Who’s been watching? Really love the free flowing approach the home nations have been taking. Some fantastic games and unreal scorelines so far, with Wales/NZ still to come!

Yeah has been really good to watch and the home countries have come out of it well.

Let hope Wales can go that wee bit better than us against the all blacks.

On current form I think Scotland could win the six nations this year. :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, we rarely see Rugby televised her in Canada, the only exception being our Womens Sevens. They seem to be exceptional and considering that rugby is relegated to the shadows here I find that truly amazing.

Scotland vs NZ last week was a fantastic game. I didn’t see the Scotland vs Australia game but the score was remarkable (rest assured I’ve ribbed my Aussie fiancée for the second week :lol: )
I thought we coold have played a more convincing game against Samoa.

Shame that silly moment by Kepu deprived us of a closer game. Scotland were class though - think they would have won anyway, even without being a man up.

Just watched the highlights of the NZ/Wales game (live match was on too early in the morning for me). It was great to see the Welsh pouring everything into it; they had all the possession and time in the All Blacks' half but just couldn't quite convert that to more points.
It has been hugely entertaining watching the All Blacks play the Northern Hemishphere teams - the passion and strength these teams bring to the games is fantastic. Whenever we play against Australia or South Africa it seems so much more of a grind than the more free-flowing style the Northen Hemisphere teams play.
