Update after the first week of the 6 Nations. Everybody got the straightforward task correct of predicting Wales and Ireland to win (even Jim), but less than half got France beating England.
Hard to imagine there will be a better game than that in the entire tournament and yes SD I was a tad gutted afterwards. But I look to the positives now and we really should've won, our second half performance was outstanding. Shame Lancaster chooses to make substitutions by default, replacing Hartley has done for us again. But with key men missing (Tuilagi, Corbisiero, Croft) this team can improve so much more.
Hope you like the League Table...

My risky draw punt nearly became reality. Table graphic looks OK too.
Thanks Corky, there were a number of complaints last year so I have tried to rectify.Quote:

Cheesy Leeks to that I say.
Absolute cracking game of Rugby, the 1st 30 secs and when we didn't capitalize on the line we had on their line mid way through the 2nd half undid all the hard work.Quote:

Trying to look at it objectively, I think Lancaster is trying to build a team that can keep up a high level of intensity for the full 80 mins. To be fair to Youngs, he caused a lot of problems for the French in the loose, but will be haunted by that one missed line out throw (unfortunately he did the same against NZ). It's a learning experience and but for a couple of lucky bounces of the ball, the French wouldn't have scored their 2 early tries.
All a matter of building for 18 months time when hopefully we'll get the luck too.
I thought we were guilty of a lot of poor decision making in the 1st half, and I agree about the substitutions, especially Care.
Lineouts puzzle me - throwing in is a totally unique skill which has nothing to do with the rest of the game, so why is it always the hooker that has to do it?
Penalty kicking, for example, isn't always done on the basis of which number a player has on his back, admittedly most kickers are 10s or 15s, but there are plenty of 9s taking penalties, and John Eales kicked some important penalties as a lock forward.
