Well since I have welsh, irish and scottish relations through marriages in the family I'm kind of hedging my bets

Wonder where I put my 6ft St George Flag????

Carry on like that you Englander and it will go where the sun doesn't shine!!

Now where did I put my 12 ft Welsh Dragon flag?

I already have a miniature version on my car aerial - very handy for locating it in the car park at Tesco!

Well, following last nights game of real rugby, I thought people might be discussing the merits of the Rhinos and the Bulldogs!

Also, if England picked up anything from the best rugby league club side in the world, they should stroll home today.

The Scots are indeed working hard and playing much better but now the French are fighting back. Wow what a match!

a brilliant match, what a shame the end was overshadowed by two questionable decisions from the officials - I didn't think he had a foot in touch & the try should have stood, also the sin bin decision was bizarre.

Having said that, Scotlands failure to clear the lines at the end, leading to the French try, was a bad mistake.

Good open game, though, great to watch

Certainly on video it looked like a questionable decision, one can only assume that the touch judge had seen something we couldn't and what's more he looked certain. Otherwise agreed, good fighting start. Tonight England will defeat Wales say around 20:10. Actually, this match may not be easy to predict.

I have to admit the touch judge had an excellent view and did look certain of his decision, and that is what he is there for, it just looked ok to me - & at that point in the match, too....

anyway, I agree Wales v England is not easy to predict, I have divided loyalties in this & will just say that I hope the team that plays best is the winner - something I don't think happened in the Scotland game
