Here are your weekly results (I couldn't see the games).

Wales-France : 9-13
It seems the French press praised the French defence while the foreign one said that France didn't convince them. A small victory but a victory nonetheless.

Italy-Scotland: 22-33
Italy did manage to try something. They were less efficient for the first 20 minutes of the second half but it seems that Scotland was more efficient/realistic.

England-Ireland: 15-32
With a really early (1st or 2nd minut) red card, England played with 14 players only but played like in a frenzy and only through physical exhaustion did Ireland manage to secure their victory.


Next week is super Saturday with the last game being France-England and Ireland being only 2 points away.

It really seems to me that France is the superior team of the tourney this year. Defeating England will cement this in my mind. Ireland seems to be on the way up though.

After reading how England played and knowing the traditional rivalry between both teams, it will be a real finale.

And what do you think of the French game?

Congratulations to France!

Ireland was the closest competition but France was superior in 2022.

France was superior but didn't impress so much (I know that I will be the only one to have that feeling). Really good defence and a team facing messy Englanders but I felt something was missing (I don't know what).

Even if Takiro spoiled it, I will post the games as they were pretty good.

Wales-Italy : 21-22
Italy hadn't won since 2015 (says Internet) but they deserve every point of this game. They put pressure on Wales that was a bit acting like they were elsewhere. On the second half, Wales pushed back and after an hour of fighting, it seemed Italy would fail under pressure and lose the game but at the last minute they scored a try and scored the kick.

Ireland-Scotland: 26-5
Scotland was all the time under pressure and only once did they manage to get through the thin green line. They had some plays but couldn't deliver (like when Stuart Hogg played too much solo and lost the opportunity for Scotland to get back in the game).
Ireland played according to their plan using their strong points. They will need to sometimes manage to change their way of playing but it suits them to a T.

France-England: 25-13
Great defence and a team facing a messy England with a collection of players that failed to find options (both because of the impressive and aggressive defence and of their own limitations).
France was there and clearly superior.

Sorry for the spoiler. Was waiting on a wedding reception in Brooklyn and following the match.

As a sports fan I can understand what you mean Ice. I've had imperfect teams that I pull for win it all and can say they were missing something. Sometimes the most talented team doesn't always win although I won't say that about France here. They just aren't perfect. Don't worry there is always next for perfection! Enjoy the championship!!
