RBS Six Nations 2016

Both a good & fair score, Scotland played well, with more heart than usual. I will look forward to the Italy v Scotland game, if Scotland can keep their agressive attitude they may finish above Italy. Playing at Murrayfield is never easy, Scotland prove that every game They are there.

Both matches could have gone either way, even though England did win with a bit in hand. It certainly was obvious that this was the start of the 6 Nations, and the matches next week should produce better rugby.

Lancaster's team won a ( deserved ) Lancaster's style victory!

Italy deserved a victory in Paris

Shame about Italy, would have loved them to beat France. 

Eddie Jones is shrewd enough to know that only having a couple of weeks with England his best bet was to stick to a team that had played for the last few years together and for them to play in the manner that they were used to. And they still ahve the same old problem of giving away far too many penalties. This time it didn't matter, in the end, but if they carry on this way they'll be made to suffer in future games.

If Lancaster had been in charge today,, then England would have lost. No doubt about it.....

Just 3/4  of  an  hour  before  Sundays  Game  kicks  off  !  Wonder  what  sort  of  fist  ITV  will  make  of  it ?!!

Not so good at the moment IMHO. Let's hope the game is more exiting the yesterday afternoon's game.

Ireland  at  home  are  doing  what  Ireland  at  home  do  so  very  well  !!  33  mins  gone  &  13 -- 3  now  39  mins  &  13 -- 10

Wow! Today's match was undoubtedly the best of the weekend. Two teams playing excellent rugby, building attacks through multiple phases rather than continually kicking for territory. A draw was probably fair. Both teams are better than anything we saw yesterday, but a dropped point for the draw might cost them both in the end.

One other impressive thing about today's game was the behaviour of the crowd at place kicks, largely silent for both teams as opposed to yesterday's ill mannered whistling and booing.

Can't wait for next week's instalment! 

Spot on M, superb game. My money was on Wales to overcome the depleted Irish but I'm glad I was wrong. Both teams proved to be warriors. Draw? Deserved sharing of the points. That's what makes the 6 Nations tournament special, games like that. Can't wait for next weekend
