Last day tomorrow!

Yes, six weeks gone already my friends and we are nearly across the line, but who will be sitting top of that table tomorrow evening? Wales or England for sure, and if you believe the bookies then Wales are already champions! I'm still certain England can do it and we've a lot of great players back from injury for this one; though I suspect they were being rested against Italy because it would be such an easy game, haaa!

Pos	Team	P	W	D	L	F	A	PD	TF	Pts
	England	4	4	0	0	91	48	43	5	8
	Wales	4	3	0	1	92	63	29	7	6
	Scotland	4	2	0	2	82	84	-2	6	4
	Ireland	4	1	1	2	57	59	-2	5	3
	Italy	4	1	0	3	53	96	-43	4	2
	France	4	0	1	3	50	75	-25	4	1

But before that we have Italy v Ireland at 2.30, an all catholic event in Rome and a new Pope just down the road, who seems eccentric enough to turn up! I think Italy can win this, mainly because Ireland have nothing to play for and Italy have 'avoiding the wooden spoon' to play for.

Wales v England at 5.00 is the big one and Cardiff is the place to be. This city is unique in that it doesn't have enough pubs to cope with the capacity crowd of the Millennium Stadium, and that's why you'll notice everyone trying to leave 5 minutes early! Once the pubs are full, the bouncers won't let anyone in until someone leaves, and nobody leaves because they know they won't get in anywhere else. Did you know that Cardiff airport is nearer to Bristol than Cardiff?

At 8.00, the very last match of the 2013 tournament sees the once great France v Scotland, with the French looking for their first win of the tournament; now that's never happened before! The French will surely win but even then they could end up with the wooden spoon. 

The final table will go up here on Sunday along with a photo of the new Champions…

Over a thousand hits on this blog in the past 6 weeks has made me think this a very worthwhile bit of fun and I look forward to linking up with you all next February when I hope to visit Dublin.

Who's coming?
