The Silver Fern

<p>Only saw the highlights of the France/Italy game which seems to show france have learned nothing from RWC at all and are just playing the power game and thats about it.</p>

<p>End v Scotland I watched and was just saddened by scotlands slowness at pretty much everything. No momentum, backs all just waiting for someone to do something and having to create a 1 on 1 to get through, 9 (and captain) standing around at the back of rucks waiting and waiting for someone to get into position to do something, lots of box kicking with a poor chase. Made england look a lot better than they were but they at least got a win and another week together with the new coach.</p>

<p>Ireland wales was a breath of fresh air in comparison. Two sides showing urgency and desire and considerably more overall skill in evidence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not too bad really especially if you consider how poorly the ABs for example usually play in their first test of the year (to just remind some of the southern based posters   :yes:  )</p>

<p>Finally my age has a use!</p>
