So Argentina 🇦🇷 have beaten NZ for the first time what a result that is for them. Bloody Norah 😲 Have NZ lost their aura? Argentina's game in 13 months to boot- they've not played since the World Cup, no friendlies or anything. First time NZ have lost two in a row since 2011.

When I watched Wales in their last 6 Nations game the commentator said they were "a team in transition" a couple of times. I can't believe they have dipped so much since Gatland left. I didn't see the Ireland game as I haven't got Amazon Prime, but they were pretty lacking in most areas in the 6 Nations and bore no resemblance to Gatland's team.Thank goodness Gatland's gone Gatland had them punching above their weight- two World Cup semis and two Grand Slams was it?

Not just Gatland, Edwards was vital to then and you can tell by just how much the French defence has improved since he rocked up there.

The first thing I looked at was the NZ team thinking it would be a young inexperienced side but no fair play to Argentina they beat a very good side.

Outmuscled the Georgia pack easily, their captain gave a good interview after.

Think the weather and poor conditions stopped us wracking up 60+ points tbh, comfortable to say the least.

Sam Simmonds has just scored a quite fantastic try for Exter. I have absolutely no idea why old Eddie doesn't pick him for England, especially when Billy hasn't been at his best for the past 18 months imo. It's a real shame.

Good start for Exeter tonight and a good win for Sale Sharks over Northampton. Not the same without the fans but it's good that the season hasfinally started.
Looking forward to the England game tomorrow.

And Argentina have just drawn with Australian 15-15 😯 Seems fair considering they've both recently beat NZ This goes back to Italy and the 6 Nations- no progression or even win in that tournament since 2015 yet Argentina have beaten most (if not all) of the big nations at some point and reached a couple of World Cup semis.

France were given a 28-0 victory against Fiji so I suppose Scotland will get the same. 28 points equates to 4 converted tries so they get a bonus point as well I pressume, not sure on that.

I really did. England scored early and then killed the game off. It was a bit like watching Belgium v England on Sunday- Ireland huffed and puffed but didn't have the wherewithal to take chances.

I thought England were fairly dominant throughout the game but didn't really look very threatening after the second try and almost seemed happy just to try to contain Ireland in the second half.
