Anyone watch it over the weekend.  up to the England lads, shaky start, but picked up well. Some well worked tries, and the whole tema looks good as a unit even after the changes. Can't believe the muscles all the team have got now. Even JohnnoW is looking huge now!
Scotland, very very very poor performance i thought. They got the win and the points, but the standard of play reminded me of schoolboy rugby. Too many mistakes, and just didn't flow enuff.
Didn't watch the welsh game, heard it was a shaky start but they found their feet and rocked onto a 40 point tally.
So far so good though for all the UK teams  Roll on South Africa next weekend. I shall be pinned to the TV

Next Saturday should be a very good game IMO. England seem to be looking in good shape - it's definately going to be a close game, but I reckon England will get the win

Same as, even the Springbox coach has said SA need to improve a lot before tehir game next weekend.
Even though im hoping, and the odds are that we should win, never under estimate the south africans. They are still a very very good side.
I understand Van Der Vesthazen is playing again for SA. He's quality

yeah he's a quality scrum half, great at those sniping runs.....really don't know why he wasn't playing for a while.
same can be said for a lot of new zealand players eg christian cullen playing for munster now if i am not mistaken!!

All No.9's are injured... That's why Wood is flying out today, in case they can't make the next game. Woodward said he will announce on Thursday what will happen if there are to be any team changes.

Went out on an all day bender in my local for the Rugby yesterday fucking quality day out. England looked impressive even though the opposition were piss poor.
I actually think we'll put more points on South Africa than people think, they haven't looked to convincing in their last couple of outings to me.
Finally an English team to be proud of and with a chance of actually winning something something.

REally? I've been out of the circuit for a couple of years (too involved with cars), but im trying to look into things again. Cullan used to be superb.
Healy has been re-called again also i think. Read something about it in the Metro today. Im sure the No9's will both be ok. They have a weeks rest, and im pretty sure will receive the best treatment.

I've Just heard a rumor that Gregan's signing for the Falcons after the World Cup, god I hope so, proper class act in my opinion and the kind of player we need at Newcastle
