Well, we could say that every time England beat us...

of England to ruin what would have been a brilliant (possible Grand Slam deciding) encounter between Wales and France in Cardiff.

I think Walles vs France will still be the decicive match for the championship. Don't know what will be the motivation for Welsh, as there is a step in a Grand Slam or the 6N cup challenge, but for this young blue team, a lot to proove, justifying the choices of the coaches, and a 1st place would definitely be a excellent result.

So I don't expect many players changes for the next 2 matches, Lievremont/N'tamack/Reitiere will probably want to go to the end of their option.

Neither will I take any bet on this match before having first seen the team reaction after this defeat.

Italy, with their also strong/high defense, and their counter attack potential, will be a live test. I don't want to underestimate their strongness, moreover now they have a good example of the way to take.

Already impatient to see if our attack strategy will be the same...
