Eng Sco was the best game of rugby I've ever watched.

I can't wait for the World Cup now.

Sadly I only saw about 15mins. Saw the last 10mins of the 1st half and first 5 mins of the 2nd half thought "ah well, probably not worth watching the rest, I'll get the nipper to bed". Came down to see Ford scoring!

France looked organised, surprising what a new coaching set-up can do in a couple of months.

Sean Edwards is basically a coaching God in Wales, hopefully we won't regret letting him go.

I read this thread as if it was a new one - the first few posts about how superb England were had me very confused until I noticed the date!

School boy error not playing the whistle when Lawes knocked it back and that has ultimately cost them a draw at least.

First half - no idea what they were doing - second half - didnt watch as thought listening to a terror episode on my headphones in the gym was less painful.

They were slightly more competent and Jonny May put a pin in a Lions wing spot.

I didn't watch Saturday's game, and I know Wales are pretty good these days, but did Italy just stand around sipping coffee or what?

Similar competent Wales of recent years but we kicked less ball away and attacked ball in hand a lot more. Pretty much what Pivac has coached at the Scarlet's.

5 tries to nil is a good start. Bookies had Wales as 4th favourite to win the 6 Nation before the weekend.

Wales are always underestimated for some odd reason.

Unless something radical happens in the next 5 days they're going to tear Ireland a new one on Saturday... :(

Or perhaps not. :lol:

Wales didn’t fire today but no matter - Ireland are 2 for 2.

Happy enough

I was just happy to get through that Scotland game. I think England were the better team, but one of those games that could go either way with the conditions etc.

Missed most of the first half, but it wasn’t very good viewing. Not just cos of the result.

Not a classic weekend of rugby. The weather played as much of a part as the players.

That's 2 games in a row that Scotland could have won ☹️
