    First match underway between Wales and Ireland and 20 minutes in and it's an absolute canter for Ireland!

    Don't get me wrong, Ireland are good and probably the team to beat this year but my god do Wales look awful so far

    Fighting to avoid the wooden spoon already. Been rubbish for ages so if anyone thinks Gatland coming in will make us World Champions then they are on drugs.

    Great game so far. England have been the better team and deserve the lead, but there’s been a couple of bits of magic and fantastic try’s for Scotland

    Scotland's attack were just too good for England. A Townsend led Scotland side has been threatening this sort of free flowing, no fear attacking rugby for years and years without coming to fruition but it all came together tonight.

    That being said, I doubt France or Ireland are too concerned about anything they have seen today. The 2023 Six Nations will be decided in their match

    Scotland just need to get some consistency, they usually get one or two of these victories and then throw it away the next game.

    Don't think Steve Borthwick is the man to take this team forward tbh.

    Real scare for France in Italy.

    Italy play well in fits and starts but really do need to find some consistency to be competitive at this level.

    I think Italy have more thsn enough to avoid finishing last, but as you ssy they are horribky inconsistent, so could still easily finish last despite being better than 1 or 2 of the other teams.

    Scotland destroyed Wales there. So much speed, especially on the left wing. Still fully expect Wales to raise themselves against England though.:laugh:

    They will bring the old war horses back - those who know how to beat us.

    Scotland looking really good, probably the most exciting attacking side in the competition. Going to be really interesting to see how they approach the France game
