Ive read a lot over the last couple of weeks that england were favourites for the world cup, so im sure they won very easily.

HE LIVES!
How are you rob? Not seen you round here for a while…

Were England the favourites? I thought that would be New Zealand. Or was it Ireland?
Not the Aussies, anyway

Didn't win then?

I post "congrats to Wales" but poor old rob is still struggling

Should be a good final two rounds.
Wales have Scotland away then Ireland at home.
Will be a great achievement if they win both of them.

Aus v Wales in the World Cup group stage will be a fascinating encounter, too

it must be a bit sore for you but found out it ended 21-13 so not even losing bonus point for eng.

Are england not quite as good as they thought after the first 2 games?

England messed up that second half. The final scoreline flattered Wales given that last try came from a handling error.

Jones has potentially gifted them a grand slam...unless Ireland can put a spanner in the works.

Ahhh so it wasnt Wales who won it, it was gifted to them? An aussie coach's fault?

The narrative before the tournament started was that Ireland were going to brush everybody aside and win the Grand Slam easily (then face the Kiwis in the World Cup final). Ireland were big favourites with the bookies to win the 6N (and the Grand Slam).
It hasn't panned out that way.

I think the likely result is that Ireland will beat Wales on the final weekend and there will be three teams with four wins each, which will be a fair reflection of the state of the northern-hemisphere sides.

im sure england will end up winning it, natural order etc.

Game of two halves. Has to be said thats some crowd they have. You can tell how much rugby means to them hence it’s always sweeter when you beat them. Sadly we didn’t.

Knowing Scotland, who have underperformed massively so far, they'll probably beat either Wales or England

Daily Mail has england as winning that game, despite the result!
