Good stuff.
I’ve tickets for the two home Wales home matches and always get excited at this time of year.

I'll take the ticket for the England game off you - if you want?I’ve tickets for the two home Wales home matches and always get excited at this time of year.

Well Scotland are now probably going to win their opener against England at Twickenham - my wife has been gifted two tickets for us but on the two previous occasions I've gone to watch England there they've lost 
Well last 2 times I watched Eng v Scotland we won.....including (long time ago) with a very dodgy Jonny try in the corner when he was clearly in touch so.......I could take the tickets from you to avoid the risk!!! Madness60 said:

Anyone else find it really sad that the RFU has pumped their prices up so high that they're now having to flog the Italy game really hard on social media!
I remember being really chuffed the first time I was successful in a ticket ballot, as it felt like being given special access into an exclusive club. Now, the ethos has gone.

Whilst I’d love an England bounce following the appointment of Borthwick, and it is entirely possible, were I forced to bet my hard earned it would have to be France. They’re definitely building towards the World Cup and have to be favourites for both competitions.
I think there’s also a not insubstantial chance that we’re about to see downfall Ireland 2023 if the past is anything to go by!
As far as England is concerned for now I’d settle for the Calcutta Cup!

Re Scotland, I'm a bit less optimistic due to their injury problems.
Missing Darcy Graham, who is the man who creates most in attack.
Also Hamish Watson and Rory Darge. One top backrower out is bad, two even more so.
Funnily enough the player I think they'll miss most is never flashy or particularly prominent...Zander Fagerson. He's just one of those quietly effective guys.

Those are some big losses. Maybe Wales have a chance of finishing above Scotland this year! Missing Darcy Graham, who is the man who creates most in attack.

Rumblings that Watson and Fagerson will be fit for the England game. Missing Darcy Graham, who is the man who creates most in attack.

From Townsend's press conference yesterday :
"Hamish is scheduled to play [for Edinburgh] a week on Saturday. Stuart Hogg is back running and is contention to play this week but it might be next week. Zander, I’m not sure whether he’ll get a game [with Glasgow] but if this week goes well he should be back in full training next week."
Having said that confidence is low this year. Ireland and France well ahead of Scotland. Wales a bogey team in recent years. Italy on an upward curve and will be a proper handful. England a bit of an unknown quantity but I think will be too fired up and strong for us at Twickenham.
3 wins this year would be great.
D'Arcy Graham is a big loss for Scotland I agree - always impresses.
The inclusion of Ben Healey is interesting - hopefully this means Townsend has finally given up on Kinghorn at fly-half who was never convincing in that position.
Real shame Hastings is injured - we need a quality alternative to Russell when he is not on form or gets sidelined for some other reason.

It would seem that tickets for games at HQ are available at the standard (but still very expensive) price. Don't ever remember that previously.I remember being really chuffed the first time I was successful in a ticket ballot, as it felt like being given special access into an exclusive club.

That's amazing, I don't think I've ever seen tickets available at this point for England v Scotland. They must be ballot tickets that have been returned as there were none available about two months ago. Shame I'm away that weekend or I would have gone.https://www.six-nations-guide.co.uk/tickets.html
