fancy us to win this this year scotland could be good outsiders though. Would also fancy Wales to do well with a new coach in Warren Gatland and new coaching staff like Shaun Edwards. Expect England to win today with Jonny's kicking, but it could be a tricky match. May have mentioned this before but they're my 2nd team after England as i've got Welsh blood in me through my dad. Though i've also got Irish blood in me as well i've always admired Wales because they play the best rugby of any of the Home Nations. |

^ I knew there was a reason we were friends  Ireland not doing too badly at the mo though I think the current score flatters Italy a lot. |

England have handed this game to Wales on a plate. The second half performance is the worst since the South Africa group game at the World Cup.
Credit to Wales for keeping themselves in it until half time.

Now if only Wales could do this against the other teams as well (mind you, they somehow managed it in 2005!)...

I saw the winning try, but it looked like the guy was on his back and dropped the ball, assume it was still touching his hand and the ground at some point? I didn't see a replay.

Didn't see much of the England-Wales game, but there was one moment in the 1st half which sticks out for me. There was a bit of handbags and i remember one England player turning round to the Welsh and saying, "take your time, you need it". I just thought, "hope that doesn't backfire on us" and obviously it did. Rubbish result just to cap a sh*t day overall. Of course it made up for the Reading result for my dad too  |
