6 Nations with Spoilers

[AndyRM]

First half two sloppy mistakes cost us. Never got going in the second.

Disappointing and a feeling of deja vu off the back of an impressive autumn series.

So much of elite performance is about confidence. After Wales went 14-0 after 11 minutes, Scotland were still in it. But after an arm wrestle for the remainder of the first half, I think they realised there was just no way they were going to compete. Their confidence ebbed (just as Wales' flowed) and the second half was totally one sided. Scotland were abysmal in the second half; no support runners, poor passing, hopeless lineout

Good on Wales for taking advantage of a poor side. But bet against Wales in next game...that was more about rubbish Scotland than great Wales

 

[LarryDuff]

Apparently beating 14 Australians doesn't make you the best team in Europe.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Well I don’t think anyone was quite expecting that.

Well done Ireland. I'm not a big follower of union so I have daft question. Could that have gone on all night until Ireland slipped up and France got the ball or it was run out?

 

[Biff600]

Scotland have left their trophy cabinet open......AGAIN !!!!

Yep.

ETA the longest I saw was about 9 min. Players were out on their feet and it was getting dangerous.

 

[J1888]

Glad that Ireland ground that out!

Last year's Six Nations match between France and Wales went 20 minutes over time.

I had both results wrong yesterday ..
Score line doesn't show the whole truth as I thought Scotland were excellent ..
Ireland look very strong , I have tipped England for the Slam but I'm leaning towards Ireland now ..

.........Ireland look very strong , I have tipped England for the Slam but I'm leaning towards Ireland now ..

I don't see anyone winning the Slam. Too many injuries across all the teams, and with an improved Scotland and France in the mix I don't think any team will dominate. I agree it will probably boil down to England or Ireland. Shame the Ireland France game was played in continuous rain.......and that was an amazing 40-odd phases at the end there, including a cross-field kick.
