    Pimp! :D

    You're right though and that asumes that England beat France which is open to debate. France have been less than imperious so far but still win.

    I'd settle for the Triple crown for now and look toward next year when we should have a backine with Murphy, Hickey, D'Arcy, O'Driscoll + AN Other. . . AND we'll have both France and England at Landsdowne Rd . .

    Tough call on who'd take the fifth spot there: Henderson, Horgan, Maggs or someone else (always assuming that everyone comes back fit and ready to go)

    Would love to see Henderson back to his best playing in the centre with O'Driscoll . .

    On England v Wales:

    Can't see Wales winning but hard to say by how much England will win by. Wales could suffer from the backlash effect with England determined to exorcise the demons of last Saturday, and they do have a much stronger pack. But Wales could still hold them to less than 10 points. Even at Twickenham.

    On Scotland v France

    France traditionally struggle in Murrayfield, but of late they've done much better and it's hard to see this Scottish side troubling them. But then they beat England a few years ago as total no hopers so you never know. However, France by at least 15.


    Now. Could we put 30 points each on Scotland and Italy?

    True enough last year was a record win but this year we have (possibly) a better team and they have, from all appearances to date, a much worse one. Also we have them at home. Plus Laney may still be playing, just picture him against D'Arcy and O'Driscoll (or even Reggie)
