Yes so far it's been good like that. Hopefully more upsets and tighter matches will be matter of course for the RWC in the future. Although for years and years I was expecting Italy to reach a much more powerful position(with regards to 6 Nations performances) but that still hasn't happened and Italy had pretty bad losses against Wales, England and France.

So I hope the other minnows can close the gap quicker than Italy. USA had a good first half against Scotland(a weak team IMO) but just that extra bit of class from the big nations able to assure victory.

Next up, come on Scotland Show them silly yanks they're no good!!

This! So much this! Hope Scotland thump them!


Used to get yelled at for not playing football and rugby.  Now get yelled for playing football and rugby.

We played well given opposition, but in the end quality won out.  I will never understand why so few play or watch the sport, still hoping we get a domestic league of some substanc ein the next decade.

Yeah Italy just play a boring brand of Rugby. I think a different team should join the 6 nations

Typical Welsh, act like a poor hard done by little nation whilst enjoying all the fruits of being financially supported by England... In rugby you want to enjoy your underdog status whilst also wanting to be treated like a rugby powerhouse. My point is, you always want it both ways.

By the way, England invented rugby, you just hijacked it. You're obsessing over a sport created by the nation you despise.

England invented about 95% of all sports, including football, baseball, cricket and American football.

Goodluck!! gonna be a crazy tense game!

Thanks mate, although I'm 100% England are more than capable of beating Australia I can't help think there's a lot of pressure on them now with it being a MUST win game and it being on their own turf. People say you have a home advantage but sometimes I thinking can work the other way round with you having massive expectation on your shoulders. I always said the team that loses in the England v Wales game will be the that goes out along with Fiji and Uruguay haha, I really hope I'm wrong, I'd really like to see England and Wales go through and meet in the final, let's face it, it'll be the biggest final in World Cup history.
