Surprised to the see Crusaders taking a semi-pasting, but the Fijians have been improving well over the last couple of years - this Drua team has been very good for them.

Six Nations
Wales v Italy
Ireland v Scotland
France v England
A harder weekend to predict.
Wales. (Italy will drop after their win last week)
Ireland. (Ireland will be keen to make amends and atone for last week not to mention winning the Six Nations title)
England. (They’re on form now)

Three home wins.
Scotland to lose due to shit refereeing.
Picks
Wales
Ireland
France
Italy on fire.
0-11 (1 Try) afer 20 mins.
The Slam was grand, a fine Paddy' s to you all
Is Italy on the up and up? Is Wales that bad?
England building a lead against France. Whoa…
What a game between France and England.
^ what a "terrible" final result, I think you mean...
Well, Wales had a shocker.
France performed below par and were fortunate with a couple of their wins.
Ireland were slightly below par, but got there in the end.
Scotland looked very good at times, and will be disappointed - it could have been there year?
Italy on the up? Maybe, perhaps, probably not?
Cycling should be banned!!!
Blues 26 - 6 Crusaders
Crusaders have their worst start in franchise history. Injuries and a very inexperienced squad have last year's champions in disarray. Not to take anything away from the Blues' performance tonight. They played smart and came at it hard all 80 minutes.
I thought the Crusdaders had been losing their edge the last couple of seasons, but so far this season - it's worse.
It's a new era in NZ rugby. Lots of young faces and results like 'Canes 5 from 5, Crusaders 0 from 5, would have been almost unthinkable last few years.
Too early to tell where the Aus teams are at but I think they're gonna be more than a nuisance this year.
Some people think it don't, but it be.
During the last twenty minutes of the Blue-Crusaders match the commentator mentioned that Tom Christie was the only Crusader on the field that was part of the 2023 champion team. Usually Canterbury is a rugby factory churning out championship sides year after year. This ain't one of those years.
pues, estamos aqui
Crusaders looking stupidly confident for a change.
'Canes get sloppy plus mess up their lineouts, first loss for the season.
Out of nowhere Kurtly Beal pops up at fullback for The Force.
Reds v Blues the game of the weekend.

I kind of hope the Rebels do well in the playoffs just to stick it up the nose of RA.
