Well done Scotland on their 9-8 victory, great defence, needed a lot of luck and deservedly got it.

Brilliantly dogged defensive display. Wins for Wales against Oz and Ireland against S.Africa next weekend hopefully , would make for a pretty decent Autumn for the North against the SHemisphere big 3

So , we the key to Ugo Monye keeping hold of the ball in those Lions tests , would've been to play with a sim card instead

Yes, up to 63 minutes when the missus wanted to watch "I'm a sleb".

It was fairly turgid crap. Both!

I suppose technically he's right in terms of the points loss, but what I saw on the pitch England are way off the Southern Hemisphere teams.

I reckon Rob Andrew is trying protect his back, as practically all supporters of GP teams universally panned the performance by the national side.

Rob Andrew is a nob of the highest order. English rugby should get rid of him.

Ryan Jones out for Wales, Lydiate in, Powell to number 8.

Also, does anyone know if/when Newport play Cornish Pirates at Rodney Parade in the B&ICup?

I have a good feeling today that the North will do really well today

Predictions - Ireland, Scotland and Wales to win their matches

But New Zealand to just edge out France

Giteau misses the conversion ,

Getting very unlucky with injuries during the game but that's partly as a result of failing to match Oz intensity at the start.

Is it 6nations time yet:yawn:

Dear o Dear , We (Wales) have been utterly abysmal. Aus thoroughly deserving their 12-33 lead with 8mins left. No excuses with the injuries we had during the game , we weren't sharp enough from the kick off.
Really need Adam Jones , Mike Phillips and Lee Byrne to be fit in time for the six nations. I do wish Gavin Henson would make up his mind whether he's going to play rugby again soon , we lack any creativity in the midfield without him to be honest and have done since the '08 6nations when he last played regularly for Wales.
Not sure why Gatland left Ian Gough out of our Autumn squad , he's a big presence in the 2nd row whose capable of some huge hits in defence. Also , why does he persist with Andy Powell starting test matches in the back row. he's an impact player at best. We need to revert to the '08 back row of Johnathan Thomas , Martyn Williams and Ryan Jones.

And the All Blacks beat France 39-12 so the South take the honours on this final week of the Autumn Internationals 3-2

Still the World Champions and Australia have both been beaten this year, that's progress from last year.

Wales ran out of steam - they don't do well with the favourites tag on their shoulder. They can't even blame losing Ryan, Shane, Leigh and Matthew Rees as they should have enough strengthindepth to cope with things like that. Clearly a lot of soul searching and a huge improvement in the regions' attitude is needed for the Six Nations.
