    Fantastic game and outcome, England certainly swinging low at Twickenham the (former) 'Temple of Doom for French teams'

    I expected more from Italy based on their previous matches, but a disappointing home result for them v Wales


    One more match in this round, Scotland hosting Ireland tonight.

    Final round of the 2023 6N next weekend
    Scotland v Italy
    France v Wales
    Ireland v England

    Hoping to read his comments - he'll be diplomatic in an Eddie sort of way, with a smile.

    England looked well off the pace, simply out-paced for many of those tries.

    Biggest ever loss at Twickenham and third biggest loss ever, and before this match the next generation their Under 20s lost 7-42 to France, not the best of days.

    Only a few years ago the All Blacks were slaughtering every other team globally and these days it is not a surprise when every team can beat any other side.

    The improvement of the Northern Hemisphere sides over the last 5 years is great for the game.

    Agred, it was fairly well just a matter of AB, Wobblies or the Boks . . . now it's Ireland and the Froggies at times.


    England has a large base of players in many levels to rise to the pros, probably more than anywhere else. They'll be back.

    England got a Rugby lesson from the French. They will prolly get another one from Ireland. Not sure if it’s a good time for them with a new coaching team, and the squad in disarray.

    Too close to the RWC in France next year. It’s a long way back for them all.

    ^ RWC just six months away, opening match France v NZ 8 September, England's first match, v Argentina, 9 September.

    Until then, England face Ireland next week, then in August play Wales twice, and Fiji, as RWC preparation.

    Final round of Six Nations

    France v Wales highlights


    Half-time now in Ireland v England, Ireland leading 10-6 at halftime; England's fullback Steward red-carded in the last minute of the first half leaving them with 14 for the rest of the match. A win for Ireland gives them the Grand Slam and 6N title

    Melbourne Rebels played great footie in the first half really taking it to the Crusaders and went into the sheds with a 24-12 lead. The Rebels played well for the next ten minutes or so, but the in characteristic fashion the Crusaders came storming back scoring four second half tries winning with a bonus point 43-27. The scoreline doesn't tell the whole story though as the Rebels really pushed the champion Crusaders for the first fifty-five minutes.

    Good game. Well played, Rebels.
    pues, estamos aqui

    I was hoping for a Rebels win.
    Anything to encourage a non-Crusader title (again) in 2023.
    Only saw second half Chiefs v Fiji Drua, while Chiefs lead the comp still too unstructured for my liking, believe a top French or Irish team would take them to pieces.
    Blues/Waratahs and Force/Highlanders tomorrow

    Blues should win handily. The bookies have them at 1.03 to win with the Tahs a longshot at 10.00. The Highlanders are favoured at 1.36 and the Force may be worth a flutter at 3.20.
