We have family down for the week so all on catch up for me tonight - too busy piggy backing, tooth fairying, bathing and generally having fun we'll need a week to recover.
So good to hear Russel is playing for England now I hope the fans knocked him around !..

A great performance from a rejuvenated Wales, lets hope they can maintain this level of performance for the rest of the tournament. England by the skin of its teeth win over Scotland, thank goodness Fin wasn't on target.

Morganmike,
I 'd take a far from perfect winning performance, no matter how scruffy, over a more technically perfect performance loss, any day "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well." Baron Pierre de Coubertin. OK this was said by a Frenchman or maybe a Belge and they do even less "winning" than we do. BUt it is the spirit of the playing fields of Maro Itoje's old school. As an Englishman who has lived half his life in Wales, and even joined a Welsh Male Voice Choir, I have the great joy of being able to swap team loyalties according to who is doing the better job. Mind you Yma o Hyd is a much better song that Swing Low!

So good to see the young Wales side putting on an incredible show in the fight back at Murrayfield. And Wales be proud of your new Champion Lady crowned in the Royal Albert Hall last night. Lauren Price on paper this should have been pretty even but her speed and class was way too much for Tasha.

Yes great match but a shame Dupont picked up an ACL so out for 6 - 8 months.as he is an exciting player to watch.

Yes they should have given it to France and saved all the air miles and expense as I said in another thread on here before it started, they have strength in depth.

Well +8Rich, unfortunately I cannot remember how to repost a previous post sorry . However and I don’t want to sound smug but if you go back to my post of 1st February Girl on Motorbike, you will see that my forecast of :
France
England
Ireland
Scotland
Italy
Wales
Was 100% correct !!
You also said no one would beat France………hmmm ……..you are a genius on all things Morgan (& many other things to) + Johns views I was unsure about
BUT I love and know about rugby
Sorry all, I’m not really feeling smug , just milking my v lucky bet . Thankfully I did not win enough to buy the new Supersport .
Have a wonderful Sunday all, MM
PS Now for the women’s 6 nations…….views?
