After the 2003 World Cup final Clive Woodward thanked Eddie Jones for doing his team talk for him. From what I've heard about Dylan Hartley's performance this evening, I'd just like to do likewise and thank Warren Gatland for shooting his mouth off....
Anyway, it'll be the excuses flowing rather than the beer in Wales tonight.
As for who's favourite to win the title well France would be my bet but I wouldn't rule out any of the teams except Scotland and Italy.
