Six Nations 2010 **Spoilers**

Pretty impressive performance from the French thus far, but you can't say they've created all that much. All their points have come from Welsh errors.
 
Depending on how England perform tomorrow, I fancy our chances of beating France. Whilst the French were mightily impressive in defence in the first half they showed very little in attack. If England keep the mistakes to a minimum I can see them at least drawing.
 
Well certainly a less polished display from the French in the second half. I didn't think they were ever in danger of 'doing a Scotland' though.

Looking forward to the games tomorrow.
 
I have been so impressed with Trinh-Duc this season, I though he played well in bits last year but he and Parra are without a doubt the half back pairing of the tournament so far.

It was good to see the some professional rugby players out think their opponents for once, it seems to be a dying trait in the professional game. I don't know if it was led by the coaches or players but in the second half Wales finally worked out how to beat the French blitz defence. The shock of that gave France a very sloppy 10 minutes. Although they did seem to let themselves get penalised out of the second half having been so discplined in the first half.

The telling bit for me was how they steadied the ship from in the 4th quarter scored some points and just took the chase beyond Wales. It was a real sign of quality.

Conceivably Wales should be 3 - nill down but for a Scottish implosion. For all that they do well Wales just lack that winning composure at the moment.
 
Gah, that was rubbish. Scotland should not have lost that yet a complete inability to finish and two remarkable bits of defence from Italy in defying Alan Jacobsen and more impressively mavity itself meant that they did. Too little in the way of inventiveness and risk taking with a poor line out again - it's times like this you begin to wonder what is going on with Scotland.
 
Poor poor refereeing by Mark Lawrence today. We have a penalty at the scrum, then another for Thomas O'leary being a male chicken but both are reversed on Danny Care for dumping O'leary.
