Who will be watching the 6 nations rugby this weekend?

Anybody fancy predicting scores?

About the 6 Nations

For those who don't know what I'm going on about - the "6 Nations" is a rugby tournament which runs every year with Wales, England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy and France.

The team who beats every other team (no defeats) wins the "Grand Slam" or, if nobody wins the "Grand Slam" then the winner is the team with most points....fairly easy I think.

BUT there are also sub cup winning fixtures that are in the tournament - Scotland and England fight it out to win the Calcutta cup; Wales, England, Ireland and Scotland play to win the Triple Crown, the winner is the the team who beats the rest.

My score predictions:

England 12 v Wales 18

Ireland 21 v Italy 6

Scotland 7 v France 17

The Ireland match had about 15 minutes of actual exciting, decent play in the entire match. They're going to have to up their game next week against the French.

England aren't playing amazingly, especially in this second half, but at least they are winning! :)

I didnt watch the Ireland game....so cant comment I'm afraid.

Wales v England - we had some good banter and cheering in the Student Guild where I was watching it. First half, some good defending from the lads in Red but there was no need for Alun Wyn Jones to stick his leg out the stupid git. Well done on one of the hair bear bunch in scoring a try, every try England scored was from foul play, eg knock forward, off side.....even the first England try caused accident offside when the try scorer ran into his own player before scoring.

Poor side, poor play, poor result for Wales.

I saw most of the england match.

England weren't bad, they made less mistakes, but they struggled to get the ball going forward, wales seem to be a bigger threat going forward but mistakes from them allowed england to put together some points.

I'll be honest, my hopes going into this match were low, we should be able to win against Italy, but againstthe others? I'm still aiming low with my hopes, as long as we reduce the mistakes made then I'll be happy.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
