>Sc-Scotland will come good this year
>Wales will finally be exposed in the Six Nations, r-right?
- Scotland are chokers. They'll be narrowly beaten in the first three weeks, humiliated in Twickenham and avoid the wooden spoon in the final week.
- Wales will, as always, step up their game for the Six Nations.
- England will have the tournament won at the end of the 4th week and will go to Ireland chasing the Grand Slam.
- Ireland will lose to Wales and fail to pick up bonuses against anyone but Italy.
- France will be poor to mediocre throughout the tournament. They'll survive a scare in Rome in week 4, but beat Wales the followingl week.
- >Shitaly

England will be beaten out the gate in the final round by a pashun-fuelled Ireland with nothing to play for, preventing England from breaking NZ's record and stopping the annual Grand Slam. Ireland will celebrate like they won the World Cup, and we will be treated to 8 months of cocky shitposting from my retarded countrymen.

>>73945648
Joe STILL r8s them for some fucking reason. If they hadn't gotten injured they'd have started every game last year. Connacht did us all a favour in the Pro12 final.

Despite having lost his spot for Leinster, Rob will start in the opening games. Zebo will be on the bench behind Trimble and Earls. O'Halloran won't even be in the matchday squad. This is despite Kearney having performed ONCE in the last three years. He will have to cost Ireland a game or two before he is finally deservedly dropped.

>>73946478
Again, that's not an argument for France beating Scotland. Have another potato Padraig

>>73946478
>Irelel beating Englel

>>73946555
Scotland have not beaten France in France since 1999. Even is 2013, when France finished last and Scotland finished 3rd, they lost in Paris. It will be France's first home match, after a hiding in Twickenham. The French will be angry, and the crowd will still believe they can win the tournament. The band will be as loud is can possibly be, the TV replays will repeatedly show anything that could be possibly be construed as foul play against France, while dirty French play will never be re-played. The French will go out there looking to hurt the Scots and if someone like Hogg or Russell goes off early, Scotland's depth is a big concern.

I still think it will be a close game, but Paris is a notoriously difficult place to go for any team, even with France's recent troubles, and Scotland's players just don't have that winning mentality yet, as shown in the Munster v Warriors game.

Is that enough reasons for you, my heroin-addicted friend?

>>73946612
I've already explained how this will happen in another post: >>73945909

Ireland have a habit of pulling out big performances in less important/pointless games.

2007: Wallop England after having already lost the more important game against France
2011: Wallop England on the last day of the Six Nations despite being mathematically out and England chasing the annual Grand Slam
2011 again: Beat Australia, but disappear in the more important game against Wales
2015: Beat France, but disappear in the more important game against Argentina
2016: Beat South Africa with 14 men, but choke in the next to games, conceding the series to the worst Boks team in living memory
2016 again: Beat New Zealand in a one off blooter, fail to back it up

I'm predicting a near identical repeat of 2011 v England. England will be uncatchable on the final day, but Ireland will give their best performance of the next four years and win yet another pointless game. The boasting will be relentless, despite England still walking away with the title.

>>73946818
I told you to have a potato friend, calm down.

This "Paris is difficult" shit has only worked in recent years when even a bad French side was still half decent. France are nothing now and we need to give up on this meme of "oooh which side will turn up ". The shite France will turn up.

It will likely be a close game I agree, but Scotland demolished France last year and during the autumn internationals proved that they are now able to handle the pressure of winning. They made Australia look average, managed to grind out a win against the Argies that usually we'd bottle, and spanked Georgia and didn't fall to their level.

As far as the Munster games, Munster are riding "Muh dead coach pashun" that most teams are struggling against and if anything the recent games have shown that the Warriors are getting a hold of them. Anyway Munster are a much, much better side than France who as a national unit are non-existent. Scotland on the other hand have a settled XV, great spirit and everything to prove.

>>73947224
>able to handle the pressure of winning
>made Australia look average
That's a funny way of saying they lost at home by a last minute drop goal

>grind out a win against the Argies
Wow, you beat a non-WC year Argentina?!

>spanked Georgia
Woah, and Georgia too?!

Forget everything I said, Scotland certainly have what it takes to win in France and their fans are in no way delusional.

Well that's literlaly all horseshit

First, Kearney hasn't lost his place, he just came back from injury. Nacewa usually plays wing when Kearney is fit. Byrne and O'Loughlin are fucking babbies and they've been covering wing while Rob was injured.

