What have we learned this 6N?

Wales - a very well drilled side that will prove difficult to beat by anybody at this stage. Massive defence and effective attack. Very street smart.
England - Backline looks very slick against weaker sides. Struggled to create much against Wales’ blitz defence. Curry seems to be the find of the tournament. Eddie Jones remains a kunt.
Ireland - auroa gone. No intensity, clueless in attack, woeful discipline. Sexton and Murray have been completely found out.
France - couple of potentially good players coming through but still shite. Doesn’t seem to be too much pride in the jersey.
Scotland - another false dawn, still shithouse.
Italy - see Scotland.

Is Sean Edwards staying when Gatland goes?
If they lose them both Italy would beat them

Wasn't Edwards going back to Wigan? Looks like they could use him at the moment.

I don't think they're that bad. Don't know what happened today otherwise they've won games handily while in second gear.

Why be so negative?

Ireland had on off day today but will come again and have a good shout at putting a good world cup run together.

I hope this doesn't come across as disingenuous but you shouldn't let a game of rugby affect you so much.

It's alright Winnie hates the Welsh and this is his way of dealing. He'll be right as rain come the clubs games again.

Me stating that wales losing a great coach and defensive coordinator as being bad for them is hardly hysterical

Yeah absolutely. That pace plus his velcro hands is an incredible combination.

Also that Tom Curry is an excellent option for England at 7

Yep. Lots of firepower but no nous. Better than last year at least.

From a neutral perspective, it's been a bit like this;

Pre-tournament - shit, looks like we need to worry about Ireland
Round 1 - shit, looks like we need to worry about England too
Round 4 - shit, Wales now as well
Round 5 - fvcking Scotland?!?

So France to win the RWC

Wigan look like they couldn't win a coin toss at the moment. Losing to Huddersfield, unbelievable.

England- problems but no lack of talent. serious problems though. halfback nightmares.
Ireland- collapsed when joe said he was leaving, could be terminal. halfback nightmares, absent back row.
Wales- Gatland is king.
Scotland- who knows! Sam Johnson was absolute quality today, they need players back from injury.

France and Italy- no interest.

I've learned that being 16-0 down at half-time means fudge all. This is best GS of all as it's pissed more people off than ever before

Didn’t see the match but from few quick highlights I see it seems that we (Italy):
- scored 4 tries against France (albeit two were not awarded I do not know why);
- almost scored one more (denied by the post)
- Outplayed France in every aspect of the game
I could not understand also how we had managed to lose the match to be honest

England - lots of skill in the backs, but they fold like laundry if you get in about them.
Ireland - a number of players just on the downslope at the same time. One last hurrah in Japan then the pre needs to be a clear out
Wales - disciplined and aggressive in defence, unexciting but very effective with the ball.
France - talent coming through but they’ll piss it up a tree
Scotland - need their twenty minutes. All their big wins have involved 20 where they’ve gone through the oppo and scored multiple tries. Defensively weak as fudge.
Italy - very poor.

A bit early on that Scotland comment?

There wasn't meant to be a dawn this 6N with two dozen players out injured. Yet four of the matches had amazing periods for Scotland. The performance against France was poor though.
