Starts on February 3 2007. I think Italy and France are playing first at 13:00 and then are followed by England and Scotland at 16:00.
There is a link here showing all the fixtures which are on Sat / Sunday every weekend till 17 March 2007. It would be good to get down to watch the matches at some venue or other if people are free.
I know that all the matches are on BBC1 this year so we could watch from the comfort of our own homes. . . . . like that is going to happen! :D
PS I think Mr Wilkinson has been tipped for inclusion in the 6-Nations team. . . . rock on.
no doubt wilkinson will be stared at so severely by passing fans his brittle bones will fracture under the pressure. that man has worse luck than someone who's walked under a ladder and shattered a mirror after falling over the black cat
Apparently he did very well in Falcon's game the other day. They did lose about 44 to 5 but that is really incidental to the players individual performance I am sure.

Chrissie, please note that I didn't make this comment, nor did I force Fez to make it either...
I'll happily come down the pub and watch England play...they can't be any worse than our cricketers!
I have a feeling it'll be a close run thing between Ireland and the French for the championship. Any other predictions?
Nothing says "romance" like a kidnapped injured woman!
Putting Wilkinson in too early would be suicidal to our chances of success in this tournament and indeed the World Cup. Therefore, I feel that if we are to include him we must gradually phase him in because he can be nowhere near the fitness level that he needs to be at.
It is either a desperate move by a new coach or a psychological attempt to place the following though ''hang on, that team have the best player in the world on the bench and he'll come on and win it so let's give up'' in their heads. I fear it will backfire because he will just get targetted by big brutish tacklers who attempt to knacker him the moment he is in danger.
France, although it sickens me to say it, look like the have a decent team. The Irish have a good workman-like team with a few stars - O'Gara, if fit, should still be playing for them I think. The Scots look crap. The Welsh could suprise but I doubt it. The Italians? We need to hammer the hell out of them for our own sake of national pride
I agree that he's been rushed back, which could have fatal consequences not just for England, but for Wilkinson's career full-stop. He's only played 40 minutes of rugby in 12 weeks for God's sake!
Ah well, we're not getting paid oodles of cash to lead the team, so I suppose we'd better trust the judgement of the guy who is!

I was in shock when I read that report. I was glad Farrell was in because that guy is awesome when he gets going and is played in the right position. I just hope he is managed well enough and Wilko is cared for. If any sportsman carries a 'Fragile' sticker then it is him. He even challenges the original 'sicknote' Darren Anderton, the footballer, and makes him look healthy!
Whilst trying to work out if amend means "ahem" or "amen", I've realised that I don't have the date for Alison's written down. Remind me in person someone, please!
My continuted adoration? Or, in a more tangible way, a pint. I'll even make it a pint of beer! I'll guess after the 23rd, though.
Anyway, back on track: I'm don't think it's possible to do worse at rugby than we did at cricket recently, so I'm full of confidence. I'll certainly be available for the England match on Saturday, as long as alcohol is available.
