The Wales England game was on TV in the States. A few hours delayed but I recorded it. I was impressed with England especially their 2nd phase work. Looking forward to the 6 Nations this year.
Having lived in Scotland and having welsh relatives, I'd rather win the 6 nations that the football world cup (well, Euros possibly). Must be because of all the anti English abuse followed by a snotty refusal to take the banter back when we trounce them. This tourney has got off to a great start.

Obviously Rob, 'cos the Beeb have a history of bias against Ireland ( or was it France?) Unlike some posters who look at the BBC in a completely neutral way all the time... ;-)
Didn't see the England game, but I would have expected them to turn Italy over as they did. Italy aren't progressing & whilst they can be difficult at home, they seem to fall apart outside of Rome.
Ireland toiled a little, but France are an enigma of a team and I thought it was a well dug out performance. After 3 months out because of a series of concussions, Sexton was superb and certainly wasn't fussed about getting stuck in and went looking for Bastareaud (think Bikey x 2) early on! That pic above was after the two clashed again later & both were blood subbed for a while.
I believe the result, a fortnight today in Dublin, will sort out this year's Champions. COYBIG!!

Against the French, but it don't matter because the BBC have got a history of covering up nonces (and still do) so I can say what I like about em.

France 6-3 up on Scotland at the minute. Scotland just had a great chance to score a try but ended up with a missed drop goal attempt instead.
Not taken. 9-8 HT
I think France will end up beating the Scots comfortably although the Scots gave it a go in the first half.
Unlucky "brave" Scotland!
Ireland v France to start in 30 minutes.
C'mon Ireland

We conceded 3 tries to Italy didn't we? Concern ?
