Only just caught last weekend's games. Once again, really frustrated with Wales. We had every chance to win the game but our attacking play was truly knuckle-headed. That's two wins we've left out on the park now. I do think we've shown England a way to beat France though. Stymie their plan A and they don't have much of a plan B.

Speaking of England, that was a big-hearted performance after the early sending-off A worrying statistic though, for English fans, is one try scored and seven conceded, during their last two home games. HQ's fortress has become leaky.

Scotland were comfortable enough against Italy but it was nice to see the latter being a little more competitive, for once. They were ultimately done in by individual errors including a couple of howlers from their scrum-half. However, with a lot of decent young players coming through, there's plenty of potential for the next couple of seasons. Not against Wales at the weekend, though, hopefully.

Italy ??????????

What a try to win it and away at Wales

Fabulous result for Italy, building further on their great effort last week!

Just watched the Italy Wales game from a bar in Paris, what a cheer for that Italy try.
Off to the France England match this evening, going to be a great atmosphere whatever the result.

Lots of very good humoured French fans around ??

Have the Welsh claimed a moral victory yet?

No but Biggar has shelved any responsibility as usual...shakes his head, looks at the big screen, sorts his hair out...and repeat!!

I can't hear those "Italy shouldnt be in the 6 Nations...." comments........

 

[rudebhoy]

Scotland must be setting a record for penalties conceded.

Far far too many ?

Teed off at Newport at 12.15.

My mate booked it as "not bothering to watch Wales win by 30 points now there's nothing to win. "

On the way round, the other 3 (all Welsh) are debating who should replace Italy in the 6 Nations as they are "a joke."

The Englishman in the 4 ball (me) is keeping quiet as expected a stuffing off the French later.

We walk into a packed clubhouse after the game, it's like a morgue!!

I grinned so wide, I dislocated my jaw!! No need to say a word! Funniest thing I've seen in ages.

I can't hear those "Italy shouldnt be in the 6 Nations...." comments........

To be fair, they had lost 36 Six nations games on the bounce. The tournament is far better with them as a genuine team though. Sorry to Wales but that was a great result for the tournament.

 

[IanM]

I think other nations just pleased it wasn't them!!

I can't hear those "Italy shouldnt be in the 6 Nations...." comments........

To be fair most are not calling for Italy to be out, most opposed the SA idea. Most just want the rest of Europe to have a chance at least via a playoff with whoever is bottom

Just look up because that’s where the ball will be - kick kick kick

Not going to plan so far

France looking good and England making some basic errors again. Why are there southern hemisphere refs in the 6 Nations? Are there a lack of suitable refs from the 6 Nations countries or do they simply bring in the best refs no matter where in the world they're from?

England getting what they deserve- poor game plan and even worse execution of that game plan , Ref helping out the French as well.

The one positive is it might help giving Jones the boot

They get appointed by World Rugby so could be anyone except the country that’s playing
