But surely trying to comment on what is going to happen on the day should be based on all the rugby played since the last time two teams met, not what happened in their previous encounter?

Are you suggesting the 30-3 game is more important to focus on in the build up to this weekend that the last three rounds of the 6N, the Autumn Internationals and the form of individual players in a club and international basis? If you are then I don't really agree.
