What is going on with Wales? After finishing the group stage of the 2023 World Cup at 4-0 they have proceeded to lose 14 straight including twice to Italy. Next match is against Ireland so likely on 15 soon.

They have lost a lot of that team.
Couple that with a labour dispute that was "settled" and things aren't looking good.
I read an article today that Shaun Edwards might leave France to be the HC of Wales.

France at their most French is always a force to be reckoned with. Ireland was in need of a good humbling anyway. Just a shame Italy has to deal with the response.
When was the last time the 6 nations top 4 were all undecided going into the last week?
Have attempted to figure the winning scenarios. Simplest is France wins with a win, England wins with a win and a French loss, Ireland wins with and win and France and England losses, and Scotland needs Ireland and England to lose while beating France by 52 points. Go Scotland! Of course there are a bunch of other scenarios involving bonus points, point differential, and the possibility of draws that makes it super complicated.
Anyone following Super Rugby Pacific? It’s been pretty epic so far this season with lots of try scoring and 14 of the 20 games decided by less than 10 points. The Islander teams are more competitive and the Aussies look much better with the reduction to 4 teams. Even the much maligned Western Force are getting in on the action with two insane wins of 45-44 and 45-42.

Today I learned you can’t jump to avoid a tackle. Cost Wales an epic try and comeback against Scotland.
France smashed Ireland and can win the 6 Nations by beating Scotland next week.
Jumping into the tackle has been a law forever.

I wonder if defense is elective in Super Rugby this year.
I have always loved Super Rugby, but wonder if it has swung too far towards the attack side of the game.
A resurgent Aussie Team, built of Super Rugby success would be wonferful.

The French team is currently amazing.

the game has changed so much in such a short period
Love the terracing in the stadium.
I was at the Rugby World Cup in 1991 (spectator to be clear) and I don’t remember it being so….old. Yes, it was terracing as well but wow…things have changed. It’s only been haha 35 years!
