They were pretty average in the first half though, no points from the sin-binning.

I saw the interview with Jake White this afternoon and have to say he would make a great Lions coach for the tour of SA. I wonder if that is what he's doing over here for the 6 Nations?

Watching the England game I was hoping that they would run away with it in the last 20 minutes, but England are playing like a bunch of flapping schoolboys at the moment.
Cipriani on when we need someone to settle it down, oh dear.

Oh yea of little faith......... England were shocking in the second half. But good on Wales for coming back from what looked like being dead and buried to put the pressure on England and get the win.

White is over to have talks with the IRB.. There is a position as a roving coach / manager positions and being involved with second tier nations. anyway that is what is being reported here in SA.

I am sure that you are.. Not too many would have backed Wales before this game. But they showed guts and determination in the second half and add that to England's self destruction and Wales come away with their firts win at twickes in 20 years.. good stuff.

I can hardy believe England's very good first half turn to rubbish in the 2nd half.
England lost that game they should have won easily. Credit and congrats to the Welsh lads who stuck at it. I'm at a loss to try to fathom how it went so badly wrong. Balshaw was absolutely awful and should be dropped from the squad. Both Tait and Lewsey are better full backs, and maybe Cipriani should start. Looks like a bad injury to Tindall too. Nice to see a Scot happy in England's defeat.  For that, I hope the French stuff you tomorrow, although I fancy the Scots to win.As for Ireland, not really at all impressed with them. should have won far easier against a poor Italy. But at least they won!

I'd have never put money on tis result, but well done Wales! Not being partisan, just credit due to the team with the heart to take the game away.

England were just awful in the 2nd half, Jonny Wilkinson should hang his head in shame; some of his decision making was woeful. Paul Sackey came in off his wing for the (first?) Welsh try and really let himself down.
What bothered me most though was the seeming complete lack of instructions coming from the bench, England got no leadership from the coach when they needed it. Fair play to Wales. As much as it sticks in my throat, they deserved their win. They never stopped trying and never stopped believing.

I dont care about Rugby but BM smsgames followed the game so I watched too. England was for most part of the game far ahead, so I am very surprised it ended like this. For a long time it was like 18-6 or similar.
Sorry SMSgames you lost! Quote:

Well Scotland were soundly beaten by France.
Not a great game, the Scots were pretty awfull actually. France played a lot better than their opponents but that is not saying a hell of a lot. There were just far too many turnovers, in fact it has been a problem in all the games this weekend. The ball has been coughed up far to often.

France totally deserved the win today. Scotland, for all their promise after the RWC showing were dire.
Looks like my predictions for the final placings are totally wrong.

It looks like France all the way now to me Steve, despite a lot of mistakes today. Wales will take great heart in their 2nd half performance, but I'm thinking of their first half effort. They could and should have been buried out of sight by then. England did have a very good 50mins before they imploded. Losing Strettle and Moody was a blow, but the squad was big enough to replace them adequately France, Wales and Ireland all have the advantage of 3 home games.

now whatas I sayiong earlier about England and how they only seem to play in RWC's....(scratching chin)
Think I'll be right on France as the winner as well..... went to the Rugby 7's on the weekend....had a ball...and one afterwards with a falang chic....luckily NZ won or I'd be in the shame files...555
