It's odd because Netflix and Amazon Prime are flawless on the same connection, both through a smart TV and a web browser. My BBC video buffers both on the smart TV and through browsers. Perhaps it's something to do with Virgin Media and BBC in my area then? Anyway, not an internet support thread so I'll move on!

One point I wanted to make is that this is a great tournament, but Italy unfortunately just aren't a serious test side and I think the administration should seriously consider removing them in favour of Canada or something :p.

Italy are still getting better and better. just so is every one else. Also, if you were to replace them I think they would more than likely go for Georgia

These last two games should put and end to any remaining doubts about Chris Robshaw's contribution to the team.

Two matches in a row we've been beasted at the breakdown and forwards in general. Clifford doesn't have the physicality to start yet, although still a good bench option.

Agree
 
As I thought Ford is going to Leicester and Freddie Burns is swapping the other direction to Bath. It will only help Ford, even if Leicester are not in the best place right now, his head hasn't been truly on top of his game since Bath sacked his dad. Hopefully he can build back up to his best form again now.
 
My predictions fro the weekend.

  • Scotland by 3 even with injuries (Howley is a liability as a coach and that puts to much pressure on an already fragile Welsh psyche)
  • Ireland by 7 to 10, Sexton will be up for this and if he gets through the first 10 minutes when he will be targetted by every ounce of French beef on the field he'll run the show
  • England to bluster play innacurately and full of mistakes as new combos are tried but ultimately to win with a bonus point
Saturday should be another cracking day of high intensity Six Nations Rugby, Sunday will be a damp squib ;) :)

***Edit
Te'o, Haskell, Care and May starting for England, Agree with the first three (Te'o is wasted at Warriors as he's absolute class and can see him going to Wasps or Sarries soon) and non plussed either way with May, he brings a slightly more maverick attack threat than Nowel but still places himself incorrectly to often in defensive alignment.

Glad Te'o is starting but hope it's more than a one off because it's Italy and he wants to rest someone.

I'd always pick Nowell over May personally. May always looks out of place to me somehow. He doesn't seem to make the yards that Nowell does.

Just eject Italy to be honest. They're plucky but add nothing much to the tournament. Games against Italy would be better served by a grand finale between the top two teams.

Hmm..
Well maybe let them play one half in each match, then eject them.
England will run in fifty points in this next half, but an interesting game from the neutral perspective.
 
Italy have been brilliant. The way they arent commiting to the rucks is very clever. Im not sure England know what to do here. I expect us to win but by a small margin.

That wasn't obstruction, he tackled the wrong man!

Hahaha. First time I've ventured into this thread, just to see what people thought. I agree. The guy he tackled was just next to him and he idly tackled the wrong man!
