Three Six Nations games are played today but unfortunately the early Saturday games overlap with a Super Rugby game and a game in the Lions Challenge.
So, we’ve decided to do one combined Six Nations Article for the early games and a seperate one for the late evening game… giving progress and scores from both Six Nations matches.
Here it is…

Hartley on, Youngs off
And Wales have one hand on the Cup!
Lawes also on
England clutching a bit at the moment
Wales clear, but England on attack again
Farrell throws away another advantage with a stupid Up and Under
Wales steal the ball. TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Cuthbert
And that’s it! Wales want it much more.
Great steal. England stupidly kicked awaytwice whilst on attack, and deserve to have that one go against them. When will sides learn to use the up and under properly?
Wales 17 / 3 England (58 min)
Good try by Wales
Walsh closes his eyes again. Penalty England. Kickable, what will they do?
Farrell goes for posts as England try to claw their way back into the game. But misses. Really, bring on Flood. He had a much better game last week, and was better than Farrell when he replaced him in the previous match. No reason to have dropped him in the first place, in my opinion
Jenkins off now, Warbuton will take over captaincy
…..and another scrum penalty to Wales
Why is the Halftime score not reflected?????
Oh, how they will be singing down in the valleys and the coal pits tonight!
Wales lineout just outside Englands 22
Wales on the charge now
@ Just For Kicks:
You’re in trouble now, the baas is the moer in for you 😉
@ grootblousmile: Sorry, oh great one. sorted now as Biggar drops.
And now England need to score twice to win the cup.
Wales (9) 20 / 3 (3) England (65 min)
170 @ The_Young_Turk:
171 @ Just For Kicks:
Hehehe
Flok julle…
I cant keep up. Cuthbert in for Another try
And the Dragons are running rampant. This is turning into a route!
Wow that was just incredible!
The Welsh will be singing about this day for sometime to come!
Jeez, looks like Wales is ramrodding the Poms
Brilliant, brilliant rugby
The win was already gone earlier and now the cup is gone too! Go Wales!
