6 Nations 2018.

iainment

So Scotland aren't what they thought.
Wales didn't have to do too much to win easily.
France poor, so far.
Ireland just doing what they need to.

So the big question mark tomorrow is what sort of a marker will England lay down against Italy. If any.

Eddie Jones very confident, looking forward to it.

Ross

Optimistic.

Will play well against Italy, but may give us too much confidence if we play too well.

French rugby in a bit of disarray at moment. I watched them play SA at Stade De France a couple of months back and they were poor tbh. Gone seems is the free-flowing French game of the past.

McBobbin

Very disappointed with Scotland. Thought they had turned a corner, but were very poor

This could be good news for England.
France have not looked convincing, England have to visit Paris on 3rd March and play Ireland at home later.
Lets see what the last 4 mins brings.

The_President

Incroyable!

cantersaddick

Wow.

Wrong result for us though.

After 40+ Phases Sexton drop kicks in the 82nd minute .
15-13 to Ireland

Shame!

Sets England up for a big St Patrick's Day ruining win though eh?

guinnessaddick

Great finish, how many phases? 41
Then the drop goal.

Here’s Johnny.

How does the match doctor call a head injury when the player goes off with a bad knee?

Need to have an independent doctor and not French.

It means the player can come back on again if his injury gets sorted. If not head injury then has to be straight sub.

The_President

Both teams will get stuffed this year by England.

Something needs to be done, apparently the French did the same thing last year in the game against Wales in the 100 min game.

Not unless England play for more than the final quarter they won't. I'd love to see us stuff the Irish but think it will be very tough

Aside from the 40+ phase of the Irish today, I wasn't impressed with either side tbh.
However, France always raise their game against England. I am hoping to go to the game.

North Lower Neil

They all raise their game against England.

Addickted

Both games were played at a very slow pace.

Englands quick passing game and speed throughout the team should see them safely through to win the grand slam they should have won last year.

I think Wales might have a big say in this years tournament.

iainment

I think they'll all get better. It was poor rugby this afternoon I thought. Although the Welsh will be pleased.

It all depends on whether England can hit the ground running tomorrow. A good performance and all the others will be worried


Great morale booster for Ireland in the end though.

If it was in Cardiff then I would be concerned - but I expect England to beat them next week at Twickenham.

robinofottershaw

I was in Cardiff today for the match. The atmosphere was great but would like to see a re-run of the game on the tox to better gauge how well Wales played vs Scotland played badly.

robinofottershaw

...or even the box!

Daarrzettbum

Scotland were poor but Wales were good, Ireland were unbelievably dogged and France disappointing, England to win but 20 odd points tomorrow with 5 tries.
