Irish just turned us over [ Wales} although we fought back in the 2nd half. Theres only so many defeats a welshman can take lol When is it all going to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cant wait for Brian O driscoll to retire as he is improving with age lol he didnt put a foot wrong all match flair, creativity best passing skills and tackles like a man made of steel.

Wales Ireland - you don't often see a match with both halves so one-sided...but to different teams. Well done the Irish though. They were worth their win, and it's never easy to win in Cardiff.

Inverdale is a total nobber.

Excellent win for England! A bit like watching a northern hemisphere v southern hemisphere match from a few years back - man for man Scotland were at least on a par, for strength, speed and endeavour. But tactically, as a team, England were in a different league. Great stuff!

Good opening day for this year's 6 nations - two highly entertaining matches, full of genuinely good, open rugby (and almost bereft of kicking ping pong).

Another great game! Well done Italy! Some of their handling & movement was positively All Blackesque, and they kept the French on the back foot pretty much throughout. Thought they might nick it at the end, being French, but they didn't....quite. Can't remember a better 6 nations opening weekend. Let's hope it continues in the same vein.

Very Impressed by Italy this afternoon, and delighted they beat the French.

Thanks for moving the debate forward in such a constructive and entertaining manner Rocky

Has Noodley started stirring the porridge yet?

Scotland may have just lost the Calcutta Cup, but they have both hands already firmly on the wooden spoon!

 

[Noodley]

I reckon we'l be lucky to even win the wooden spoon...

Excellent result for Italy...!
