Two weeks in a row their opponents are running right through them.

They look all over the shop, and Borthwick could be catching a taxi soon.

Awful performances, and something is very wrong in that England camp.
Seem to believe their own propaganda and their play doesn’t match the swagger.
Scotland and Ireland play and behave with a lot more humility.

France are just operating at a whole other level beyond the other 5 teams. They look unstoppable at the moment.

Aye, it seems like the French are gonna coast it now. Though, Italy will give them a match tomorrow.

England have just completely folded at the start of their last two matches. They seem shocked that teams are not lying down for them.

I expected much more from England.

There is a comparison with our cricketers who seem to believe their own bullshit without backing it up with performance.

I don’t think the French will steamroller Italy, Italy are a difficult team to play against sometimes and will do their best to disrupt and frustrate France , Les Bleu will probably win but it might not be that easy the can be very temperamental at times and are quite often their own worst enemy

Ireland 27 - 17 Wales
Hardly a free flowing game.

Aye, but a great, hard fought physical battle Cussie.

It was nice to see Wales playing with pride after some of the batterings they've taken recently.

I only saw bits and pieces of it as I expected Ireland would trounce them, but they showed a lot of heart.

Decent match imo.

It was indeed Riot, Ireland got off to a fast start & it looked like they were going to run away with it but Wales put them under a lot of pressure and it could have gone either way. Scotland/France could be a cracker today but I can’t see the French throwing it away now.

Would be nice if the Jocks can make a match of it, but I can see France walloping them and England.

Italy will give England a hard match, and Borthwick is already on borrowed time imo.
