Neither do we, that's the problem.

I think we now know.

Let the tournament begin!!!

Ireland - Wales: 29-7
Missing several players because of injury (among them their usual captain, wich is a mainstay of their teams) and some of their players on the field but not in the game, the last year champion Wales totally missed its game and Ireland made a demonstration.
The score could have been heavier (but Ireland scored 4 tries) and Wales managed to save the honor following a mistake by the Irish in the last period of the game (to be noted only 3 penalties against Ireland and the first one around the 53 minutes).

Scotland - England: 20-17
A game with a lot of fighting spirit in it (as usual between these two teams) and probably not the most beautiful game of this year (something usual too).
England had managed to gain the upper hand but the English hooker (it's the real name of this position) made a big mistake, smashing the ball forward like in volley and out of the field when he was the last defender. He got expelled for 10 minutes and Scotland got a penalty try which brought them back in the game.
Both teams fought to the end and the English could have won as they had a scrum in the last minute of the game in the Scottish side which was remade 3 or 4 times.

Nice, and sort of as expected. Seems like there is two tiers this year with Scotland, Wales, and Italy being lesser than England, Ireland, and France.

France and Italy start up at 3 PM Eastern Time here.

France - Italy: 37-10
France had to wait before managing to break through the Italians and was even a bit behind in score for 20 minutes or so.
As usual, Italy didn't manage to last in its efforts or to push through the French defense.
In the end, an expected victory and one that brings France before Ireland.

Scotland won against England. I am not sure how this fits in your two tiers. And Wales had several players away.

Back to back Calcutta Cup wins for the first time in 40 years I think for Scotland.  I wasn't able to see the game as I was at work but I followed the text updates until the end then went and watched the Aberdeen Lynx Ice Hockey Team continue to hold onto their Scottish National League lead a good night for sport in my part of bony Scotland

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

2 games today

Wales-Scotland: 20-17
Another contested game with a high intensity 1st half (14-14) that decreased in the second half-time.
Scotland took a yellow card in the last 15 minutes (somewhre around that time) and this is where Wales managed to make the difference.


France-Ireland: 30-24
A really highly contested game with 80 minutes without a break.
Ireland was without its usual kicker and tactician (because of injury) but the reserve one did a good game.
France managed to win thanks to its solid defense and its kicker (20 points scored).
The game was really breathtaking.

Two good games I heard. Sorry I missed them. Trying to find it on here in the States is difficult. I don't have the Peacock streaming service which I hear is one way to see the matches.
