Will watch the England Italy game today but if England can't subdue Italy then there is no hope. Unlikely that there will be an upset though in my opinion but to voice such an opinion is often fatal to the favourites.

Well, England managed that one, with the usual hysterical overreactions at the win. Still a win is a win, even against Italy. ;))) :YMPARTY:

England, have the basis of a winning team (and money and talent in spades) but I can't see them anywhere in the current Six Nations competition. Maybe the longer game will bring them back into contention in the next World Cup.

England travel to Wales on Saturday hoping to end a six-year wait for a win in Cardiff.

Having kickstarted their campaign with a bonus-point win against Italy, another positive result at Principality Stadium would have them firmly in the race for the Championship.

Meanwhile, Wales boss Warren Gatland is looking for the first triumph of his second spell in charge following defeats to Ireland and Scotland.

Gatland’s opposite number Steve Borthwick captained England to victory over Wales in 2010 and the former second is now hoping to repeat the feat for the first time as head coach.

But England have not travelled well to the Welsh capital in recent times, winning on just two occasions since 2011.

I liked the French try where the openside flanker changed direction and ran through the England back for the line, rather than bothering to go around him.
Shades of Jonah Lomu.
