Hell of a result for the Italians. I suppose it also puts S. Africa's current form into context.
I watched Wales play Japan and what a turgid, unimaginative affair that was on Wale's part. It makes the up coming match between Wales and S. Africa an interesting one.
I have read of NZ's win against Ireland, and the complaints that Peyper, the referee, should have issued red cards to NZ players and that the ball wasn't grounded for a NZ try. I take it that it was far from a convincing win for NZ.
Scotland nick the win over Argentina (recorded and not yet watched).
The England highlights were impressive, with some wonderful passages of play and quick hands.
All in all, the 6 Nations is building towards a terrific competition in the new year.
The make up of the Lions will be interesting too. I am becoming less pessimistic about the Lion's chances in New Zealand, but the Warren Ball game plan will have to be ammended, along with the Welsh centred selection.

Good win for Bath to go top, but I had to check the score twice....it was close!

Click a link hereaboutsAre we allowed to start constructing our dream team for next year's Lions Tour? Ground Rules: XV Current players only, with an equal(ish) split between the nations. Could be interesting to see how close our predictions actually are to the named team.

Coaching team first don't you think?
Andy Farrell is looking good for defence. Gatland took him last time, and the last two performances by Ireland would suggest he'll stick with him.
I'm uncertain about attack. Gregor Townsend has been widely touted, but Lee Blackett being an ex Titan would be interesting.
Do you think Gatland will be adventurous, or indeed do you think as part of any sort of succession planning the RFU may steer him towards taking British coaches?
