R B S 6 Nations: Round 3

OK peeps, it's a fortnight since we last played. Some would have appreciated the extra rest, others would have wanted another game last weekend as they're on a roll.
Wales have gone with the decision to drop Spike (Phillips) for Webb. No argument with that, but Biggar deserves the 10 jersey ahead of Priestland, epsecially as he and Webb played so well for Ospreys last weekend, they are a great partnership.
North moves to centre, which could turn out to be a mouthwatering prospect, Jamie and he should be punching some big holes in the middle, George has no little guile to add too.
It's a tough one to call, bar 10 minutes v Italy the French were largely ineffective and the scoreline flattered them. As we are at home and some players are playing for their international careers I'll say Wales, but it'll be tough going.
Scotland go to Italy, who have turned their new venue into something of a fortress recently. They improve year on year, whilst Scotland now look largely in disarray. This could be a Spoon decider and I fully expect the Romans to make full use of home advantage.
Then it's on to Twickers for what should be the game of the weekend. Ireland look menacing under the stewardship of Schmidt and weren't really tested last time out as a result of a dire Welsh performance.
Lancaster has new blood again and an exciting prospect in Ford. Should be a humdinger, though I feel the Twickenham roar will see those of the chariot reign supreme.
So, predictions.......
Wales 22 France 18
Italy 25 Scotland 13
England 25 Ireland 17

I'm not one to gloat, but............ BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
If I'd have known it was going to be that easy I'd have had a cheeky punt! Taking nothing away from Wales (who were, to be fair, majestic), France were utterly devoid of ideas. Constantly going sideways in possession and rarely breaking the gain line it was like watching a replay of Wales a fortnight ago.
Not sure how Jenkins got MotM (it was Warbs or Jamie, surely?), I think Jiffy was trying to make sure he plays against England.
As a side note, did anyone see Sam (Captain) Warburton's post match interview? Whilst refusing to be drawn on the RWC red card, he said how he and Referee Rolland had worked together during 2 games since the RWC and that he (Rolland) is a world class referee.
Imagine the response of a £300,000 per week footballer who had been sent off in a World Cup semi final?
Footballers and rugby players are from utterly different worlds and I for one am glad to see them remain so.
Roll on 2 weeks on Sunday.
Cymru Am Byth.

I was just glad that Wales didn't get into the kicking game that they did in the last game as they will nearly always lose that. That and the fact they didn't play well at all against Ireland or Italy really. Priestland does tend to kick a bit too much for my liking. Wales play so much better when they have ball in hand and run with it instead of the long kick up field. My main gripe with the game at the moment is the fact that the scrum is getting worse and something needs to be done about it if they want more people to watch on TV and more importantly go to games.
