Six Nations 2017
-
England haven't set the world alight, yet they get results.
Now think of it as a team building confidence - we all know continuity in selection is a good thing when possible - and then throw in Vunipola at 8 & Tuilagi in the midfield. You have a team that gets results and that can come from behind.
They might not be winning comfortably but I thought they at least 'looked' comfortable. They look like they have a plan and they play without hesitation.
Not sure what to make of the midfielders worthless chip-kicks aside.

Loads of people getting on the Scots bandwagon on Facebook.
Fuck off fluffybunnies. It's people like me who should be enjoying this victory. If the Black Caps get up as well there's gonna be one extremely pissed kiwi Scotsman tomorrow.
Well, there will be regardless but a BC win would be lovely
Gee that Hogg is a goodun. Lions fullback for sure.

He should've been the Lions full back last time with Halfpenny on the wing. He's a class player.

First time I saw him I wrote him off as a slightly dorky looking guy with too many freckles ( takes one to know one ) but happily I couldn't have been more wrong and he's become the player I hoped Chris Paterson would.
Dunbar is a big rooster but on the whole they seem to have jettisoned the big backlines they've had until recently?
Out of the team you'd have to say the Grays, Laidlaw ( to me he has midweek captain written all over him )and Maitland are others with a real chance to tour. Seymour too.

Really enjoyed watching both these games. Both quality i thought

At that hour? You fucken kidding? 3 minutes of YouTube footage is more than enough for me to make judgements and assumptions.

Did I just see Umaga playing for England?
Mike's son that is...
Yep, nice little cameo at the end. Impressive start by England, who only managed to beat Italy in last year's U20 6N.
England U20s crush France 59-17 in Six Nations opener
England Under-20s lay down an early marker with a nine-try 59-17 victory over France in their Six Nations opener at Sandy Park.
Results from the first round for the U20s
Italy 5 - 27 Wales
Scotland 19 - 20 Ireland
England 59 - 17 France -
Fuck how big were France? If they stuck to smashing in to England and offloading to get behind them before shifting it they would have rolled them. Those French wingers though, hopeless, no awareness of where they are on the field. I guess picked cause they're huge?
France ran out of puff i think, the winning try was piss easy, and their bench offered fuck all

Maitland was fucking ordinary. Russell was excellent, Strauss was bloody good too. Johnny Gray was outstanding, the number of tackles! Richie not as good.

Not telling.

Italy are in flying form.
Great try from a beautifully worked mini maul. Parisse in stupendous form.
Italy 7-0 Wales after 32 mins.

Kruis confirmed as out of rugby for the next 8-10 weeks.
Will be interesting to see what Eddie does with the starting mix now. Haskell was way better at 6 than Itoje and Itoje was better when he shifted to lock.
I have to agree with Eddie's comment that he is bewildered as to why England have such a poor record in Cardiff and why people worry so much about them playing there.
This championship has been set up to be England's now. Slim chance though that other teams can deny them BPs in wins (like France did), pick up losing and winning BPs themselves then win their one off game. Ireland would now be relying on edging them on BPs (with a win in Dublin). Would love to see Scotland fire up and take them out though. The ability is there.
