First time ever in Ireland.

Scotland lost a close one to South Africa and after a poor first half England beat Japan, who looked very impressive.

I knew them but I just wanted to speak about the most incredible one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06ON6cQBUXE)

France won against Argentina, Wales won against Tonga and Italy lost against South Africa.

All I now that the USA is going to get smashed in their once the World cup starts. If they are extremely lucky they might squeak out a 3rd place in group, but more likely a 4th.

I don't know much about rugby, but I enjoy watching it. I just wish these games were more accessible here in the US.

And yes, it is this time of the year again.

France - Wales : 19-24
I had the feeling of a two sided game.
First half-time 16-0 for France and then in the second 3-24.
The Welsh were impressive on how they didn't anything let it go.
Both teams had a really good half-time.

Scotland - Italy : 33-20
The game was for most of it pretty much one-sided with many mistakes by the Italians (as most of the time) but in the end they managed to get back thanks to some overconfidence and lack of discipline.

Ireland - England : 20-32
Impressive England. Ireland never stood a chance and was totally outclassed by a really impressive English team that didn't anything go during the entire game, be it in defensive or in offensive periods.
I think England is in for a Grand Slam.
