Will Ireland transfer their formidable Autumn form into this Spring? Will Wales surprise everyone by storming to the title again this season? Will France finally deliver? Will Italy beat anyone? Will this eventually be Scotland's year? Will a youthful England turn it on to upset them all? 

Why watch the agony and ectasy of the Six Nations at home when you could be enjoying it with your mates in the clubhouse with fresh cask beer on tap?  

There are no 1XV or 2XV rugby fixtures tomorrow but we will be providing a welcome distraction to shopping and chores by screening the internationals (doors open 1.45pm) and to make things more interesting the club is running a Six Nations Predictor competition, with a cash prize going to the winner who correctly predicts the total points scored by the teams during the tournament. 

To date 59 predictions have been soldNumbers are available at £2 each up to kick off (4:45) of the Scotland v England game on Saturday, thereafter numbers will be sold at £3 each. The cost of predictions rises with each round of games. The prize currently stands at £140 and will increase in value as more predictions are made. Trends in points scoring and statistical probabilities will be published in the club as the tournament progresses. Full detials from Parkie the Bookie.
