Enjoyed the Scotland/Georgia game, some great tries, found the Welsh just as boring as ever, and England had quite a scare, but a good win in the end with only 14 men for most of the game.

So, Rugby League gets played at Twickenham; Wales finally play some decent stuff; Scotland secure a good win (expected); Ireland out-muscle the Aussies; Italy disappoint after last week and France lose to NZ.

Nice to see the Northern Hemisphere sides giving it to our Southern Hemisphere friends, but as Bobr2112 states above, I wonder if all these sides are now beoming a little too 'cosmopolitan' ? It's almost like watching 2 Barbarian sides playing each other each week. It seems if your granny shopped at Asda, sometime in the last thirty years, it allows you to play in that country!?!

Still better than watching those over-paid fairies in the Premier League :)

Do you think the TMO is ruining our game?

Lots of slagging off going on at the moment between Michael Checka and Eddie Jones before the England/Australia game this weekend. Hopefully the match will be a cracker, but played in a sportsman-like manner.

Yes, really looking forward to the game although I'm a little surprised Jones is getting involved with the 'sledging'  Maybe there are old wounds not yet healed or some history we are not privvy to. Australia vs England in any sport is enough to raise the tempo, but even without 6 or 7 first choices in the XV, I still expect England to edge it. If the Aussies play like they did in the first half last weekend, they could find themselves 20 odd points adrift (Heres hoping!)

I only saw the highlights on BBC so missed 50% of it but there were quite a few fortuitous refereeing decisions.

Rubbish. The referee had a brilliant game for once and it was the TMO that made the decisions. It was brilliant last-ditch defending which showed a strength and desire that the oppenent 'will not cross' unlike the soft underbelly which is all too apparent in other sides. What is evident is that some of the home nations have moved their game to a different level and others haven't and you can look forward to England beating and extending their unbeaten run next February against the French

Thought England played to their strengths and beat the Aussies at their own game. They have come a long way in the last year and are developing a strong pool of talent which Eddie has had the guts to assemble. He has done a great job for English rugby, I supported his appointment and selections from the start, but there were a lot who didn't. A few doubting thomas' on here as well.....

How do you feel about an England team being led by an Australian ? To me it's like a Cumberland wrestling team being coached by a bloke from Appleby.

Who is Vern Cotter?????

In answer to your question B####y Fantastic.....
