As a fallow 6 Nations weekend approaches, time perhaps to reflect on what we have seen so far:
- Cracking rugby;
- Five of the six teams have achieved at least one victory in their opening two matches;
- England’s late, late shows are doing my heart no good at all;
- Two-thirds of all games have been edge of the seat affairs decided by one score;
- Attacking intent is evident even if, to date, defences have largely prevailed;
- Italy’s progress has at best stalled – and calls for Georgia to replace the Azurri in the competition are, whilst probably unrealistic, no longer without merit;
- The number of injuries gives lie to any suggestion that the Six Nations should in future be cut from 7 weeks to 5 – yes it’s frustrating but the fallow weekends are important to allow teams to rest and recuperate.
Can’t wait for next weekend…
