northern hemi vs southern

so northern hemi teams got their butts kicked over the weekend, any thoughts?

i didnt get to see the welsh or irish games but england surprised me with their strategy, one i had never seen before, yeah you guys know wot i'm talking about: lets defend to win...

It's only going to get worse now I reckon, particuarly for Wales and England (lets face it, can't really get worse for Ireland)

I don't think us NH teams will have any players left by the end of the month!!

It's a surprise to say this, but the only NH side to get a win was the Scots.

Didn't catch the Wales or Ireland games, but I felt England were a lot more disciplined than for the past couple of years.

Equally though, we just had no threat in attack. We can't persist with these two battering ram centres, you need one with a bit of guile.

England did well but you never felt like they could win, like you say no attack. They are going to be a top top team but I think a couple of beatings are coming their way the next 2 weeks.

Pretty much the same for Wales, but they have come in for lots of criticism, won't be favorites this week etc... So might just be able to keep it respectable.

The gap is just too great at the moment and by the end of this month we will all feel slightly embarassed I reckon.

Scotland did okay vs AUS to get that win, but I'd be suprised if they beat Fiji and Samoa now.

Itlay also got stuffed by Argentina

Domestic leagues are shocking

i haven't seen what lancaster has said about this but i was hopeful that mike catt might make a difference to the attacking game but the backs were poor, young farrell should have been taken off and barritt was shite, i will make an effort to check out ireland and wales in their next games, and yeah the aussies must be going through the shit grinder right now!!!
