The greatest sporting event known to mankind kicks off this weekend; the Six Nations. True to form, I may have to miss some of the best games while I'm travelling to and from gigs, I was pissed off to learn that England vs. Wales kicks off at 5pm, I have to be heading off to the Coppid Beech hotel in Bracknell for an evening's musical discharge, I'm hoping that I can catch all the game and still be soundchecked on time (before heading to the swimming pool/sauna/jacuzzi! It's good to play at swanky hotels!).

England are now without Johno, J Dubbya, LBND, Back, Greenwood, and are blooding two new caps at centre, who are 18/19yrs old. After some great performances against the Kiwi's and the Saffa's in the Autumn, this could be the best chance Wales have had to beat England since Rod Timber let Scott Gibbs dance his way to the line at Wembley in '99. Come on you Dragons! Any team hard enough to let two of their props perm their hair and expect to go unpunished should do well at some point.

Ireland will probably win, will probably provide the key men on the Lions tour this summer, and will probably be the most popular winners of the grand slam since LBND provided the post-competition entertainment when he was captain of England.
Sport = good. Only the rules change.
