It's that time of year again - who are you rooting for this year? With all the team changes it's probably one of the most open tournaments for years...

I'm supporting Scotland and Wales but I can't vote for both. Should be good, going to watch Scotland versus France at Murrayfield.

I'm going for England to win overall. I will admit that this year they all seem to have increased in how they play, so it should be interesting to see how the teams play on the day.

Just getting comfy for the Calcutta cup, Jocks on one side of the lounge, me on the other! 
I'm fancying Wales or Ireland, not sure about England purely with their midfield triangle so new but one can hope.

Having lived in both countries and with ancestral ties to them both aswell, I'm supporting England and Wales. I will support Italy aswell, gotta love Italy.

If England carry on playing the way they did yesterday, they won't win the tournament. It was more a case of Scotland losing the game than England winning it...Got my fingers crossed its a sign of things to come

I wont argue with you there but the way they play sometimes compared with there potential a win is a win
P.s i do think with the current teams my bet would be on one of the other teams but you got to support your own

I'm not sure you can say what England's potential is now, the team has changed so much. As for supporting your own, that's fine, but you don't have to say they'll win - I certainly wouldn't be thinking my team stood a chance if I supported Italy or Scotland, for example...I wont argue with you there but the way they play sometimes compared with there potential a win is a win

If Wales & Ireland keep playing the way they are at the moment, I reckon they're both in with a chance!

What a finish! A great game of rugby, with fifteen minutes left some of my Irish friends were looking a bit smug but the grins soon disappeared!

I always support Wales! they didn't fail to disappoint today! PHEW! What a game! had me on the edge of my seat all afternoon! but that is how you play a game of rugby!

England to win as i'm English, but if it can't be them seeing as Dad is Welsh i'll go for Wales!
Fantastic game this afternoon though, England have been the poorest team from the opening weekend in my opinion.

with the exception of the spectacularly bad performance by their 10 and their poor lineout for most of the game...
they did deserve the win though i will admit

Very true! Should have been a red card. Managed to do a good job though considering the odds

A very good game today, great to watch. Shame Scotland didn't get that try awarded.

Poor ol' Scotland, they do seem to fluff that final ball every time! Wales v Scotland this afternoon was a cracker though, both teams played out of their skins, a real credit to their sport.
Footballers could learn a lot from them and that's coming from a big football fan!

Saw shades of the same fixture in 2010 today. Two Scottish players sin binned because of poor discipline, Wales capitalise on it. Not quite as exciting at the end though! Always a great fixture.

What an utter shambles it was yesterday. We positioned ourselves beautifully in Slattery's (Dublin) to watch the game, had a minor setback when some French fans decided to camp right in front of the screen but soon moved them on 
, only to have the game called off.

What a match! Wales did so well to hold on with 14 men, could have gone either way at the end. How on earth can you not get sin binned for tackling in the air though?

Yep, daft rule that - tackling in the air (and then dropping the player) at a lineout isn't a sin bin offence! Still, it was a great game, and can be summarised in just two words:What a match! Wales did so well to hold on with 14 men, could have gone either way at the end. How on earth can you not get sin binned for tackling in the air though?
TRIPLE CROWN!!!
