Not bad but I was hoping for something that might stir the blood a little more because it's going to be fast, exciting and brutal next Sunday with no quarter given!

Cymru Am Byth!

Bladder control even! The perils of typing from the iPod in bed eh?! Must get up and start brekky soon!

So we have some sore heads in the Scottish camp this morning?

Not that the English can be complacent - ok the defence held up and there weren't those giving away silly penalties at sensitive times/place on the pitch but of what I saw of France Italy, I think that the Azzuris may put up a good challenge...

Should be a cracker today - I favour the Welsh - just as the Irish scourges will be out this morning, flaying the boys in green to exact great things with the oval ball.

Hi Phil...
Keith's 10 day old baby daughter (Ella) is due home from hospital today.
..and yes we will miss BOD.

..can I say you will miss Shane Williams just as much....."winger of wicked stepping ability"
That last touch Try of his against Aus in Nov..the stuff they compose songs about.

Seriously..I would not attempt to call this one. Just Bring it on. =) xx

I preferred Ladder control. (Nice thoughts of Phil being a fireman)

[Philtaz]

Yes Shane will be missed but we have experienced players used to playing that position, Ireland not so with BOD.
Didn't realise Earls little one was a new born, glad she's better.
You are right of course, too close to call and I hope home advantage doesn't prove too pivotal!
6 hours until the anthems, not that I'm clock watching!

..something to keep us going =) Media URL: http://www.nme.com/nme-video/youtube/id/CZ5nDTQiTfU/search/inf

Dammit..hope that's not a bad omen lol

[albaqwerty]

Don't jinx it Nora, now that I've decided who to shout for :)

how on earth are Wales behind at HT?

They could try landing their goals, not giving stupid penalties away, and contesting the lineouts, I suppose.

[jno]

phew...

[Noraq]

Well done Wales!!.....fantastic match. (sob)

[jno]

great match, but Wales would have walked it if they'd landed their kicks, not given away stupid penalties, contested the lineouts...

Both sides looked way better than the other four yesterday.

[DTCwordfan]

good game from the neutral perspective.

poor penalty kicking from Wales, and what a prat, Bradley Davies, should have been red, off the ball and a clear pile drive and drop.

However what a game North had and a few others....should have been MoM - Phillips got it.

[Noraq]

Agreed....North was MoM for me.

[Nibble]

Agree with all the feelings from today & yesterday! But feel short changed with the overall standard of the poor fare currently being served up by the Home Nations. For me it'll be France for the Grand Slam, can't see anyone on current form touching them.

But we all live in hope/expectations of something better.
