Italy beat France. I'm still not quite sure how, the French defence looked really strong.
Looks like Scotland are going to be taking home the Wooden Spoon again.

Balitmore wins the Super Bowl, 34-31 over San Francisco. Joe Flacco wins the MVP, so he can pretend he's an elite quarterback now.

Screw the Ravens. That is all.

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."

I may have spoken too soon
Scotland - Italy was a great game, both teams played well. Scotland deserved the win, the attacking play about 13 minutes in was brilliant.
Wales - France not so much, personally I found it a bit boring and ended up reading my book for most of the second half. It's always good to see the French being beaten at home though, especially when it puts them at the bottom of the table
It looks like England - Ireland tomorrow could decide who wins overall.

England won, not prettily though. Constant rain and loose turf made it a messy game with lots of handling errors from both sides.
I'm impressed at the English defence, the Irish team looked more dangerous attacking but couldn't seem to find a way through.
Cian Healy deserved to be sent off for frankly disgraceful behaviour and will hopefully be banned from the rest of the tournament. The best example was about 15 minutes in when the Irish are winning a ruck, Jonathan Sexton has his hands on the ball and Healy comes charging in from several metres away to stamp on an English player's ankle that wasn't even obstructing the ball. There was dirty play from both sides but Healy looked like he was deliberately trying to injure people.
Edit - Here's a clip, it happens about 20 seconds in.

I was ill all weekend so I lay on the couch enjoying the rugger...even though after the Scotland match it all got rather stuck in the mud. There was more gardening than good rugby in the France v Wales match but Wales won!!!!!! Ireland v England was one of the worst game of rugby I've ever seen...again lots of gardening, although it looked like the turf had been on the pitch for more than a few hours unlike the pitch in Paris.
Swansea 4 QPR 1...lots of twitching from Harry Redknapp.

Yes he deserves a ban, could have broken the leg.
