Well Chris, if the refereeing is anything as biased to the home side I think we'll be OK. Call me a moaner if you want, but the referee today went out of his way to penalise England for things that other sides have routinely got away with. Just one example - England win their own line-out 10 metres from the Italian line, set up a perfectly good driving maul - and get pinged for crossing.
To be honest, Italy should have been buried in the first half let alone the second.

I actually did shout 'offside' when Davies grabbed the ball and went on to score for Wales. But I was so unsure about the rules, if Scotland knocked on first did that somehow negated Davies being offside (daft as that might sound), that I decided to keep my mouth closed in the event that I got a schooling on refereeing.
The fact that Ireland have scored 1 try in 2 games, Irish TV pundit (New Zealander) Brent Pope, was also lamenting the state of Northern hemisphere rugby and how lackluster the championship has been so far.
We turned over. Life's too short and all that......Ah...a Welsh threat to the French line at last, was losing the will to live watching that.
