I am. But then they've already ripped my team in bits 🙁

i didn't think france were that good. they were good in defence 1st half, but 2nd half wales made them look ordinary. they never looked like scoring other than the 2 gifted tries. if lee byrne could kick into touch the result may have been very different.

i'm not sure if wales were brilliant 2nd half or if france were just lucky 1st half.
i don't think any team have looked that good as yet, but there have been plenty of entertaining games. really enjoyed it so far this year.

France for the slam methinks,I think they will be too good for England,mind you I am praying we are too good for Italy today,because I am not sure we are 😕 A.A your chubby little commentator went some way to redeeming himself last night!

My personal feeling is that Wales are trying to work out how to play the rugby they want to play in time for the world cup, and not worrying too much about this year's 6N. Loads of fancy stuff was tried and it kept not quite going to hand – but they still kept trying. Looked a bit like training to me.

Exactly the feeling that I came away with last night.

What worries me is why they need to go into the half time break before anybody can work out how to play against the opposition. It didn't take a genius to see how France were defending, and therefore how to counter it, so why didn't the players see that OR why didn't the coaches pass the word down before half time?

I've complained about refs many times, but I'd love to know how Kaplan could justify a penalty count of 7:1 at half time. On my TV, I could see the French coming in from the sides, killing ball, lazy retreating at rucks etc, obviously the ref couldn't. Their defence was good because a lot of the time they were just that little bit offside.

The ref killed Wales in the first half, and part of their comeback was due to the fact that he attempted to even up the penalty count in the second half.

Having said that, Wales didn't deserve to win. TWO interception tries is ridiculous at this level.

Hopefully we'll see two good games today. Sorry, Scots and English guys, but I'm supporting Ireland and Italy. (Ancestors from Ireland, and errrrm, I like Rome??)

Thats OK idlejon, I was a very happy man last night!
Phrase of the night; "allez les bleus".
England and italy for me today.

Bu66er.

I do like Italy to win some matches but could they please beat someone else next time?

Good win for Italy. Scotland looked without cutting edge how they missed Lamont and Evans! Danelli/ southwell is distinctly less threatening.

3 best teams won this weekend….

wilkinson was indeed crap.
and care.
felt sorry for wales tho.

Wins in Twickenham don't come easily so I'll take that. It wasn't pretty, but we still scored three lovely tries. Ireland's domination over English rugby, both in 6N and HC continues. And I **** love it.

ah well, still won 2 and only lost 1 so not too unhappy really

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha humbled at HQ 😀 well someone laughed at Wales the other day. 😉

I thouhjt JW started really well no kicking actually broke the gain line a few times, then Ireland scored and the belief went out of the backs. Not a classic but a good win for the potato munchers. What happened to Haskell just vanished? Cueto is a class act.

I'm sure Englad will take some positives from the game…

A.A Your chubby little comentator,That little git Davies,and even though I have known him for 20 years,Andy Nichol is not coming across well,but be thankful,the local games are done by an ex Scotland "b" hooker who they were grooming.He can barely speak,so you may be looking back fondly at AN.Every country seems to have one,with the exception of the Irish.Davies,Moore,Nichol.
Mind you if the call came through,would any of us turn that job down.Travel Europe on the beeb,best seat in the house,for what,two hours work? I long for the day when you are slagging off my match analysis from Dublin/Rome.

I was reffing so thankfully missed the Scotland game,and somehow do not think I will be pressing the red button.I did see the England game so will add my tuppence worth.England strike me as a team with no confidence,who are all playing like they are scared.I thought JW had his best game of the tournament,although still short of what people expect of him.There is no point in dropping him,who are they going to bring in? Ireland tackled their hearts out and managed to do better than expected in the tight.And that draw and chip for the try was genius.

LOL @ DeadlyDarcey.I would enjoy it if I were you,that was your biggest ever winning margin at Twickenham.

a-a, I'd say that if the ref says that there is time to restart, then the game HAS to restart – kicking the ball badly into touch does not restart the game, so should be retaken, regardless of how much time has passed, until the opposition can touch the ball.

The ball must be handled by the opposition. If that isn't the case, there is no point in France taking the restart.

Obviously these aren't laws, just what I'd think the spirit of the game to be.

Being Welsh I'd say that Michalak should have been penalized for kicking the ball away like that, but that's probably just bias!

(Unfortunately Wales are becoming specialists in this niche area of the laws……… Italy 2007, Scotland 2010, France 2010….)
