Can't say I had any clue how many there were (I have so little interest in the sport - this despite the fact that I've been dragged kicking and screaming to Welford Road in the past) - just a lucky guess that I managed to touch such a raw nerve.
Yes, a lucky guess indeed. Either that, or you read too much rubbish British press about the All Blacks.

So Scotland did it... I honestly thought they were the best team the All Blacks played on their tour to the UK, I wonder if they can go on and win it from here.

I'd still be a little surprised. They have two away games to finish &, whilst they may fancy their chances in Rome, to win at Lansdowne Road is always a very big ask. If Ireland win a similar amount of ball to us the O'Driscolls & the D'Arcys will be licking their lips. Scotland's line-out was fairly ordinary & their pack still couldn't really dominate us when Grewcock was shown the 1,000th yellow card of his career.

England were easily the best team in the Autumn internationals....

OK OK... In future disregard anything I say when England lose on match day.

HAHA.

Scotland played well enough to win, but not for a second did I think they played well. If England even hit second gear, Scotland wouldnt be able to cope. As it happened England were entirely outplayed.

Wales trail at half time....

Shame he hasnt had any match practice. God awful haircut!

Yeah. With the fake tan he looks like Andy Garcia circa The Godfather Part 3!

A bitty half. Lots of mistakes & I don't think Kaplan's helped matters by being a bit whistle-happy. After the first quarter of an hour I thought Wales were going to walk away with it, but Ireland have slowly gained a foothold. Flannery probably should've scored too, excellent cover tackle from Byrne.

Hope that's one of many defeats coming the way of Wales. Their manager/coach resembled a drunk when he was being interviewed.

Fair play to Ireland. Wales weren't in it at all in the second half. If you listen carefully you can just hear the sound of Mike Ruddock laughing! You reap what you sow.

Hairgel's decision making was lousy & I lost count of how many times Lee Byrne was caught out of position. A great game from the three Ireland loosies collectively, were all huge at the breakdown. They made sure Ireland had their share of ball.

Think we'll see a citing for Gethin Jenkins too, charging into the ruck with a swinging arm isn't on & it looks like Marcus Horan has quite a nasty neck injury as a result. Hate to see any bloke badly hurt, but neck injuries can be career (and life) threatening. Hope the big fella's ok.

Ireland were the only team this weekend to play well.

Very disappointing weekend of Six Nations...

Honestly, no.

It's very rare for me to read anything in the sports pages beyond the cricket or Derby County. Mind you, if it was a story about a UFIA (unsolicited finger in anus) or similar rugby-related story, I couldn't resist.

Seriously, I have nothing against New Zealand at all, and my only feelings regarding sheep, in common with many Kiwis and Welshmen alike, involve cumin*.

I don't get why everyone says he should have scored,he ran as fast as he good,made a beeline for the corner,got tackled,got up and tried to reach the line,but Peel got him first.

What more could he have done?
