Clean sweep for Southern Hemisphere ...............

as Wales slump to a record 10th defeat .................... time for Gatland to take a hike.

Fiji lost to Scotland last weekend so there's no clean sweep unfortunately.

A bit early too tell. England probably should have beaten New Zealand but sabotaged themselves with what looks like a pre-planned substitution.   Australia where good against England and I rate Joe Schmidt highly but I wouldn't read too much into one match.

Ireland where very sloppy and deserved to lose against New Zealand but again its too early to read into that. I didn't think New Zealand looked particularly good against either England or Ireland.

Wales are rubbish. Good on Fiji, they where the better team but they are hardly going give Ireland or France trouble.

Italy where closer to Argentina than the score line suggests. Argentina's first two try's where pretty flukey to be honest. Think once Argentina got more than 3 scores ahead Italian heads dropped.

South Africa beat Scotland but that was expected. SA are simply a better team than Scotland.

The word you are looking for at least three times is ‘were’ not ‘where’. 

The teams are very close at the top. It will be interesting to see where France are. The one thing we clearly do better than any other world team is scrum. Game after game it turns close contests in our favor, taken for granted by Bok fans. This is so clear one would like to see some sort of technical explanation.
