere players that play in the domestic competition. Those guys would never get a game in their home country.

Without Wilkinson, Johnson, Back etc we will see this lack of depth exposed. Jason Robinson at centre!? The outside backs will never get the ball, he'll be so busy dancing on the spot.

1. Ireland
2. France
3. England
4. Wales
5. Scotland
6. Italy

 

Ireland won't win the Six Nations, I am Irish myself but I know for sure they won't. England will win.

 

Don't talk wet Harbourboy .

France are my biggest worry!

Michelak and co. are going in at full strength and have the home advantage. 'Hopefully' England will have too much class though.

But I'm not convinced we will be as hungry as we were last year though. Might give some of the younger guys abit of experience.

Will be tough!

 

I already bet some money on France.

 

Ireland, easily. Now, what exactly are we talking about?

 

Rugby! You buffoon!

 

We'll see. That England does not look as dangerous as the one that dominated world rugby in 2003. And surely you can find a better centre than Jason Robinson.

 

You will see how devastating Robinsons darting runs and almost inhuman pace and change of speed will be in the middle of the park .

Although Wilkinson and Johnson will be missed horribly . Back has been called up btw .

 

Rugby is p*ssy sport, just a group of swetty men touching eachother in places where the sun don't shine(actually saw this in a game that I saw here in Sweden) on a field, and saying it is "sport." Ptt, thank god for Football, or that those odd people call it, Soccer.

 

A ***** sport? Rugby? Have you ever watched it? Its one of the most manly and violent sports going. It has a 'Blood Bin' fir christs sake!

 

At least Morsmodre and I agree on one thing. I'd much rather play as a centre-half in soccer than a tighthead prop or openside flanker in rugby. A rugby forward has to run more and get slammed more than any soccer player. But I'm getting off topic.

Jason Robinson's inhuman pace and darting runs only work against inferior opposition (e.g. Scotland). Against good teams, he just dances around on the spot going nowhere, then gets tackled. Of course he has done SOME good things - like scoring that try in the World Cup but generally speaking he spends more time dancing on the spot than going forwards. That was bad enough on the wing where often he wouldn't be put in any space anyway but at centre his job will be to pass the ball to Balshaw etc. And unless he changes his game completely, the wings will never get the ball.

 

Scotland Forever!

 

*Ahem*

What was it you were saying about Robinson being in the centre Harbourboy?

 

Ahem - read again what I said about him being awesome against 'inferior opposition'. He IS fast so he can carve up teams that do not have their defensive patterns organised properly. But, the good thing for him about being at centre is that he should get the ball more often so should get more opportunities to show what he can do. I still think he is massively over-rated.

For a team that is currently number one in the world, all that matters is how you play against the teams that are nipping at your heels at the top. Any of the top 6 teams could put 50 points on Italy. And any of the French backs could run all over the Italian defence.

 

Robinson is the fastest player in World Rugby. His little shimmies are devastating against ANY opposition. His quick changes of direction and pure power in his runs are pure class. He's a superstar in Union. He will be the star of this Six Nations tournament. Just watch.

My only concern was our kicking... In big tournaments like this, its vital that you capitalize on any points you might have available. Wilkinson (Mr NeverMiss) will be missed against teams that won't allow us to score 7 tries . Where as France, with their little wizard Michelak are gonna be a very tough team to beat.

Then again, England just don't concede many tries, whoever they are playing. The defence is the best in the World.

GOnna be interesting in the Stade de France...

 

The fastest player in world rugby is Rupeni Caucaunibuca. No one can touch him.

Robinson should stick to wing or fullback. A real centre like Tana Umaga would impale him. What happened to England's proper centre anyway?

England will still win the Six Nations. The french are too dodgy and wilt under pressure. Ireland - 2nd or 3rd.

 

Ireland !

 

France are a shoe in, imo.

 

??!!

There are probably half a dozen players faster than Robinson playing at the moment!! As well as Rupeni Caucaunibuca mentioned above, do you not remember Doug Howlett leaving Robinson for dead on the outside in last year's test (and Howlett was carrying a ball)? Plus, Joe Rokocoko is faster than Doug! That's three players already and I reckon Lote Tiquiri and Wendell Sailor would give him a good run for his money as well.

Credit for England's current dominance lies with Wilkinson and the forward pack. Those 9 players are awesome and better than just about anything from in NZ, Australia, or France. But the other 6 players (including Robinson) are just ordinary.
