There called it and am right.

France are no hopers
England punching above their weight
Scotland guff

I like WestDr. He is my favourite
Gatland proved himself a right Gatland - by playing non-match-fit players! Jenkins and Warburton were in for a hammering. The public knew that. Money talks. I hate the professional game. Rupert Murdoch?? FfFS
Two best players on the pitch tonight though Ospers, didnt you think?

Just seen this from Russ and those three simple words sum up the difference for me in this six nations.
Only in the England/France game have both teams displayed a similar level of intensity in the same game so far.
Lets hope for better from now on.

To me, they didn't

France waddled about that game and made England seem good, then England fell off tackles.

France are poor, and England are as bad, if not worse.

The only reason Wales did so well in the past 2 years for me boils down to 3 simple things:

1. Declan Kidney
2. PSA
3. England being brad pitt

No matter how you look at that game tonight Wales brought an intensity level that France did not match.
As for the former years they can only beat whats in front of them and they generally did.

I brought a greater intensity level to the dump I just took in trap 2 than France brought tonight

I very much doubt than anyone could possibly think otherwise.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

The question you need to consider is

Did they simply not just show up against Ireland, or were they not allowed to show up?

In my mind, Ireland got at the front row, the 7 and the 9. Stopped Wales from playing their game and wound up their loose cannons.

Tonight, the loose cannon was removed.

Wales played no better than 2 weeks ago, they just didn't have a chube steering the ship.

Conclusion - Wales are dire
