    So were England yesterday as good as the score suggests or were Wales a bit poor?

    I thought they were pretty good if a bit lucky with Dawsons try not that it would have made much difference.

    Italy were much better than the score suggests and were very unlucky to concede a "non-try".

    France/ Scotland will be interesting as based on yesterdays performance by Ireland, Les Bleurs look to be Englands only Grand Slam obstacle.

    Wales were poor, disappointing really. Italy were pretty good I agree. Scotland are 13-0 up as I type (35mins), fingers crossed they keep their advantage!

    Thoroughly deserved win Scotland. Most impressive. France were disappointing for most of the game but their mistakes I think
    mostly due to the Scottish pressure.

    Excellent performance from the Scots, whilst France looked out of sorts they will always be hard to beat! Surprising result for me, thought France would have steamrollered 'em.

    Didn't see much of the Italy/Ireland game so can't pass comment, but England really outplayed the Welsh....Dawsons try was perhaps the only slightly contentious issue IMHO. There were some very disconsolate and disgruntled Wales supporters in the pub yesterday I can tell you :D
