Scotland v England, poor game (particularly 1st half), England still with plenty to do with their new set up, Scotland too many mistakes !!, Park's kicking game dreadful, a game full of errors, let's hope both teams learn from it !  :)

The France/Italy game was worth watching and Brunel seems to have madfe a change to Italy already. They looked a far more organized outfit until they got tired in the last quarter. But the Scotlan/England game was dire. It must have been the worst 6 Nations game for years.  The only try was a fitting farce for a match of constant mistakes.

Couldn't agree more on the Scotland/England game Colwyn.

Dire is proably and exaggeration:(

Fantastic game. After one the worst yesterday, today we had one of the best Six Nations has to offer. Ireland unlucky but Wales threw wave after wave of attack against them for long periods in the game. All the tries were really good, and Wales could well have been awarded another one except TV replays couldn't show it for certain. But that just made the finish even more exciting.

Nice to hear a team manager, Warren Gatlin, coming out on TV immediately after the game saying that his player was in the wrong and should have got a red card. Also the opposing manager, Declan Kidney, refusing to make a big deal out of it even when the interviewer was trying to provoke him.

A great day for rugby all round.

Agreed with the pundits on the point that George North should have got man of the match, Phillips had a good game, but George was exceptional, both in attack and defence.

Ah but Phillips has, at last, found out how to hang onto the ball in a tackle.

The Taffs or The Frogs, without a doubt the two most attacking & skilful teams by a mile. Really can't consider any other team for the championship. Wales v  France should be some game.

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-sport/article-24033872-davies-banned-for-seven-weeks.do Should have been 12 weeks IMO for a violent tackle/conduct :o:-\no need for it in the game whatsoever.
