Not a match  for the memory bank - too may errors and poor ball play.   Italy was in fact better than the scoreline suggests.


Just one thing though - the second try of the Italians resulted from an intercept of a pass originated from Leigh Halfpenny.   Last week Saracens score an intercept try as well - and Timo Swiel was written off by some on this Board as a failure because of that try.   So are the same fate going to befall poor Leigh Halfpenny?  


I was reasonably happy with my fantasy selections - bar George North - he was clumsy and his ball handling was very, very  poor.

My selections were a kick in the teeth for me, thought the Welsh were going to run away with this one...

 Thought so too - and I also got bitten by having too many French players in the squad.  G ood luck to you though

You'll get decent amount of points for the French players seeing as they won. North fudged everyone over. Got 2 Irish players left to get points now!

Wales had a below par performance, seemed very rusty will have to improve for next game. France v England was a game of two halves, England blew a good 2nd half against an average French side but what a way to win the match I enjoyed that well done France.

 Only have Sexton and Swinson (Scot lock) left in respect of which I can earn points.   My cheap players were Swinson, Plison and one of the French locks and my poor choice was North - will change him for Brown this coming week.

I think you should've went for the more expensive options at lock, I'm thinking of putting the French fullback in my team for the next round but I'm going to wait and see for the teams etc. Sexton will get you some points, don't think Swinson will the Irish pack look decent.
