The 6 Nations Experience started with the views and predictions of leading journalists Stephen Jones (Sunday Times) and Lauren Salter (BBC and Prem Sports )

The Grazing Goat Gastro Pub in the heart of the West End was the venue for over 50 guests of the club to be able to listen and ask Stephen and Lauren questions on the upcoming 6 Nations tournament and of course the state of Welsh Rugby in general.
Stephen, a former player and current member of LWRFC and spent over 42 years, recently retiring, at the Times/Sunday Times during which time he became one of the leading voices in workd rugby. As expected he offered a clear and uncompromising opinions on the topics discussed.
Lauren, offered some great insights into the tournament and being uniquely connected to the current movers and shakers in Welsh rugby she was able to provide some 'from the horses mouth' anecdotes on the current thinking in the WRU corridors of power along with the direction she would love to see Welsh Rugby follow.
Asked by our very own MC Gareth Vaughan Jones which country do they think would win and which they'd loved to see win the upcoming tournament, Stephen felt England were favorites but would like to see Scotland actually top the pile whereas Lauren felt France may pip the Championshio but Wales should always win it !! We can live in hope !!!
