The Welsh really deserved it, and again Farrell was highly inaccurate (Which surprised me)

The Irish sinbinnings really killed their chances and Italy played very well.

What a game, in fact two great games today... Gutted about the Wales v England scoreline, but an amazing atmosphere in the Millenium Stadium.

Now, come on Scotland, let's have France get the wooden spoon please... plus I have Scottish heritage, so I'll be a Jock for the rest of the evening

I was so disgusted with the way that England was playing that I stopped watching after the 2nd try and put on some ice hockey on youtube.

I think that France still got the spoon, but it's quite unfortunate that they actually won a match


Wales definitely deserved that win though, England played like utter gak today. Course, now I got Superugby to sorta focus on, lets go Highlanders!

Crusaders all the way in the Super 15.

Not one, two!
Not sure France will get the spoon, but in all objectivity, they'd deserve it. They are messy and lack of a technical game...

Odd, I must of been watching a different game as I thought it was a great game. First half was the best, game play wise. Both sides putting in a lot of big hits, it was so intense.As an ex lock forward, with a duff back, those hits made me cringe At halftime it was just the missed kicks and the, sometimes odd scrum penilties awarded, that seperated the two sides. Second half, the Welsh read us and exploited ours weaknesses, and as Brian Moore said said, they were more street wise concerning getting away with stuff. People forget that England weren't expected to do that well, we did and then expectaions get higher. For a new young team they did really well and I have high hopes for them. A justified win for Wales.

Just out of interest, and because I'm not that fussed about football, the atmosphere in the Millenium Stadium was just amazing. I've never heard that amount of passion at a Wembly game.

England were abysmal. They couldn't tackle to save their lives, and much as it pains me to say it, Wales thoroughly deserved that big a win. Italy played really well, and three yellow cards, all of them deserved, killed Ireland off. France managed to win the last game, but still finished bottom, about where they deserved.

I don't think that it is any fault of the fans who go to a game at Wembly, or even Twickenham... but rather that the English fans showed up in enough numbers that Swing Low could occasionally be clearly heard, then the Welsh fans would drown out that with their own songs... But yeah, it was definitely an electric and massively vocal crowd.
