I shall just talk to myself then !
First set of matches
Wales 23 - 15 Italy
No surprises there, although the Italians are getting better and better as the years go on (they beat both France and Ireland last year).
France 26 - 24 England
One of the best and most tense matches I've watched in a while.
France comfortably leading at half time after an excellent start, looking to cruise the rest of the game, only to be overtaken by a heartened English XV. Every time France would catch up, England would pull away by a few points. A try for France at the very end of the match to seal a draw, with a conversion sealing the win. Shame I wasn't in the UK for that one.
Ireland 28 - 6 Scotland
Not much to say, a very one-sided game with a Scotland outclassed in every respect. The Scots fought very well, but it wasn't enough against the Irish XV who proved that they have a strong chance of going for gold.
