So for this weekend's matches, Manu Tuilagi is back in the starting XV for England, and Courtney Lawes will also be starting, and Paddy Jackson will be making his test debut against Scotland. My predictions:

Wales over Italy

Ireland over Scotland

England over France

I'd agree with those predictions on the whole.

This might be of interest to Wales or Italy fans: BBC Sport - Rugby Union has just shown me this... oh dear Italy. BBC Sport - Six Nations 2013: Banned Sergio Parisse misses Italy v Wales game and the rest of the Six Nations.

First I'd like to thank you all for making this an active thread, as there isn't nearly enough rugby talk on CD. Semi- off-topic, but would anyone also be interested in a thread about ideas for expanding rugby in North America?

Here, here. Love me a bit of rugby, not enough interest on city data for a forum on it but hopefully enough for a thread. If America gets interested in rugby theyhave a big enough pool of people that could make them a good team giving American Footballers could easily adapt with a few years practice.

There is a lot of localized interest in the sport in the U.S. Lots of local teams and around colleges there are usually teams to be found. We are lucky we have a local highschool boys team in our town.

I am surprised that France is doing so poorly this year. ughh.

Well... not a good performance by Scotland today but certainly an impressive one, a good result for them anyway. You have to wonder about Ireland for the next two games though, will they blood more young players and go for performance not result?... have to wait and see.

Wales vs Italy yesterday was a non-event sadly. Wales did what they had to and did it well enough but Italy looked like they did 5 years ago, sad.

Terrible result for Ireland. I don't think Kidney will be around for longer to be honest. Need a change at the end of the season. France will want to avoid embarrassment by smashing us next. We could get the wooden spoon. I suppose, someone needs to make it look glorified. You are welcome Italy

Good win for Scotland and England. Looks like its England's now unless the Welsh do something against them on the last day. Wales got the result yesterday. Not the best game but I am sure Welsh fans will be happy.

I have to say I am surprised at the way Italy have gone since beating France. I thought they would of had a boost and did better this year. Surprised at the collapse in the Italian scrum to.

I think someone should create just a rugby thread for everything. It would be nice to have a thread where you could discuss the 6 Nations, Heineken Cup, the Lions, Rabo Pro 12 etc......

Except rugby league cause that is ****
