What a cracking start to the Six Nations! Unless you're French.

And we've got the World Cup to look forward to as well.

Hi all, Semi-serious question.
Will the Six-Nations Championship still happen after "Brexit"?
Also, Will a hard border in the island of Ireland scupper the current civilized arrangement vis a vis North & South playing in harmony?
Another Grand Slam for the land of my great-grandfather! TTFN MM

By the time you wrote this post, I had been fast asleep in bed for ages.

Well if he hailed from the Emerald Isle - no.

Never quite understood the obsession with ancestors. My surname is irrevocably Scottish, but l know all my grandparents (and parents) were born in England. I would never claim some allegiance to a country that's long gone in my inheritance.

Kind of reminds me of a black comedian with Nigerian ancestry. After she went to Nigeria she came back knowing one thing - she was British.

Hi Ben, No, things didn't go too well for Ireland, although Itoje should have had a red card for his assault on an Irish player (I think it was Earls?).
When you hit a player in the air you risk serious harm!
Family history has a good following with good reason, know your roots. My great-grandfather may have been born in the island of Ireland, but he to was British. Being born in the 19th century it was all British territory.
But as I only knew one set of grandparents I needed to know something about the rest of my lineage?
My daughter who is a mad England supporter will be crowing non-stop! Not something I'm looking forward to. TTFN MM