Schmidt will not start Earls ahead of Zebo, and I've no idea where you got that notion. Earls will be on the bench.

And Dave Kearney's one of the most mediocre players Ireland has ever capped.

>Schmidt will not start Earls ahead of Zebo, and I've no idea where you got that notion

You can't deny Kearney has been muck for years

>>73947367
>Australia
They didn't lose the same way as in the RWC were they cracked under pressure, they just lost to a slightly more skillful team. That's progress.

>Argentina
Usually Scotland would have lost a shitty game like that. Again, it shows progress.

>Georgia
Scotland used to under perform against worse teams because they couldn't handle being the favourite. This time they handled the pressure of being the better team and didn't play down to Georgia's level.

We're also ignoring that France have regressed even further since last time. There's nothing delusional when I've got all this fucking evidence that Scotland are the slight favourites heading into the match. I'm starting to think you're the paddy with a constant hate hard on for Scotland since you're so desperate to bait "LE BTFO xDD".

>>73948187
But kept Earls out of the squad entirely for the final test of the series vs New Zealand.

And he had about a year of bad form, yeah, but so did about half the squad, from the last 6N win til the South Africa tests. When he's played for Leinster and Ireland in the past few months he's looked more aggressive, his running's been better, he's godly under the high ball. I don't rate him as highly at FB as I do Zebo, but I'd much rather have Zebo and Kearney in the back 3 than Earls and Zebo. Or O'Halloran, for that matter.

>he doesn't rate o'halloran
He's been consistently outstanding in a dogshit season for Connacht. He's always attacked well, he's strong under the high ball, quicker than Kearney and for the past year, his last man defence has been excellent.

All Kearney has left is his high ball meme. The performance against New Zealand was a one off. He nearly always runs straight into contact and gets isolated and defensively he's been at fault for a fair few poor tries (vs O'Halloran in the Pro12 final is a particularly glaring example). He's been consistently average for years now and is getting picked on his reputation/familiarity with systems.

Back three for this tournament should be Trimble, Zebo and one of Earls or O'Halloran, with the other on the bench. When Payne comes back, it should be him, Trimble and Zebo.

but none of those players play for the chiefs anon

Just a quick reminder that every single one of these autistically screeching anti-Scot posters were at one time cucked by a glorious Scottish man.

It could have been any kind of cucking, perhaps their gf couldn't resist the fiery ginger bush down below, maybe it was that job they missed out on to his Presbyterian work ethic, who knows?

But the truth remains, they were cucked, and they're hurting. It's ok for them to grieve and to lash out in childish and embarrassing ways, it's part of the natural healing process as they come to accept the superiority of the Scots in all areas of life. Please be gentle with them, as their posts show, they're pretty mentally unbalanced, and even the slightest thing could have them chugging pills and slitting their wrists.

Laidlaw is a fucking cunt.

DESU the only likeable thing about Scotland is that they are lovable losers. Their main redeeming quality is that they are hopeless and that they never win. If they started winning they'd just be like the Irish, and one set of Irish is already one too many.

Scotland should just pick the Glasgow team. I'm not sure what guys like Richie Gray or Laidlaw are supposed to offer.

Oh, I've seen plenty of Paddy-bashing bantz, but usually it's at least post-defeat. This is just ruthlessly putting down a weak team.

I've never seen anything as clinical,concise and cruel as this thread. People are just pulling up stat after stat that exposes the uselessness of the Scotttish team. Scots came into this thread, encased in their delusional pre-tournament bubble, trying to argue how they were favourites in their game against France. They were instead blown away by the mountains of evidence that they are in fact shit.

>>73964731
Again, was there for those, but even then the Irish could at least make a case (a stupid and wrong case that I never agreed with) for why they would make the final. The Scots have nothing. They have simply been beaten into silence before the tournament even starts. After a year of "GlasGODS", "muh Hogg" and "Finn the muscle Russell", that is simply incredible.

Sexton has been both overrated and crocked for a few years now, no loss. Jackson is probably the better player at this stage and can actually last the full game.
Keatley is more than good enough to bench for the game, it's a pity bleyendaal isn't eligible yet though.

POM is the bigger loss, he turned the game against Australia and has been back to his best over the past few weeks. Hopefully he's back for the big games.
