Always a look-ahead date in my diary, and this year has got off to a great start!
Quite what France thought they were doing on Friday, is hard to say. I don’t believe that even Italy have managed to go in at half-time, 16-0 up at home, and still lose. I’d always expect a strong second half with a burst at the last from Wales, and that was what we got... going to be a disappointing year for Les Bleus, on that showing. They looked good at times but that just isn’t enough at that level.
Scotland v Italy, Ho hum. Typical wooden-spoon decider, with Italy outlasting Scotland to run in a couple towards the end. Italy will get a pasting in Cardiff, on that showing. They will also find themselves facing a Twickenham crowd who regard them as having worn out their welcome during their last visit, and an England team who will be looking to rack up the points. They must surely be on borrowed time in the 6N...
Ireland v England, what an advert for the tournament. England outplayed a strong Ireland team at their own game. England, among other things, managed to keep the penalty count down to something sensible, although the yellow card was pretty stupid. Null points in Launchbury’s folder from Mr Jones for THAT little gem, I fancy.
The bookies have Wales to win by a short head, could be. Ireland were second favourites, but I’d say England have edged past on today’s showing. Scotland, who can say, but they will be interesting in Paris...
