Six Nations opening week results

I am just watching the tail end of the France - Scotland match and France is dominating this test.  There was a beautiful pass between the legs that resulted in a try for France.  I hope I can see that one again and will be watching for the highlight video of this great play. France took this one away with a 34-21 victory at home.    

Ireland barely beat Italy in a 13-11 test today.  Irish fans are not happy with the quality of play from key players.  Surely there will be more effort in the next game from the Irish squad.


England played well in the opener against Wales and came away with the win in this 26-19 victory.  I thought Wales were going to make a comeback.  They missed some crucial points towards the end of the game that would have changed the outcome.  I think Wales are still pretty strong and deserve some credit here playing the away game against England.
