Kevin and I have just finished watching the downloads (we spent most of yesterday getting the apartment ready to be torn apart so that the leaking pipes can get replaced). A few quick thoughts:

– Ireland looked scrappy beating an under-strength Argentina;

– Scotland needed to put out a full squad to beat Canada;

– Wales went toe-to-toe with the All Blacks for 40 minutes but were unable to raise their game in the second half, so there’s still a way to go for them;

– I wish I could have seen the England – South Africa game.

As for next weekend, I think Wales have a decent shot against the Wallabies, and I hope England manage to get their act together a bit better or the All Blacks might run out of digits on the scoreboard.
