2015 6 Nations

That's exactly the start england needed. Only a grand slam will do if they have any aspirations of a repeat of 2003 this autumn. Impressive heart shown by a good, but under strength team in a hostile environment. Although there was a great rendition of swing low in the second half!
 
Absolutely brilliant game, still grinning. Fantastic that England didn't get disheartened after the first 10 and then just kept Wales out of it for the rest of the 80.

Probably wouldn't have Ford as MotM, thought Haskell would have got it.
 
England had a good night last night, thought Mike Brown had a great game. They really closed Wales down after half time. Disappointing Ireland performance in Rome, it's a win but they need to be playing wider. France v Scotland could be interesting, I know the Warriors are doing well but to have so many players from one league team in the national squad doesn't say much about the quality of grass roots rugby in Scotland.,
 
Cracking weekend of Rugby and another one to come! Oh how I love the six nations.

Heart was in my throat on Friday night but England Completely deserved it.
 
Irrespective of who was playing, same old boring, one dimensional style from Wales under Gatz. As a Welshman, I find it cringe-worthy when we play lack-lustre or out-thought like this, and it is now becoming too frequent. When you watch England, Scotland and now Ireland, they are becoming good with each game. Wales have remained stagnant since winning their Grand Slams. The old routine of charging down the middle and smash 'em, has become stale and out-witted. The team no longer play heads-up rugby and have totally forgotten how to chase down the ball after clearance or box kicks.

Worryingly, getting beaten by England is becoming a habit lately and I believe that Wales will not crawl out of the WC qualifying group.

Finally, WRU fiasco with player wages and clubs going into debt, have not helped Welsh rugby. Infact, it has probably knocked the professional level back 5 years. I am glad that it is resolved and the use of dual contracts is slowly dripping out, but the positive impact will take a few years to fruit. As for the fireworks and laser show, surely the money would be best spent on grass roots development, especially up here in North Wales?
