My suggested 6 nations forecast not far off the mark +8Rich ? All to play for. MM PS Been away due tech, e mail loss, and ‘work’ commitments But catching up an all your posts now. Well +8Rich, unfortunately I cannot remember how to repost a previous post sorry . However and I don’t want to sound smug but if you go back to my post of 1st February Girl on Motorbike, you will see that my forecast of : France England Ireland Scotland Italy Wales Was 100% correct !! You also said no one would beat France………hmmm ……..you are a genius on all things Morgan (& many other things to) + Johns views I was unsure about BUT I love and know about rugby Sorry all, I’m not really feeling smug , just milking my v lucky bet . Thankfully I did not win enough to buy the new Supersport . Have a wonderful Sunday all, MM PS Now for the women’s 6 nations…….views? Well done all round you deserved the win Mike and you take the crown as that was a long shot. Looking forward to the women’s games now. p.s. Low of the tournament the French not realising it's a contact sport when their Barbie Doll took a hit, they moaned for the world. We all know the Irish fight till the death and that's what makes any game they play worth watching.

Italy through away a real possible win against Ireland . I also liked the batting performance of Scotland . Wales really had a bad 6 Nations . Most teams on paper are only a few percent from each other and it’s about making those small margin pay.. I did not see the Scotland Wales game , so accept John’s view that Wales performed well that day.
Loved women’s rugby for about 10 or 12 years now . Initially it was a bit weak in all skills but today it is often a good watch .Dor me it just rugby now and we have two great women’s club teams
I have a bet that we will not win the World Cup ( very happy to be wrong ) It might be Canada , oh sorry the USA as it could be part of the USA by then !? MM PS it was good to read that some of you guys in the South West had a Hive picnic ………on a hot early summer morning it can feel like the Med looking out onto the water.

I went out for a Morgan run as the weather was so good and didn't watch the Italy game, I thought Scotland had the French worried at times a good match. I was a bit late onto the women's game around 4 years now but I admire their skills and spirit. Packers being from the SW makes a difference. I haven't a clue genuinely about the World's but looking forward to them. Yes some of the boys love it, I'm not a club person or member of MSCC horses for courses. We are lucky down here in the 51st State with the weather  This is a 15 minute walk away from home so .... It's a free privately owned beach that has a dog ban from April 1st to Oct so beautifully kept and car park discount for locals, we don't need to travel..

Well you rugby lovers . My money is still safe as I have had Canada to win the Women’s Rugby World Cup for the last 2 years . My love for England means I really want them to win but I have doubts unless they really up their overall level of performance. Sure they have creamed the competition so far but with lacklustre in honesty. Big points suns but not clinical enough. France have been average so far but they have come within a point of England twice in the last 2 years, so I have concerns about tomorrow. Sadly I have a physical Canada over England in the final but ……. England were the better side against NZ at the last World Cup final but lost & perhaps it will be the same result this time round. England have the talent both in forwards and in the backs to beat Canada if they play to their best but are they just wondering when they will loose their amazing unbeaten run? Best MM PS think our throw in is suspect . Canada so few penalties and a great throw in .

Canada were amazing tonight against very strong opposition and to be honest I don't see anyone beating them in the tournament.
Their total positional flexibility and stamina elevated the game and confused the Kiwi's, probably helped by the fact very few people have seen them in action.
A very deserved win.

I think my Canadian bet looks good ! What a shambles. Currently saved by Botterman . And what was that throw in ! So many mistakes. Such a poor first half performance……..surely we cannot play as badly in the second half. 4 times more tackles than France. France should be two scores ahead although the French try I think was from a foot in touch (?) England please get it together , I want you to win. MM

Will be a tremendous final and one I forecast way back ………..don’t care about my bet . Two great top teams . I think Canadian forwards will perform but if Abby and Ellie Kildunne and the backs perform we could win . MM PS At last Ellie was smiling as she has looked unhappy recently. PPS We are at a wedding weekend in SWest London so cannot go to Twickenham but might hear the roars

Sorry but I like rugby as much as Morgans. I believe NZ have won nearly double the games against France over recent years but I am backing (betting) on France to win. NZ have been one dimensional, good go forward running but not to creative, France currently have more creativity and can change their game plan if it is going wrong. NZ will of course be hurting and could play better. Great rugby to watch - 4 best teams slugging it out. MM

Some great games, England will have to slip a couple of gears to beat Canada as they're on fire right now and bring a real breath of fresh air to the tournament with their style of play.
The Kiwis will beat the French I believe as they know their game.
