Thought I would open an topic for the on going Six Nations Tournament.
After a triumphant return to form by England last week, the side seemed quite unconvincing in their victory over Italy. I feel the hype over Wilikinson's return has reached lunacy, the pressure on him to lift England out of their slup is too great, and i'm sure he feels that way too. Disappointing performance from Wales, speaking as a supporter I hope they can regain their form and fight back. France v Ireland will be an awesome game tomorrow, I feel this will be the most important game in deciding who finishs first. My moneys on France.
Really close game today, the French only just won and deserved more imo. France looked dominant in the first half, but a lack of tries meant a good team talk at half time brought Ireland level. Ireland looked like they may have just achieved victory at the very end thanks to a penalty, but France came right back with a try about 2 minutes before the end and narrowly won, just 2 points ahead. For anyone interested heres have the table stands after two weeks: W L D For Against Points England 2 0 0 62 27 4 France 2 0 0 59 20 4 Ireland 1 1 0 36 29 2 Scotland 1 1 0 41 51 2 Wales 0 2 0 18 40 0 Italy 0 2 0 10 59 0
I dont know why but i havent watched the six nations as much as recent years for some reason i cant seem to get into it this year even when Wales are playing im not that interested maybe its because i know the World Cup is this year and im excited about that more than the six nations.
Tell you what, 7 minutes in and theres nothing that brings more warmth to my heart than an embrassing scotish perfomance. 21 to 0 in the opening minutes, a diaster. However having said that Scotland are a team with spirit and they have plenty of time to make a comeback, they just need to stop the stupid mistakes. Being a Wales fan I hope we can muster up this kind of performance against France later on in Paris. Its just too easy for Italy at the moment.
