    I’m not sure I like this kicking approach from England, we look more dangerous with ball in hand, especially on slippy pitches like today’s
    But Wales have definitely ramped their game up several notches
    Second half should see some great rugby :cool: and probably by Wales:p

    A great forward try by England - no kicking involved:)

    England having a sublime 10 minutes - and no kicking! Running, passing, force in contact, right up to the Welsh line - playing real rugby

    Wales really improving over the last 12 months form good turgid win for us:)

    Now we can look forward to France and some revenge:p

    Well played Wales. Kept England honest.

    I hate this modern kicking game too. More bearable when done skilfully. Not Englands strength today.

    To quote DD, bring on the CESMs.

    A good old ding dong going on in the Ireland v Georgia 51 minutes and 20 - 10 to Ireland

    Hoping Georgia get a big scalp to expand the game in the North

    We need more Countries taking Rugby seriously!!

    I couldn't find the coverage for this match Nick. Thought it was on Amazon where for some reason my TV won't connect to my WiFi this afternoon. Lost an hour buggering about with it.

    Found it, just about catch the final quarter.

    Hope you found it mate, not a great game but Georgia were punching well above their weight, Italy should be worried I can see them being beaten by these guys quite easily, especially if they can keep getting exposure to tier 1 teams

    Yes mate, watched the final 20 mins. Thats a good result for Georgia. Spoiled Irelands fun.

    Quite agree, nothing better for any team or individual than playing better sides. My golf game excepted. ;)

    Anyone watching the rugby today? Scotland making a real fist of it against Ireland

    And it’s too cold windy and miserable to do anything with the bike...:cool:

    Yes Nick, watching the match. Good opening quarter for Scotland. Ireland inevitably too strong for them.

    Sad to see Stuart Hogg lose so many matches when he's a world class player.

    Agree Scotland gave up and Ireland motored away
    Scotland have looked a lot more competitive under Gregor Townsend and I sense they aren’t too far away from an upset!!

    Yep Wales Italy should be interesting, a good chance for Italy to get a major scalp

    Edit: To Correct Scots coach name !!

    Yes, they're playing with plenty of passion. Worthy of the scoreline.

    And Wales down to 14 men the next 10 minutes could be good for Italy
