    Don’t think England have much to worry about when they play Scotland then..

    A pretty dire second half.

    Well that was a big fat disappointment! Ireland weren’t particularly good but did enough to win.

    No, but the Scotland v Wales, France v Scotland and Wales v Ireland games, still look like they’ll be tight.
    It must be a concern for Scotland that they didn’t score despite all their possession in the second half. Whilst it was Ireland, they were at home.

    I thought the ref was good, what did he supposedly do wrong?

    No, but the Scotland v Wales,

    I think that will be the least worrying game that Wales have after today. Yes, Scotland can potentially win, but they haven’t shown much to worry any of the top three. Blind enthusiasm and home advantage don’t count for much.

    I din’t think Ireland were that great to be honest. Very surprised. 2nd half was dire after a great first half from both teams.

    Very poor 2nd half. I thought Scotland were supposed to be the fittest team in 6N?

    No idea, but Greg firmly laid their defeat as being down to him in his post match interview..

    Some of the advantages played were outrageous, knock on given against Greig when SOB ripped the ball back is what seemed to file him, Hogg trip should’ve been a penalty too.

    His comms with the players and TMO are awful too, his English is really poor so he often confuses words etc and people are left guessing what he’s on about (Obviously his English is way better than my French)

    Reynard wasn’t awful, but I felt the 50/50 ones landed Ireland’s way.

    The Wal-Ita match is carrying on from the second half earlier . It’s the sort of game you’d expect on a rainy mudbath in Div 2.

    It’s good we have the master race to set the example of how to suck up bad Reffing decisions to us minor Celtic teams.

    Italy playing well actually. For second quarter they’re been the better side.

    Amazing how much Wales are struggling at half back currently! Webb has to be in the rwc squad!

    I was more annoyed by Murray having hands in the ruck. Not the best reffing in the six nations.

    I think Wales deserved the win but I don’t think they played that well.

    Grr – wales underperforming again. And two tries which should of been alowed – off JD2’s knee (not above the knee) so no knock on, and a flat pass from anscombe

    and a flat pass from anscombe

    It really wasn’t. It was forward and a correct decision.

    More concerning is why everything this weekend is going to the TMO compared to Scotland’s game last week, where every dodgy try was waved on.

    Wales are winning the championship on points not scored, anyway. 😁

    Scrappy win but Italy whilst not put to bed never really looked like winning. I’ll take that with the team put out.

    Umm clearly above his knee in the replay.

    From that picture or the replays? You must have a different definition of ‘clearly’ than me – I thought it hit his knee, although I am far from certain.

    Looking very much like Wales will need to win all their games to come top – not looking too promising at the moment.

    You cannot accurately view 3-dimensions from a photograph, you cannot be sure he is in contact with the ball at that point.

    If you watch the replay, his right knee, the bandaged one is below the ball and his leg knocks the ball forward. Its 1hr 53 in to the show. https://www.itv.com/hub/six-nations-championship/2a4295a0024
    Also reviewed at 2:21 where its clearly shown.

    England and France women look head and shoulders above the other NH women.

    Let’s hope the men can keep up the winning run over France after the U20’s and ladies both win their matches.

    I’m just waiting for last week to be a false dawn and a steaming heap of shit to be served up at Twickenham today.

    This could well be a rout of England keep this up. Big ask for the French to not let their heads drop.

    They’ve really lost the kicking battle in a big way.

    if the french pack run out of legs in the last quarter as suggested this could be a rugby score

    What’s going to happen when France tire in the second half?

    I know France are Franceing, but it’s getting increasingly hard to see beyond a na England grand slam now. They look very sharp.
