I am in shock...how did we lose to Wales?

Seeing Johnny throw the ball five feet above (and behind) its target was a dark moment for me. 🙁
Having said that, I don't think many teams in rugby could have stopped England in the first half. Some really great stuff that I think warrants each player keeping their starting place (with the four necessary replacements).
I expected Scotland to do a lot better, but at times France were awesome. They'll only get better with the inclusions of the likes of Jauzion and Poitrenaud.
Ireland didn't impress. Any stronger opposition than Italy and they're in trouble.

England played gr8 in d first half but if France clean it up and lose the dropd balls den dey willl coast to a grand slam wif dat back line! Hook was amazing for Wales and Reddan and O gara wer gr8 4 Ireland but as a team France are way superior even wiv dose retirements

Why is it that the Irish struggle so much to inject some mongrel into their pack? They need to watch how England played the first half against Wales (not the second - man did the Poms fall apart) for some tips on winning the collision.

First you seduce your opponent with a dance and a song, introducing yourself with a handshake. Then you enter a clinch, listening to shouts of "hands off!" for a while until the time is right, finally you get beyond the gain line, and you drive into your opponents "22".
The most important thing to remember is the need to pull out, before you tackle late.

or if she's a really ugly task up front.. close your eyes and spin it out to the wing ...you might get one in behind 😉
