Ireland surely will beat Italy, interesting to see if Scotland can beat a poor French team. Best game of the three should at Twickenham, will Mr Jones keep his word and not get involved in some pre-match verbals with Gatland?

I really wish they would stop listing the clubs
Re: Six Nations Week 4
Hendy out injured, but otherwise the fact that only 1 of our forwards is deeemed good enough to make the squad Says a lot about the weakness of our pack.

Don't care what Madigan wears at the RDS. It's part (a selective part) of his nation's history. I'd like to think he would have a wee bit more decorum than to wear them in Ireland duty.

I get the 1916 reference, but why the Romanian flag?
