Wales 16 France 6!!
France are the only team capable of "winning" the wooden spoon now
After our result against Italy (a nice suprise) it's good to have a bit of competition for the dreaded spoon
Impossible for you to win the spoon this year, it goes to any team that records no wins

I thought it was just for finishing bottom
Wooden Spoon (Spoon) is a children's charity founded in 1983, when the England rugby team received the Wooden Spoon in the 5 Nations. Spoon is dedicated to helping children and young people who are disadvantaged physically, mentally or socially by using sport as a method of improving lives while harnessing the spirit and values of rugby.[citation needed] Wooden Spoon encompasses more than 10,000 members across the UK and Ireland with over 40 regional volunteer committees, who organise fundraising events and challenges:
To date, Spoon has helped over 500,000 children and donated over £15 million to a variety of causes
I wouldn't say "humbled". It was a poor game between two poor sides, with one moment between them. Neither team showed much skill or imagination. The Scotland / Italy game was better, and much closer than the score line suggests. Two well-balanced teams, with four stupid errors from the Italians making the difference. Good, old-fashioned forwards game in Dublin, with both teams adapting to the conditions well (one of the joys of rugby is how it does that). England kept their cool better (OK, one player sin-binned, but Ireland could well have had a red card very early on).Humbled in the Stade de France. ... France have problems...
Sunday, 17th February.....Premiership result
London Welsh 25...Sale Sharks 26
A hard-fought bottom of the table clash at the Kassam Stadium that gave Sale Sharks a little more hope in their fight to retain their Premiership status.
Combining the two items for a moment - did anyone see the pitch at Twickers get the Top Gear Rugby treatment this evening?
What the hell have France done?! I hope Trinh-Duc was injured, otherwise it's criminal to have taken him off. Still, thanks for the gifted win - the Grand Slam dream is still on.
Plastered all over a pub outside Inverness station:
'Free pint if Scotland win'
Make of that what you will....
Well I wonder how many they had to provide.....
12-8 win over Ireland despite being 8-0 down ......Two wins in a row for Scotland, I'm dreaming
Scotland 18...Wales 28
Scotland's recent revival ends as Wales keep up their challenge at the top
Ireland 13...France 13
Who would have thought this would have been the first match that France has not been defeated in this the current campaign. Les Blues supporters must been in deep depression at present.
Ferret:1392044 said:France should've lost that game too, poor defending from the Irish and a couple of poor place kicks really cost them a win. I cannot understand the decision to persevere with Michalak, who (apart from one excellent conversion) did very little of use all afternoon.
Also did they actually score their try to make it 13-11 as it looked to me he was short
I wonder if Wales couldn't win the title if they would of elected to keep the roof open, to make it a bit harder for England, I think they would
I wonder if the statement made by a Welsh player that suggested the word "bloodbath" was a similar ploy to unsettle the England team ?
A supporter said it to the player, it wasn't the players words(George North)....I think he was a bit silly to quote it to be honest, it may fire England up, being as I'm Welsh, I don't want that to happen.

It's going to be a tough game, especially when the centres clash
