Amen to that!

I kinda stopped watching it. I was really only interested to see Luke McLean (good Italian name

) and how he did. Apparently he's a Brisbane boy with Italian heritage. He did alright and showed a bit of ticker. Something England lacked!

And already in the French/Irish game we've seen some expansive backline play!

There you go, that was a game of rugby. Hopefully we can get more tomorrow, (and maybe an upset?)

I think the Welsh will run all over the Scottish to be honest. But I'm hoping we'll see some good running.

Nice to see BO'D back in form too, he's a class act.

Thought the Ireland/France match was very good, looked at one point as thought Ireland would lose it by not keeping ball in hand as a lot of their deep kicking did little or nothing to gain territory.

You need to be very brave to try that on the French IMHO as they are one of the best running rugby teams out there, probably the best in Northern hemisphere.

It was good to see a generally flowing match not dominated by forward play, you can usually guarantee that from the French if they are allowed to get away with it.

Missed the England/Italy game but by all accounts it was a tad lacklustre.

Bugger!

I had the chance of getting 2 tickets on Friday afternoon, but just missed out, glad I did in hindsight.

Hoping this afternoon will be a good game, but have to agree, Wales should walk this one, (although Scotland have been known to upset the form book at home )

Watched Wales v Scotland, read about the Ireland v France and England v Italy games in the Sunday paper. By all accounts some poor Italian flanker was played out of position somewhat!!

Looking forward to England v Wales on the 14th
