Nobody seems to have started one, so I guess I will.
Wales look to be playing some great rugby. The game today was a great display, apart from the last 15 minutes, when Scotland seemed to be let back in.
Scotland, unfortunately, look as bad as ever, with an inability to give the ball to their forwards and run it down the centre. Way too many attempts at “clever” kicks and an inability to pass means they’re looking like they’re contenders for the wooden spoon.
England were dominated in the scrum by Italy, and seem to be specialising in slow, boring rugby. Italy seemed to give England a good run for their money in the second half, when they finally got a scrum half specialist on the pitch (playing a forward in a highly skilled position like scrum half, wtf?).
I managed to miss the Ireland v. France game, though.
Any predictions for a winner? Loser? In light of missing the Ireland v. France game, I’ll hold off predicting a winner (IMO, it’s between Wales and those two teams), but I predict Scotland coming in last, this year.
