Have I missed a thread on this?

Amazing to watch the Irish dismantle and thrash Wales, and very enjoyable for me anyway

Brilliant running rugby, loved it

Now we move on to Scotland vs England

I am a little worried about this game but hope to enjoy a narrow England win

Ben White on for Scotland. Bielsa will be so proud. He made him, you know?

Crap quality so far compared to the earlier game, kick, kick, kick, dull stuff.

Certainly looking like it could be a two horse race. The tournament was being touted as likely to be the most competitive in living memory earlier today though

Debut for England and scoring for Scotland in under 12 months. If ever proof was needed of Bielsa's genius

England and Scotland must now be miles behind the quality of Ireland.

Far less power and pace, creativity, speed of thought, accuracy in execution.

A kick fest.

England in recent years seem to select teams containing many relative youngsters, “building for the future”, never the finished article. Who get bullied by teams who simply choose 15 experienced bruisers.

What a shite game so far. Zero flair from either side. Kicks, penalties and meat head rugby. Rubbish

Too many free kicks for something or the other ruining the game

England dying on their arses instead of putting down a marker. Got to admire the plucky Scots though.

England have done well so far. This Scotland side are formidable at home.

Ludlam and Sinckler have been excellent.

Very early days.

Ireland were impressive but it was more alarming to see Wales struggling without their key players.

France yet to play - their away form is always suspect.

And if England get the win, that's a HUGE boost to their confidence and chances of winning the title. Murrayfield is a very tough place to win with the elements.
