[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 148823"] France have had one poor performance, and that i think was against an opponent that has beat them most of the time in recent years and they got the mindset wrong. Ireland have had a settled team for too long and seem to have stopped making progress. Couple that with some of their core players not performing, possible team bonding issues (probably nonsence but who knows) and it's a great recipe not to play well. Wales, Scotland and Italy have performed about as well as i expected given their recent form. The other aspect is also that some of the poor performances were due to the opposition. [/QUOTE]
