Glad to see we're back on track after the grammatically incorrect 'proper English' tangent (although I was ready to bring renounced pronunciation into the equation). Anyway, it's time to be opinionated.
I personally think England's victory at the weekend was more due to Scotland doing everything in their power to lose rather than us playing well. That said, I'm willing to give Lancaster the benefit of the doubt for now as we really need to inject young talent into the squad and a few shaky games early on will hopefully lay the foundations for a more prosperous future.
I'm glad to hear that Lee Dickson is recovering rapidly from his hand injury as I believe he is one of, if not the, best scrum half in the country at the moment and he needs to be given more of an opportunity to showcase his abilities (and yes I am a Saints fan before you ask). Whilst I'm on the Saints bandwagon (more players on International duty than any other Prem team might I add), it's also a shame Wood isn't available. Couldn't care less about Lawes as he is massively overrated.
I'm surprised the France vs Italy game hasn't had much more comment. Whilst France won, Italy seemed to me the better side and we yet again let down by their fitness in the last 20 and inability to converty try scoring opportunities into points.
If I was a betting man I'd probably back Wales, maybe even for a Grand Slam since they've got 3 games at home now to gather even more momentum.
