MORE TAIWAN - BREAKING NEWS

Actually that was a lie just to get you to read this bit...

It's time for this weekends 6 Nations forecasts...

England v Wales - The England team has a much more solid look to it with Robinson back at full-back and Mike Tindall back in the centre. Personally I think Tindall is hopelessly uncreative, but if you want a big strong bloke to run fast straight at people and hurt them then he's he best thing this side of Jonah Lomu. Also Danny Grewcock is back in the second row which hopefully means we may actually win the odd lineout. With these guys back I think England are going to way too strong - Wales may start well but will run out of puff - England by 15 to 20 pts. Chariot back on its wheels and back on track.

Ireland v Italy - Ireland, by a country mile, are the better team. No need to say more. Ireland by 15 to 20pts, more if O'Driscoll has a good game. Go on Danny Boy

Scotland v France - the Scots will stride out proudly at Murrayfield, they will belt out Flower of Scotland with chests puffed out, and in true Scottish sporting fashion La Marseillaise will be roundly booed. And that will be the high point for Scotland. From then on it will a case of lambs to the slaughter. The French are superior in every position on the park and will win, though no doubt being France they will get ahead and then let the Scots back into the game just to give themselves a bit of a fright. They always manage to play down to the level of the opposition. France by 15 to 20, (or 50-60 if my prayers are answered). Allez les Bleus.
