OMG! I figured this would be the most exciting of the opening weekend but if Ireland beat Wales with just 14 men, I fancy them to win the tournament.

Not what I’d hoped for.
Very dissatisfied with Wales in particular.
They need a good rucking session.
Loads of talent... fucked off every other ruck when in possession.
Clear out you big red tampons! |

Well held on waleswith a little bit of Irish idiocy in the end.
Has be said though, Wales underperforming massively and so talented.

Agree with that: Wales nearly managing to pull defeat from the jaws of victory, despite being a man up for 65mins.
Ireland looked solid.
Wales underperformed. |

The latter I reckon.
Not impressed with the changes he’s made either.
England might put in an improved performance but I’m just hoping for an entertaining game to be honest. |

Congratulations to the Welsh players, and Wales. But as a Scots supporter I have to say: "Dammit Zammit".
I thought Johnny May's try was special, but Zammit's was that Welsh wizardry all rugby supporters love but wish happens when they are not playing your team. |

Entertaining game once the kick tennis died down a bit.
I really don’t understand why the french changed their tactics for that game but then again... they won.
Maybe it’d been much easier if they’d played like they usually do, or maybe not.
Onwards to the grand slam!
Allez les blues. |

Silly mistakes cost England... jumping across the line in the line outs... blocking runners from kicks, which is one of my biggest bugbears
I think the ref had a stormer to be honest..... not normally the biggest fan of french refs but this one was good
Also... Toby is my lions starting 8.... you have to believe AWJ and Itoje will be the 2nd row..... I think the 2 welsh wingers are in good starting XV shape.... and north at 13....
Watson and Farrell are the only English backs i would take to be honest....

I enjoy the banter but I am far from anti English and I can appreciate your frustration
I am so pleased to see Faletau back to his best, I was worried he would never make it back but he has proved me so wrong
From an England perspective I cannot grasp why Eddie continues to turn a blind eye to Sam Simmonds in favour of a totally unfit Billy V |

You can just see from looking that Billy, Mako and Jaimie are totally out of shape. Eddie is totally cutting off his nose to spite his face. There are lads out there playing week in week out in the English Prem who should be there without a doubt

Personal opinion: I’d like to see the bottom team in the Six Nations have a play-off with the top European team in the next tier Rugby Europe International Championships (Georgia, currently), with the winner having a 6N place and the loser dropping down for the next season. |

It was an "interesting" game. I'm gutted by how poor England have been for the last 6 months or so, but Wales were the deserved winners.
I personally don't think that the first two tries were "right", but Wales would still have won regardless. |

The silly mistakes costing England I completely agree Fabio, they all know better than that, especially at such a high level game with cameras seeing everything.
Is Farrell the only English player who can kick a ball? Why did he attempt that long range kick? Would have been better to play it and get some flow going, as when they did, England looked good.
If you disallow that outrageous first try, and add the 9 points Farrell missed, I made it a 33-all draw

They looked much more fluid than we did when they put phases together and at 24-24 I thought we might be up against it.
The thing for me is that England still don’t have a plan B and Farrell isn’t a leader when things go badly. If his forwards give him an armchair ride, he runs things well.
Anyway onwards to Italy. Sheedy to start at 10 but no major changes and then Paris for a Grand Slam game - fingers crossed |

Silly silly man
They looked much more fluid than we did when they put phases together and at 24-24 I thought we might be up against it.
The thing for me is that England still don’t have a plan B and Farrell isn’t a leader when things go badly. If his forwards give him an armchair ride, he runs things well.
Anyway onwards to Italy. Sheedy to start at 10 but no major changes and then Paris for a Grand Slam game - fingers crossed
Sticking with players like Billy who don't play any club rugby is destroying them "
Definitely - when Sam Simmonds is scoring tries for fun |

Pleased with our performance, although we took out foot off the gas tblhe last quarter
Tough one to call this
On form I'd go France
But England are desperate for a win
I wouldn't like to call it |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Definitely happy with today. And I’d happily give the man of the match a FAB  reward |

It’s really close: could go either way.

France’s support play in and around the ball on defence has been immense ... and have done it without all the silly clearing out stuff... |

Wow! Talk about scra ping victory from the jaws of defeat.
I did think they played better this week but still predicted they would lose. |

Clear grounding in the first split second he crossed the line
Brace missed it as by time he came round it looked like Teddy held it up
Good call by Neville |

The Irish TMOs are notorious for shitting out on the big calls
Neville got this one spot on |

Did make me laugh when the first look on the camera the female tmo said “ooof... that’s close!” ...lol
Whichever way the ref gave that on the field I think you could have stayed with that decision and neither side would have complained |

I thought it was a great game, a huge improvement in England's play, especially their discipline. The French played really well too, and won't feel they've done much wrong.
Personally I think it was the best game of the tournament so far.

The first thing she said was “go with the on field decision” which I thought was the right call... that was too close to reverse the call for me |

As always, hope its a good fast flowing game |

Super Saturday
Scotland v Italy
Ireland v England
and then the big one
France v Wales
Scotlands postponed game against France is scheduled for next Friday , however if Wales win today, it's the Grand Slam done and dusted.

Scotland win ????
Scott Steele for Ali Price and Hogg moves from 15 to 10 in place of Russel .... hmmmm
Not convinced with Maitland at 15 ... he’s not that great under the high ball ... so I expect Italy to keep testing that all day and picking up the fall out |
