A good start to the new season with three excellent matches this weekend.
Italy 10   France 50.    A not unexpected win for France
England 6 Scotland 11. A surprise result, overturning the expectations, and Scotland's first win at Twickenham for 38 years (19 matches)
Wales 21 Ireland 16.    A result which went against the pundits views, but would always be a close one to call. Wales benefitted by Ireland being reduced to 14 men for most of the game due to foul play. I would have liked to have seen a higher score, but Wales seem to have relaxed a little too soon when they saw they would be playing against 14 men, and allowed Ireland to take control of the remains of the first half.
