“Owen Farrell will undergo surgery today on an ankle injury sustained in training last week.     ggrugby.com/eddie-jones-about-owen-farrell-injury-update/
Now confirmed he will miss the entire 6 nations. In other news Johnny May will miss the opening two rounds with injury as well.

Sean Maitland called up to the 6N squad. However he's approaching mid 30s so he'll need to have the training of his life to shift Duhan, Kyle and Hoggy surely. 

An acceptable 6N needs to surely be beating England and France at home and winning in Rome. This isn't the Andy Robinson days where we spoke a big game but delivered nothing. 

In the Challenge Cup last 16 Glasgow are away to Newcastle or Sarries. For Newcastle to play us they need to equal or better Sarries result. So assuming Sarries go to Brive and beat them with a winning BP, Newcastle will need to do the same at home to Zebre.

Disagree, thats not a successful six nations, we need to be aiming higher than that. A win in Cardiff or Dublin coupled with above will give us a good chance, which we can deem successful. I wouldn't imagine any other team, bar Italy, would see that scenario you outlined as successful?

Winning 3 out of 5 should be seen as an average season, winning 4 or 5 a successful season, 2 or less a poor season
