Unsurprisingly, the French stuffed Italy. Less predictably, Scotland are leading England.
Italy v France was agonising. The hosts kept on getting so far, then screwing it up. It feels like they've improved a heck of a lot, but still no match for Dupont and his pals. France remain the most exciting and interesting team at moment.
Half-time at England v Scotland. And yes, what the hell is going on?
You know those bits in the Asterix books when the Gauls drink the magic potion and start thumping the Jupiter out of the Romans? That's what's happening here.
Really enjoyed watching Italy again today. It's like they are getting so close to something every time. England again felt scrappy - was it me or where there too many fumbles.
It's agonising because every game or so, there'll be one moment that's absolutely brilliant but it either collapses when something they've not planned for happens or they don't try to repeat it.
Of course, the universe could just be balancing out how dam good the current French team are.
This is complex, technical stuff, especially watching it straight after Ireland v England. No idea how it'll end but frankly all that matters is the surprise appearance of Ntamack! Hooray!
