Don’t know what they call it lol. I just know that next week is a week off. I suppose some have injuries to recover from and some have had a lot of travelling to do. Some may be play for their club sides next week. I know what you mean though. They seem to moan if playing more than a game a week. When I was swimming I would often compete in 9 different events in one day.
Just heard on the radio that a 27 year old rugby player playing for his club side was injured in his match over the weekend and has died in hospital this morning. Very sad.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

I'm sticking my neck out on the first game and going for :-

Scotland
England
Ireland

Scotland are capable of beating France at Murrayfield but will have to be on top form and England will need to play better than they did against Italy to beat Wales but I think home advantage could just help them do that.
Good luck all

I am just hanging on until latter in the week.

One of the games looks fairly obvious, but one is a toss up. Even the bookmakers are looking a bit uneasy.
