Doesn't seem to be one, so here goes for the Rugby Union fans.

Can't see England winning the 6 Nations, its got to be between Ireland and Wales.

Wales! Wales! Wales!

It's nice to be favourites at something! I'm hoping we can go all the way again :)

That was a close game and we almost hit the self destruct button. Didn't play very well but we got the job done in the end. A spirited display by England and a lot better than they were last week, they could have won if I'm honest. This maybe the wake up call that we needed to make sure that we don't lose our crown.

Funny, I didn't think that England deserved the win at all. Wales were far quicker, stronger, team players. There were moments of English power and skill, but it never lasted.

For some reason, I think that Wales will lose against the French. Dunno why but I get the feeling that it will be a scrappy match, low scoring, couple of yellow cards maybe. Course I have been known to be wrong in the past ;)

I think England are getting better but needed to work more as a team and what's with all the cards lately? They need to sort that out asap before anything else as that is what will cost them games.

One thing that baffled me on saturday was when England took Paul Sackey off, why? was the question that sprung to my mind. He was a constant thorn in our side and looked a threat.

I still hope that Wales can do the grandslam but if not though the triple crown at least.

OK apparently there are two players who are going to start for France that 1) doesn't play in the position for his club 2) doesn't kick for his club.

? W ? T ? F ? is Lièvremont thinking.

Oh yeah, why Friday night FFS? Purely commercial reasons IIUC.
