Scotland 9 England 15

Hmmm, not very convincing....

England again a bit like the curate's egg. I wonder if Jones now realises that England get pinged by most refs for the slightest, but hardly ever get the same calls. He is allowed to say it. He's not English.

We was robbed !

[shoota]

Mind you, it would have been a more respectable scoreline if all the kicks had been good, I suppose, but I still think England were lacklustre.

What a disappointing match.

There is such a gap between the skills of the southern hemisphere
and the 6 nations sides as to make one wonder why we pretend
that we compare in any way.

[DTCwordfan]

the surge forward, if there is to be one, will come from the youngsters......not too many of those on show today as to both teams.

good result for England but please eddie do something , we bored the sweaties to death.

Ireland v Wales. Ready and waiting here. 'She who must be obeyed' has done Wales to win by 6 - 10 pts. I have done Ireland to win by 11 - 15 pts. But have not told her. Discretion being the better part of valour, and all that.

Cymr am byth,
Wales just equalised 13-13 :-)

[Togo]

Great game retro. 'She who must be obeyed' is hiding behind the sofa.

[Togo]

Well first exchanges over. Only two sides can win the grand slam now.

Very fair result there 16-16. Neither team deserved to lose that match imo. Brilliant entertainment . :-)
