No one loves the game more than I, but is it morally right for the Six Nations to go ahead this year?

The French government have recently forced the postponement of two rounds of European club rugby, but insist the Six Nations are not in doubt. So Toulouse cannot travel to Exeter, for example, because it’s not safe, but France can still travel to Twickenham in March?

I understand there are "tighter bubbles" in professional rugby (indeed all professional sport) but is it right to have a Six Nations competition this year?

Perhaps a 4 nation home tournament should've been called for? Whatever, it's going ahead (at the moment) and for me, whoever wins on 13th March at Twickenham will lift the trophy.

I don't think so, Scoutman !! Yet another v a i r y dodgy try for England and against a side one short for part of the game.

Not in my experience☹️. I personally support all the home nations until we meet each other but I regularly see this from the Welsh & Scots-‘Anyone but England’🤷🏻‍♂️😊

Well an England win against possibly the strongest team in the 6Nations. Mind you it took an over ruling of the on field decission.

As an aside, I can remember when women were only allowed in the clubhouse on a Saturday after a game. We've come a long way and now a member of that gender makes that dramatic call and England win!

They deserved that last try for sheer perseverance alone.

You could not script the competition. They may not be the best teams in the world, but no other competition comes anywhere near for excitement. If only England cold play off the cuff and not like painting by numbers all would be good.
