I hope you're right with the first (but not THAT close, please!)

I hope you're wrong with the second (Scotland are the most boring team in existence right now and deserve the Wooden Spoon)

I hope to God you're wrong with the last one, couldn't bare the Frogs to win. But I agree about Ashton

Couldn't agree with u more, the scots play slow, flat and generally boring rugby, and I think they attract the least number of home spectatotrs (not too sure about italy though, smaller stadium).

I will also be supporting england today but only cos of how the competition will shape up for wales.

all credit Wales. Ireland are just about comfortably beating Scotland. Still nothing inspiring

Just wondering at what point you wrote that, as I thought you did pretty well in the end.

Very pleased with our showing- 34 unanswered points in the second half is not to be sniffed at.

Should make for a very exciting match in 2 weeks time...

England holding on at present. Let's hope they actually turn up in the second half this time...

just after half time. They were excellent in the second half indeed. 85% possession but they were still slipping up at the basics and that Scotland try was a farce. Why was he able to just walk through defence. On the up though but still not ther old selves

Undoubtedy better than at the beginning of the Championship though.

England deserved winners in the end. Good game I thought. Excellent days rugby.

The Leicester result sucks for you, but half the team must have been in Paris helping with a great win. The end of this championship is squaring up very nicely; four of us can win it. And most importantly, only we can get the Grand Slam!!

We surprising have a low amount in the England squad this year, only Croft and Kay. The amount we have in the other home nations is higher with Murphy, Hamilton and Castrogeivani. its a bit of a break for tradition for Leicester, we have always provide a high number of English talent, injuries are the main cause for this years low number, such as Moody and Ellis

Back from watching another days rugby, this time with a slightly better result, 34-22 against Leeds. despite Leicester playing piss poor the game was lightened by us scoring 5 tries and the return of Harry Ellis and Alex Tuilagi.
