Scotland better in every department, England had the look of a team that just thought they had to turn up to win. All the progress made under Eddie seems to have evaporated this season, we were fortunate against the Welsh and this was just a car crash performance. Ireland in the box-seat now...
 
What a **** day that was. Stayed in the pub to watch the rugby rather than go to the Rangers game, which felt a bit like cheating on my wife. Umpteen pints of Guinness later Wales have lost, England have lost and Rangers have been humiliated. Still, there's always the cricket.........

:emoticon-0100-smile Using that analogy, there's large scale, serial adultery going on among Rangers' supporters at the moment
 
Think the Women's curling team started the trend losing on the last stone. For Ireland to win and England to lose (badly) the rugby. Gills losing the football. Man United getting another win and City winning another trophy. And to top it off England lost the cricket. All in all a bad weekend for sport.

The loss to Scotland may be just what England needed, with the game against the All Blacks scheduled for the autumn. England were poor too in the second half against Wales. Big shake up needed, in mentality, tactics and some personnel. It'll be interesting to see how many changes Jones makes for the game against France.
 
Two big matches today.
Expect Ireland to strangle the life out of Scotland today and limit their potentially devastating loose play. Irish power should tell over 80 minutes.

Massive game in Paris this evening. French will smell blood and Jones will be under pressure not to lose two in a row. This one could go either way as English pack is far from convincing.
 
Big Irish win leaves England needing to score four tries in Paris to stay in the title hunt, a tall order on current form and 9-9 at halftime suggests the Irish have it in the bag...

England look ragged.
It will take a monumental effort now to score 4 tries. France are dogged.
 
The Irish will be coming to Twickers next week full of confidence and determined to rub our noses in it. Hard to see us stopping them, the Grand Slam is certainly on for them...

Ha ha Sooper :)
Home advantage is everything in this tournament and we will be hard pressed to get a result next week in Twickers. England won’t lose 3 in a row.
England just going through a difficult period which alll teams experience.

Ireland wont fear England at all though and at a neutral venue I’d back Ireland every day of the week.
