True, but both of those wins were against "B" sides.



SPOILERS for Wales-Australia


I'm blaming this on the decision to sub Webb.

Warburton and AWJ played amazingly well.

A couple baffling decisions (the two Hollywood passes that got intercepted inside the Aussie 22 that led to Australian tries, playing on instead of taking a penalty and going for the corner at the end).

Three tries with Biggar and Webb in, one (penalty) try with both out.

Australia was brilliant counter-rucking. They won so many penalties.

I found it hilarious how the Welsh commentator would name any Ospreys player who made a mistake but would never name a Scarlets player who made a mistake.

George North is good at rugby.

i didn't know you could do that?

France on the attack and their #3 pulls up and pooch kicks it in the air from about 12-15 meters out, to the corner where #11 catches it for a try

Would have to see video, but that sounds like something Ulster tried a couple weeks ago.



Scotland looks much better this match. Both Gray brothers are playing and both have a try.

Argies falling apart. Discipline going.



Speaking of looks, Argentina have ruined their kit

What's wrong with the Pumas? I thought they would put up a pretty good match today...

Absolutely no discipline. Yellow card led to two tries, they've had a bunch of penalties, and they got lucky at the end of the half that the ref didn't card another player.

This match is horrible. Scotland have been good, but this is awful rugby.

If you have Bein Sports as part of your cable/satellite, then tune in tonight at 6 (in an hour) for the re-air of the England / NZ match. And tmrw for the Australia / Wales match!

Wales vs Australia was good one. Practice run for their World Cup pairing.

England vs New Zealand was exciting in the first half but some of the steam seemed to come out of it in the second half.

Haven't watched any of the other matches yet. Getting ready to watch my French squad take on Fiji.

Wales will lose because they don't believe that they can beat Australia.


Also, Jonathan Davies can seriously go frick himself. Spent the entire match yesterday naming and shaming Ospreys players when they made mistakes, but refused to name any Scarlets players who made mistakes. He then spent the Scrum V round-up tonight whining about Gatland playing Webb and Biggar. a-hole.

Watched Ireland vs South Africa yesterday. Big win for the NH over a SH team coming off of a win over the All Blacks. Very impressed with Irelands defense.

Watched France vs Fiji too. Racing Metro Winger Teddy Thomas with the hat trick on debut! He'll be a good one.

Still haven't watched Scotland vs Argentina or Italy vs Samoa yet.
