I'd say that Wales are just about above average.
What we have are the three other home nations with the same managers, trying, but not appearing to have a plan or the players to implement them.
Ireland have just lost their lucky charm in O'Driscal. England...well what can you say. They did good against France - more on that later - but they have players in there that just don't seem to get ball. That winger...Viasomethingorother, I thought he could tank his way through the outer defences? Paul Sacky has been the man, you need another like him. Wilkinson, what a superb points tally, considering his injuries. Something though is missing, he's just ot popping. England still have a fierce front five, but is there room to experiment?
Scotland, have been below par, but they did show some guts yesterday. The old Scottish - English rivalry always makes for a good game, and can add fire to the belly. Hadden must be in fear for his job though, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes. I feel sorry for them as well, with only two teams in the Magners league, it can't be easy picking talent from them, and from Scottish players playing in southern border clubs.
France. Worrying. Great pool of talent, and a new manager. He will have been given time to pull things together, and has a strong talent pool to dip his toe into. Wales can beat them on their current form and take the Grand Slam. France will be runner ups unless their is an upset when they play Italy today. Loosing to England is never good, especially at home, but that team needs to experiment quickly.
Italy - Question, why aren't Argentina replacing them in the six nations?
