FRANCE ON TOP IN PARIS.

After the first round of 'Six Nations' matches we now know that France are the team to beat, with Scotland and England probably the next best.

Ireland struggled in a hard match with Italy and, although they managed a win, they were hardly convincing. France, though, sparkled against the Scots and seemed to have an answer to everything. Their speed was simply too much for an opponent that didn't play badly themselves, but were undone by a handful of errors and a side at the top of their game.

Next weekend we should see England beat Italy, Scotland beat Wales and France destroy Ireland. If all that goes to plan, a fortnight later we'll see the match of the Championship when England take on France at Twickenham. Then we shall see how good England are.
