Well the 6 nations rugby has officially started today with England hosting Italy in the first of todays games at 3 this afternoon. England won their opening encounter of the championship however their performance was quite poor. Errors in selection left the Italians in trouble as their scrum-half for the day had his hand in gifting the English with their first 3 tries in the first half of the game. The Italians eventually lost the game by 36-11 however they had the higher percentage of both possetion and territory in the game however lost the game due to their first half errors with England running in 2 further tries in the second half to seal a fortunate win for the English.
This evening the French have travelled to Dublin with the game fairly close. The French scored the first try of the match and both teams playing reasonably well to entertain the Croke Park crowd. Ireland took a 3 point lead into the interval at half time. During a closely fought second half they extended their lead to come out on top with a 30-21 victory over the French
Tomorrow sees the Scots host the Welsh in the Sunday afternoon game.
