Getting really excited about the game tomorrow. For the first time in ages, I reckon Wales are favourites to beat England.

Hopefully, the whole thing will go down to the last weekend.........Wales v Ireland

wales have been the favourites against england for the past 4 years

England are the Bolton of international rugby. Negative, negative, negative.

They a couple of good players, especially the winger and full back and have the potential to be a far better side in terms of results and style.

Rafa out.

No, it's Parry's fault. He bought the players not Rafa.

Good analogy, England won the world cup with exactly those types of tictacs.

But yes, i agree that the potential is definitely there for England to play with a bit more style.

I can see it now...

Rugby really is silly. You can't see why the ref is blowing for offences half the time. And that ref was a homer - as bad as Mike Riley at Old Trafford.

Still, Wales were much better than England from what I saw (which was the last 20 minutes of the first half and the first 20 of the second).

Wales would probably have won, but with England down to 14 for a large portion of the game the task was made far easier.

But England gave the ref the chance to be biased with schoolboy type errors. Yes, both teams did the same back handed tactics, but the home team will always get away with it, whilst the away team will always get punished.

Plus it doesn't help when the manager comes out in the press before the game and say that they would slow the ball down. Perhaps if he hadn't said that, the ref wouldn't have been looking for it as much. A lesson for Johnson there perhaps.

We weren't at our best but Rome has become a tougher place to win in recent years. Have to be happy with that.

Next up England at Croker. Bring it on!

state of paddy wallace - mangled head in both games so far

jamie heaslip is class as well. happy for fitzgerald even though he seems to fulfil the D4 rugger bugger stereotype perfectly.

very hard to see anything except a win against the sassanach horde but with the shape of that ball and the general unmentioned but definite brain damage rugby players must sustain, anything can happen.

[nebbers]

Bloody French... Cracking game though.

[FatTony]

Brilliant result. France dominated and exposed the welsh for what they are, overhyped.

Completely dominant. Job done.

[kingfunk]

Brian O'Driscoll. Pure Class.

[Joe King]

Surprised at that result. That last game vs Ireland is a proper must win for Wales.

England were so close today. Its a young team under Jonno.
