^ Italy are failing so badly atm. Goode is playing well, but kicking badly. The whole team seems to really be doing well.
I want Wales to win followed by England. Generally due to the fact I'm half Welsh and only a quarter English.
Wales have also been a very good team over the last few years and in my perspective big contenders for the next World Cup.
and Sam, what do you watch then? 11 Men running around a pitch crying and jumping on the floor whenever someone gets within 2 feet of them? (I don't have anything against football, I just HATE this diving stuff and how they ALWAYS disagree with the ref.)

Come on the Paddies and beat them frogs...
As per usual I don't care who wins, as I'm not a rugby person... But will look out for the English and Irish scores...

From the first round of games I think it is quite clear that either Wales or Ireland will win.
England (despite winning) played schoolboy rugby and were handed all 4 of their tries. Despite a good performance from Goode.
France were disappointing to say the least, there's a lot of promise in that team, but the tactics sucked.
Ireland performed spectacularly from start to finish, totally outplaying what should be (and probably is) a pretty decent French side.
In the first half, Wales played exactly as they did last year in the second half against England, pure genius and how rugby should be played. But after the break? What the hell were they doing? It was a poor performance against one of the 2 contenders for the wooden spoon.
Italy and Scotland need not be mentioned in terms of championship at all :lol:
But at the moment I'd put my money on the Irish, they got a much better result from a great performance against stronger opponents. But as I said before it's a toss up between Wales and Ireland.

You're being a bit harsh on the Frogs there, it was their own mistakes and ill discipline that cost them but they were lovely to watch in attack! Definitely the best game of the weekend (where did BOD suddenly get that pace from?).SchumacherFerrari said:
Changing half the side, losing Martyn Williams for 10 mins, and relaxing. Game was won and they play England in 6 days.SchumacherFerrari said:
If the kicks had gone over they'd have been out of sight. Scotland picked-up because they finally brought the right players on (Cusiter, Paterson) and Wales had backed off.
3 contenders, England were rubbish! They work hard individually but offer no cohesion, penetration or creativity as a team. The Italians in the first-half were abominable.SchumacherFerrari said:
If Wales keep it tidy on Saturday they'll demolish England. I'm still hoping Shane recovers for it though.
It's looking like Wales and Ireland at the moment, but I wouldn't discount France from the running just yet, let's see how Round 2 goes first!
