It was shit wasnt it. Well taken try though and its a win in Paris. Not an easy thing to do. So far I've got both predictions wrong so england should win tomorrow.

The French were the favourites to win the whole thing little over a week ago. The scots must fancy their chances now, and rightly so.

An appalling game, I thought Wales played poorly which shows quite how bad the French were. What is Michalek doing there after last week! No creativity, no ideas other than bosh it up the middle. And that was badly executed.
Roll on tomorrow's game, Ireland by 7 ( which I really don't want to happen but think it will)

It'll be just their luck if "good" France turn up that day. They really are a Jekyll and Hyde team.

No AA I would call it as I saw it.

That was a dire game although I have to say think Wales defended well which caused France to run out of options and game plans.

I'd be surprised if Michelak plays next week. That is all.

Great result, not the tidiest of games, but then again not the tidiest of pitches.
The Welsh try was bang tidy though.
So far I'm happy with the results today, let's see what tomorrow brings.

Well played Scotland and Wales.
England is on a different level though.

Tomorrow is going to be a tight one I suspect.
I will settle for a good game compared to the total shite that was today's games.
Italy were not good, scotland not much better, same goes for wales and france.
The wales - france game was awful. Apart from one good try it was all kick it up the other end, and Adam Jones is going to get nailed for boring in at pretty much every scrum as soon as the refs start watching

Yeah I'm not sure any refs have ever watched Adam Jones before. The young pup will be found out soon. Does anyone who knows anything about scrums actually know if tightheads bore in. I thought that was a looseheads job.

I have just watched the game again, it was a dull game but wouldn't call it shit. It was defensive stalemate, the really disappointing aspect was Frances lack of ambition. Someone might suffer a backlash 😆 cliche cliche. Not sure why Adam keeped getting pinged the pitch was a joke and neither was binding. To be truthful I have have no idea what goes on in there.

Fair play Gogzilla took the try brilliantly.

What I dont get is why france put freddie at 10 and the play a power game with no flair. All they needed to do was kick to the corners and maul us to death. If Bigger or TrannyDuck had played ten they would have won.

Jenkins and Jones are hard to tell apart what with having such similar hair styles.

I agree there AA, Michalak is a flair player, and was asked to run a bosh game (and defend at outside centre!?) game. Stupid idea.
Still, a wins a win. I'd take that given 8 straight defeats.

Onto the important match now. The better sides in action.

As a scotsman I'm very happy with yesterday, thought the forwards played a lot better and fronted up and as was said by the analysts the line speed in defence was excellent (you could even hear the lads shouting line speed through the ref's mic). Yes two tries were from our own half and the Scottish defence was poor just before Italy's 10 threw the interception pass to Hogg which could have so easily been a try for Italy. But we were in the Italian 22 3 times in the first half and came away with points on each occasion. Thought the back row were very good and the scrum was a lot better. A lot to be worked on still but a win.

As for Andy Nichol, I'll forever like the guy as he gave me a Scotland A playing jersey and tracksuit when I was a teenager in the pub in Elie, but listening to him is brutal, Dallaglio was trying so hard to balance the analysis from an Italian point of view. In saying that you're lucky you don't watch RTE with Tom McGurk, Brent Pope and George Hook!!

Jonathan Davies was more biased than usual yesterday. I caught him using the word "we" rather than Wales several time. Tbh his voice / chanting (num-bers) and assumption that the 10's can see his view from the commentary box is winding me up.

Looking forward to a totally unbiased view from the Pitbull thus afternoon 😀

I dont see Jiffy as biased more unashamedly pro wales. I'm sure I even heard Sir Clive say we.
