Six Nations

Warren Gatland is to leave position as Wales coach

Matt Sherratt's first game as the Wales manager v Ireland today.

But I fear for them. It could be a cricket score.

Delighted to say that my prediction is totally wrong.

Despite going behind to an early try they rallied and have turned the match around.

Ireland have gone a man down for twenty minutes and it could be Wales who end up holding on.

Ireland did well to win and clinch Triple Crown

England hang on to beat Scotland

That England v Scotland game was a weird one. Scotland had countless opportunities in the first half and should have been away and gone. In the 2nd half England improved their defensive intensity and battled into a 16-10 lead before the Scots forced a last minute try to make it 16-15 only to miss the conversion. Still enough time for a restart but England held on to nick it. Strange game.

France have gone totally and utterly berserk against Italy

The Ireland v France match on March 8th is a must see.

France head into the final weekend of the Six Nations in pole position.

They produced an electrifying second half display to see off Ireland in Dublin.
In their final match Les Bleus will face Scotland in Paris with the Scots coming off the back of a highly entertaining victory over Wales.
Today England saw off Italy 47-24.

If France slip up then either England or Ireland could take the title next weekend. All to play for.

I have to say England played well but felt the Italians played quicker ball and were very innovative in scoring two of their tries.

I think the French probably will be hard to stop from claiming the title and I think it would take a exceptional performance from Scotland to keep France from scoring. I feel the Irish probably could prevent England from finishing secomd.

Antoine Dupont won't be playing in France's match against Scotland next week.
He's out between 6-8 months with a torn ACL injury.
Ollie Lawrence was injured this afternoon in England's match against Italy. he's going to have scans to see how bad his achilles injury is. It's hoping that he will be fit for this summers Lions Tour.
