I've been hearing alot about this Voyce lad without seeing him much, first impresssion = overated. Definately felt that the game might have been over in the first half had Lewsey played the full half.

Varndell definitely deserves a place, his form is off the scale compared to Cohens at the moment.

England - Italy should be a win for England so i'll go for an England victory by 35 points.
Wales - Scotland will be a very close game, Scotland had a great result and performance last week and Wales were a lot better than the scoreline suggested. I have a feeling that wales will just sneak it by about 10 points.
France - Ireland Both teams under performed last week, so dont expect it to happen again this week. France by 17 points.

Scotland were flattered last week, France were woeful for the first 50 minutes. I didn't see anything from the sweaties to worry us.

Apart from a tremendous defense, tremendous scrum and a tremendous lineout. France were woeful, but for a reason.

On a rugby message board I go on, one Welshman is convinced England should have had FIVE tries disallowed! (LOL!), and that a penalty try should have been awarded to Wales when Cohen scouped at the ball in the corner.

He therefore feels Wales actually won, and won't hear of anything else.

Can't see how Five tries could be dissallowed - certainly, Dawson did knock the ball on.

No, I don't agree that Wales should have recieved a penalty try for Cohen - think it was wonderful skill from the Winger.

Thought England deserved a penalty try in the first half though.

Result!

Getting good at this score predicting :)

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 12 Feb 2006, 12:42

GET IN! Peel was outstanding yet again he just gets better and better. Shame about the sending off but he had to go after that kick. Fair play to the sweaties they finished strongly even a man short.

lvlarc · Post by **lvlarc** » 12 Feb 2006, 12:47

Yeh felt bad for the sending off. Thought he could of got off with being sin binned.

Onwards and upwards now

A kick to the face is a red card offence, thats the rules I dont think the ref really had a choice.

lvlarc · Post by **lvlarc** » 12 Feb 2006, 12:52

True

Ahh songs of praise on now.

It will be interesting to see how Henson looks next weekend for Ospreys although he hasn't played a match for 7 weeks his conditioning will be excellent it always is, although the midfield played well today I think he'd add something in there at inside centre. I'd consider keeping Watkins in the side and play him outside centre with Luscombe on the bench and Henson at inside centre. My feeling is Ruddock will start with Henson on the bench however.

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 12 Feb 2006, 13:42

I would like to see Thomas and Watkins at 12 and 13 with Byrne at Full Back - Henson on the bench at the moment.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 12 Feb 2006, 13:44

Thomas is great in the centre no doubt about it, is Byrne good enough to fill his boots at fullback though? I am not convinced of that yet, and Ruddock can't be either or Thomas would surely have played centre the last couple of games if that was the case.
