the big decider in 2 weeks is england v france,anyone can see that whoever wins this one is 90% certain to at least win the championship if not the GS.
And i do believe the italians have the ability to beat scotland again!

I think there's a lot more left in this years championship than that. I doubt if Johnson will be as dismissive of the Scots and Irish. Ireland looked like a handful for anyone in defeat to France today. France looked very vulnerable when attacked 'up the guts' and I can see them losing one, maybe two games unless they improve.

have to agree.
if the irish hadn't made so many errors they would have won it comfortably.
giving away 12/15 points proved costly.

i think both the games v the scots & irish will be a lot more testing than the french one :|

Aye - I think Wales are really missing Halfpenny - Stoddard is just about hanging on and not really an international player IMO

For me it's Jones and Jenkins in the front-row that we are missing badly (although the replacements have stood up in all fairness). Halfpenny yes, as long as we create something for him to touch the ball.

Neither France or Ireland played particularly well yesterday IMHO and that should give Wales some additional confidence after the Scotland game..... despite the fact that Wales also need to do some improving of their own!!

Heading back to the UK on Friday for a couple of weeks, so will actually get to see a few games on something a little better than a laptop with a cr@ppy internet stream!!

I was thinking more for his defensive qualities - an area where Stoddard has looked very fragile - and for Halfpenny's ability to kick 50 metre penalties. I think the props have been excellent in both tight and loose play.

George Clancy will be the key man tonight, he was in charge of England v Sth Africa last year, hope he knows what's going on in that front row, doubt it though as he was a back in his playing days.
Looking forward to this one, just hope it isn't spoilt.

Yeah, I've tried it myself - no luck at all, though!
We're leading 21 - 12 at the beginning of the 2nd half, though, according to BBC World ....
