Wales 19-26 England
Wales (6) 19 Try: Stoddart Con: S Jones Pens: S Jones 3, Hook
England (13) 26 Tries: Ashton 2 Cons: Flood 2 Pens: Flood 3, Wilkinson
A really good enjoyable, competitive match. England were always the better side, but you never really felt Wales were out of the contest until the final whistle.

Watching game last night. I like the ref, always have liked him, but how did he not see:
1. trip on Foden = red card 2. Flood being dumped on his head = yellow card

Great result for England. Saw about 25 mins of it and England played some impressive stuff. It was actually the only Six Nations game i've seen so far, in part due to the downside of the Wales-England game clashing with a Reading game on Sky!

England v France already looking like a possible Grand Slam decider, though it'll be very difficult for England to go and get a result in Dublin in the final week.
I didn't think it was possible under Johnson but once again, England seem to be peaking in World Cup year.
Latest odds:
To win Championship: 5/6 England 6/4 France 22/1 Ireland 33/1 Wales 200/1 Scotland 1000/1 Italy
Grand Slam: 6/4 No Grand Slam 2/1 England 13/5 France

Good, tight game - great 2nd half performance from us. Don't think it really was that good a game imo, not in the first half anyway with both sides making mistakes with the weather conditions also playing a part. On that subject i noticed that all the results that were up from National 2 South on the digital BBC text (which Canterbury play in - i was looking for their result) were tight low scoring matches, so it looked like it was a common theme. Pleasing and deserved win for England though, albeit slightly flattering as i thought a 2-5 point winning margin would have been a fairer reflection on the game. The omens are good for England winning the Grand Slam now. The last time we won a Grand Slam we started in Wales and finished in Ireland.. Ok result for Wales too, a game which i half watched.

France's defeat means England are virtually guaranteed the Championship if they beat Scotland, barring a heavy defeat in Dublin and a big win for Wales in France.

England 22-16 Scotland
A tight affair, and a nervy England performance. But job done.
