Pre- Six Nations Poll Result
2004?

After encouraging displays at the World cup we asked you where you thought Wales would finish in the forthcoming Six Nations.

As you can see a third of the 95 voters believed Wales would make a major improvement on last year’s
wooden spoon and make the jump to third spot. Such a move would most likely see us have to beat a team other than either Italy or Scotland. The less optimistic of you believe that fourth is the second most likely outcome, with 19% going to
it. Those of the more Prozac inclined can only see us reaching the measly height of fifth position. The other of third believes that taking England’s Six Nations crown, or at least threatening to is possible. Add that to the percentage who choose third as their choice, interestingly two thirds of the overall vote can see a top half finish for Steve Hansen and his squad in this years championship. I’m sure a lot of people’s minds will change after Saturday’s game against Scotland, last years opening day defeat with Italy set the tone for the for the rest of the tournament.
