[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 603430, member: 57076"] I'll respectfully take your word for it and keep it in a corner of my mind, but everything else that I've seen, read and heard cannot be nullified. And about the Welsh victory last 6N, I've explained my reaction many times: England were so lack-luster that tournament, the very idea that they would win the Grand Slam, along with fans on this forum and elsewhere going wild as to how England are building a team that will reach 2003 potential, and they look really really good for the RWC, got me sick of Rugby as a whole, or at least NH, and specifically England. A team that merely collects 3 pointers and calmly converts them doesn't earn my respect. I was so happy Wales took both the GS and 6N altogether away from England because of that mostly, and then the fact that Wales specifically would pound England in every possible sector of the match was something I liked to watch because of my Frenchness too, I won't hide that. But tbh, had England been a team that scored tries, that showed some kind of creativity in any way...I'd say they're a beautiful team and deserve the 6N and GS. But it wasn't the case, it was honestly flat-out boring to watch England against France, Italy, Ireland and Wales. Scotland got it bad on opening weekend, England looked good. I'm telling you, last March I was starting to doubt whether or not I really loved Rugby because of the shyttiness of play, the disappointment in France, and a team like England about to win it all.
