France, Italy and Scotland are my picks for the day. We've got to break our streak against Ireland at some point and today is as good as any.
ETA - got my days muddled up, so I'll actually be able to watch the game tomorrow, hooray!

I'm not even sure what to feel about Wales any more: pity or embarrassment. I know there's a lot going on off the pitch but the discipline on it is unforgivable, and tactically they just don't seem to have a clue.
Sad to see Wales on the ropes. The forward pack, Morgan excepted, is not good enough. Tomas Williams is ok but had no quality ball and no control. The two 10s were poor today. That said, Italy did very well in poor conditions, they could easily have choked in the last quarter.

Decent enough first half. So when, and how badly will England fall to bits?
I always enjoy this fixture. Ever since I was a JP Rives-worshipping schoolboy, France have been my favourite team. Of course I actually support England but I'm generally pleased whatever happens.
Didn't see the other match, I was out on my bike. Happy for Italy.

Wow. That was really exciting. Good for England fo finally close out a match. Probably good for the 6N too.
If the weather was anything like what I was cycling in today, about 40km to the SE of Twickenham, Im not surprised at the number of handling errors.

That last conversion was naïve. Should have let the game clock go red - kicking coach was on too, so I wonder what happened?

Good result for England there, French handling errors cost them big time.

France had their own luck, their 8 passed the ball forward 2 yards in the lead up to their final try?

Forward nowadays does not relate to the places where the ball was received and where it was thrown from.
It is about the angle of the hands and the direction of release.

The ref video checked Englands first try for a forward pass/angle of hands but not the last French try?

It will certainly have been checked. Everything from the last couple of phases is checked when a try is scored.
