Nae really, that's the Six Nations. But the Rugby World Cup starts today so it'll hopefully prove a welcome distraction from the Dons tepid start to the season. Japs should beat the Russkies in the first game but the real fun will start with Frogs v Argies then AB's v Saffers both on Saturday morning.

Quite an open World Cup with the All Blacks not looking their usual dominent self. England alas look very strong as do Wales. Scotland come into the tourney off nae a great 6 nations in which, apart from the second half against England, they always looked as if they would leak a load of points.

Favourites - New Zealand
Form Team - Saffers
Dark Horses - France

I look forward to Mason's contributions being limited to a snidey "I agree" and everyone else making veiled and not-so-veiled references to rugby players and homo***uality.
