I'm pleased that Ireland are in pole position. It would have been a shame if Wales had won it on the back of beating a dire Italian team.

We all beat a dire Italian team this year. Oh wait there where two dire teams this year. Wales won't be happy but that's life, they let themselves down against a possibly emerging England side who have yet to prove themselves.

I think I said right at the beginning that it was up for grabs as there was no one outstanding team this year.

But OK that Ireland can win it on the back of beating a dire Scottish team ...

No I agree. Both opposing teams have let England and more importantly themselves down, by just rolling over.

Scotland to a lesser degree. They were outplayed by a better team, and couldn't keep hold of the ball.

I can't see France being a 26 point push over.

Personally think all games should have kicked off at the same time.

Gotta give credit to the Welsh and the Irish.

Now... COME ON ENGLAND!!!

Mountain to climb now.

Hello

Great start for England!


Slime.

Lets hope we can build on this start and not let France straight back, we must cut out the silly penalties though.

Im in no doubt that Owens will ensure that doesnt happen and will be blowing that whistle as quick as he can - he will ensure he is involved.

Damn ref has allowed the French to score a try. It's a conspiracy I tell you.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Has he messed that up ???


England lack a creator in the middle

Well that is very close - looks like he dropped it

Not really, it's a proper test match, not like the other 2.

It seems England have been sucked into chasing points before the game is won

 

[Birchy]

He lost that.

England are going to lose this, all over the place.

Is the correct answer.
Knowing you have to beat a team like France by 26 is a huge weight to carry.
France, whilst not being a good team at the moment, are far from the quality that Scotland and Italy showed today.
England on a hiding to nothing, playing a vastly superior team to those that Wales and Ireland played...
Ireland's Championship.

That will disallowed i reckon

Blimey im amazed as it looked a knock on from Haskell ?

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Owens ensuring he is involved again i see

A lot of truth in what you're saying there, but being honest, France haven't impressed me at all this year. I felt we were far better than them and should never have been beaten. I thought England would beat them very comfortably, based on what I've seen of the teams.

Don't get me wrong, the Scots team that turned up today were nowhere near the standard of France today.
