RBS 6 Nations 2010

Matchday 4 of the RBS 6 Nations 2010 takes place this weekend. All eyes will be on Murrayfield as Scotland host England (8/15) for the Calcutta Cup.

The England starting XV shows two (surprising) changes to the side that lost narrowly to Ireland. Joe Worsley switches from the bench and replaces Lewis Moody while Louis Deacon comes in to replace the injured Simon Shaw in the second row.

Former England head coach Andy Robinson, who has rebuilt his career as the Scotland head coach, will be determined to deliver the Calcutta Cup. (more…)

Review

Another disappointing week for our long shots. Two 0-0 draws frustrated our football bets, Thongchai Jaidee didn’t quite cut the mustard in Malaysia and a first round nightmare for Carl Pettersson ended his chances at the Honda Classic. His second round was superb, however, and more of that later….

RBS 6 Nations 2010

Matchday 3 of the RBS 6 Nations 2010 takes place this weekend. All eyes will be on Twickenham as England (unbeaten in 2) host Grand Slam holders Ireland in what will be a highly competitive clash.

The England starting XV shows no changes from the side that defeated Italy. On the other hand, Ireland make 4 changes to side that was outclassed by France. Notably Leinster’s Johnny Sexton replaces Ronan O’Gara. Sexton was impressive in the Autumn Internationals and his excellent performances recently for Leinster have been duly noted by the national coach Declan Kidney. (more…)

Review

A frustrating week this week. Stoke did the business for us against Portsmouth before Mallorca cost us a nice profit by losing their first home match of the 2009/10 season. Stacey Slater (not Ian Beale) killed Archie in Eastenders and Ross Fisher had a terrible WGC World Matchplay, losing in the first round to Thongchai Jaidee.
