Ireland 42-10 Italy
Ireland had a poor first half but I suppose it was a comfortable win in the end with five tries to one. I think they will have to play 100% better when they meet up with France next!!
Wales19-12 England
Enjoyed this game and was very pleased that Wales won the Triple Crown. Credit to England they did not allow Wales to play their open game and I was very impressed with Farrell.
Gee, thanks !!
Some of us didn't expect Wales to walk all over England as they aren't the team they claim to be....a 2 point win over a poor Irish side, after a dubious penalty, and the win over a Scotland side who self imploded.
But hey, England are hopeless and a " rabble " so I hear. Not a team rebuilding from the top down and a whole bunch of new caps who almost made that 3 wins from 3.
Oh dear, seems like i'm in a pocket after labelling England as "rabble" LOL. Becs, I disagree, unlike you I rate Wales, I think they were terribly unlucky on the world stage and if they develop some depth ahead of the next WC then I reckon they could be a real force. I take your point about England rebuilding but geez you have to admit they have a massive job ahead of them almost starting from scratch.
I disagree, Wales had the luxury of a Bok side that had an injury crisis during that opener, massive rest advantage over Namibia and Samoa and never really looked good elsewhere. A few good players, but on the whole just an okay side. England's biggest issue is their pathetic atitude. I see nothing of the hardy men of old. England used to be psychologically tough and proud men. Now more akin to the gutter filth footballers. In 2010 EOYT they looked to be on track, but Johnson was unable to keep these overbloated egos in check. Now that is a missed opportunity on the world stage.
Please ladies and gents lets not squabble about second rate rugby powers when the super 15 is in swing!!
Trust you ladies are supporting the Mighty Stormers? Hehehehehehe
