I pity poor Italy on Sunday. There's going to be some pretty pissed off Kiwis running around a field looking to vent their frustration. Could be a bloodbath.
Fingers crossed for Parisse running 5 tries in. 
Its pouring with Rain in Reading - so assume Twickers will be a slippery muddy forward dominated affair. I wonder if the Principality stadium has had its roof closed or its open and they will play with it open?
Key games today.
All,
I'm sure you all know, but NOW TV is offering this entire month of sports (all SKY) channels for £25....
As long as you don't mind calling them before the 30 days is up to say fook off its too expensive, you get all the Rugby & Sky Sports F1 this month for £25! (C'mon what else do you get £25!)
Lots of Rugby & F1 all this month for £25! Get the Guinness, port & chateauneuf du pape out! (And the overpriced crisps of course
)
ENG 30 - RSA 9

Poor first and last quarter from England with some decent stufff in between. We have to have the best second row options in world rugby right now? Four genuinely superb locks and Atwood knocking on the door. Strength in depth is what it's all about.
A year ago we maybe had five players who had made the shirt their own...now there are ten or twelve with good options in lots of positions.

the Scotland match was a great game to watch (and how long has it been since you could say THAT about a Scotland match?), compare that to the poor (IMO) effort on show in Cardiff. It strikes me that quite a lot of Welsh players have forgotten that you are allowed to pass... exciting in one regard but poor fare.

I know what you mean about Wales. To be fair to them, they played like a team that had had a losing streak and just wanted to end it. So they did what they had to do, and did it well, if not that entertainingly.A good weekend's rugby.
As for England, I'm beginning to think like an England international rugby player. When we got 37 points I thought to myself, 'That's it. We've won.' So that made 16 of us.
But a good showing with some entertaining tries. There's some Springbok defenders who will be approached to buy Tower Bridge though.

At least the All Blacks are back on form again! Young Damian McKenzie played very well I thought.
Can you say that, given that they were only playing Italy? I chose not to watch that match, given my wife's limited tolerance for rugby, so don't know if it was really the ABs on form, or usual service from poor old Sergio P and the 22 journeymen he has with him.Kermit power said:
