No really, a terrific result at the weekend and a thoroughly deserved Grand Slam...
...but enough about England Women
Enough fooling with my Welsh chums, that's terrific news. Many congratulations, it's nice to see the side that played the rugby win the 6N...
Didn't see any of the matches as we were in Wales, Squish ran Rhayader and I spectated, so had to make do with the radio commentaries. Aren't the BBC wonderful? We managed to miss an England try because there was 'a penalty at Bristol City'. Ho hum.
Not surprised that Scotland got edged out by Italy, especially when Hadden doesn't seem to have a clue what he's doing with his selections. Mallet, however, has done a terrific job with Italy and must be one of only two coaches secure in their job.
England managed to beat Ireland fairly convincingly, though apparently Ireland were awful. A change of coach for Ireland, but has Coco unfortunately done enough to stay in a job? Cipriani did well; Noon has probably also cemented his place for a while, though I still don't consider him the best man for the job.
Wales/France was a bit of a disappointment in terms of the quality of the game; I expected Wales to be a little tense with so much riding on the result, but they came through it brilliantly in the end. France however, seemed to have no cutting edge whatsoever, which must be a big worry. They've now bombed out against England and Wales, struggled against Ireland in the second half and seem to have no settled team. Lievrement must be under pressure...
Overall, a well-deserved championship for Wales...and without significant changes in the other 5 nations, it's looking like more of the same next year.
