Ireland
won by 6 points. I predicted Ireland by 15
A
tense match resulted in a try a piece and a win to Ireland in which the lead
changed hands many times. In the end Ireland sneaked ahead on kicks and
England, the World Cup holders, slumped to their third straight loss in this
tournament. The result could mean a Wales v Ireland showdown for the 6 Nations
Trophy. Ireland will have to defeat France in Dublin in two weeks time for this
to happen.

France v Wales in Paris (6 Nations International Championship)
This is a crucial match in
this championship. Wales will travel to Paris with all the form to take this
match and have a foot in the door of this championship.
Wales showed last weekend
that they are the form team in this competition. The Principality is simply
buzzing with hopes of a true revival of Welsh rugby.
France is so unpredictable
and when they are not playing well they are even more unpredictable. They just
managed to push past an out of sorts England last weekend through goal kicking
and may be returning to some sort of form. The team changes for this match will
see France put a very strong team onto the park. With the match to be played on
their home turf anything could happen. Wouldn’t you just love to be there?
For Wales, two changes from
the team that defeated Italy. Daffydd Jones is out injured and replaced by Ryan
Jones. Winger Hal Luscombe is out and replaced by Kevin Morgan. Rhys Williams
comes onto the bench.
France has made a number of
changes from the team that defeated England. Fullback Julien Laharrague will
play his first test, Yannick Jauzion comes into the midfield, wing Aurelien
Rougerie comes back from injury, Yannick Nyanga comes in to number eight and
flank Serge Betson returns to play his 46th test.

Romania v Russia in Timosoara (European Nations Cup)
The great and old rivals of
Eastern Europe clash in this beautiful old Western Romanian city of Timosoara,
close to the Serbian and Hungarian borders.
Romania will be a different
team in this competition than that which caved in to Wales last November.
Russia has struggled on the World and European scene of late but did win well
against the Romanians in Russia last season. I can’t see Romania losing this
one at home.

Georgia v Ukraine in Tibillisi (European Nations Cup)
In the early days of
independence from Russia in the 90’s these teams played each other regularly.
Georgia won all those encounters if not always comfortably. The rugby world has
changed since those days.
Ukraine has a daunting task
as new chums in this competition and they will find the Georgians far removed
from the raw recruits of the 90’s.
The Ukrainians crashed
against Portugal 16-36 at home last November in their opening challenge for
this cup. They will find playing away in Georgia even more of a worry.
Georgia is regaining some of
their pre-World Cup 2003 form although they dropped the game against Portugal a
few weeks ago. Georgia will rely almost entirely upon muscle in this
competition and the Ukrainians will struggle to hold them in the forwards.
The Georgians have made some
wholesale changes to the line up that took the field in Lisbon. The selectors
have appeared to use the opportunity playing Ukraine to use some fringe
selection players.
Two players, Magrakvelidze
and Shvelidze, have been allowed to play for their French clubs, Mtchedishvili
is injured, the others not selected. In come a mostly new front row in
Kopaliani, Javelidze and Zerakashvili, lock Datunashvili and utility
flanker/back Katsadze.
In the backs Pirilashvili
and rugby league player Khachivashvili have moved in whilst Urjukashvili and
Guiorgadze are out.
Thanks to those on the new
FIRA-AER forum.

Ireland
were too good for a disappointing Scotland team. The Irish outplayed the Scots
up front and the rest was history.

Spain
was expected to run away with this match. They dominated throughout but often
could not penetrate a determined Andorran defence. The astute boot and goal
kicking ability of Esteban Roque made the difference.

Ireland won by
11 points. I predicted Ireland by 30
Ireland bumbled,
fumbled and struggled against a plucky Italian side in Rome. Italy matched
and even surpassed Ireland in every department except speed out wide which
turned out to be the difference between the teams. The gap between the top and
the near bottom doesn't look so wide after all.

France 16, Scotland 9 in Paris (6 Nations International
Championship)
France won by 7 points. I predicted France by 20.
A very spirited performance by Scotland who won everything but the
match. As I said in my preview France could play poorly and still win. They
did. It was some lucky refreeing decisions that helped France and on this
performance they will struggle to retain their 6 Nations crown. Scotland will
continue to rise. Hopefully this will signal a new era for them.

Wales 11, England 9 in Cardiff (6 Nations International
Championship) HT 8-3
Wales
won by 2 points. I predicted Wales by 3.
Wales broke a 12
year hoodoo with this historic win over arch-rivals England.
This was the
sort of win that stirs the hearts of even non-Welshmen( and women) for its the
underdog taking it to the top dog. Wales deserved the win as they had the
bigger spirit and played the better football. England will need to look at
their try scoring ability because in this game it was virtually non existant.
The sledge hammer forward effort is not enough in the modern game.
Martyn Williams
played his 50th test for Wales.

Portugal 18, Georgia 14 in Lisbon (European Nations Cup) HT
11-3
Portugal
won by 4 points. I predicted Portugal by 7
Portugal won in
the last minute relecting same result last time Georgia played in Portugal.
Very disappointing for Georgia but an exciting win for Portugal. Sounds like
fair bit of Argy Bargy in last few moments of the game with the situation
getting out of hand.
Replacement
player Lekso Gugava was sent off in the 80th minute. Looks like David Ashveti,
playing his first international since 1998, was a late replacement for David
Khinchaguishvili. ‘The game was shown live on Georgian Public TV Channel 1
despite nation-wide mourning of Prime Minister Zurab Jvania. Lelos wore black
armbands and a minute silence was observed before the kickoff.’

France
XV won by 15 points. I predicted Spain by 10
After holding
the French Amateur team to 15-15 at halftime the Spanish national team, in
front of a home crowd of 5,000, had to give way to pressure and conceded a last
minute try.
This was a
bruising encounter, a match with tension and atmosphere in which the Czech
Republic referee had to stop the match on occasions to calm the players down.
In the end the superior goal kicking of the French was the difference between
these teams. Spanish coach Gerard Glynn was pleased with the way his team
played the game, their attitude and their willingness to confront and compete
with the French players.
Spains next
venture is to play Andrra on February 12th as part of their World Cup 2007
qualifying programme. The French Amateurs will play the English Counties side.
