And the new caps were the best players in the welsh side. Andy Powell was excellent, but he won't get room to dance around like that against the All Black back row. They definitely lacked the killer instinct and need to support the breaks better.

Think England will find this week a lot tougher than last.

Yep it's pretty daunting isn't it but I think SA fielded the best side available to them (it was pretty much full strength) and Wales had 2 new caps and were without their first choice 6,9,12 and 14 so it all even's up. Wales also dominated possesion which stopped SA playing well. Just couldn't covert it to points

Ireland V NZ and England V Australia this weekend so it should be interesting

The worst thing about that first round of matches was the reality that Wales are theoretically the best side in the northern hemisphere and SA were the worst side in this years Tri-Nations. Plus they didn't have a full side out, or play well.

Haha gotta love the Pacific Islanders, the bloody Fijians dumped us out of the world cup but was probably the best match to watch

Nightmare introduction to the game for Hook, Gatland didn't have enough prep time to show the video of, Jean de Villiers being a specialist at intercepting passes because of the player release issues with the regions which could of saved the day

You guys have NZ tomorrow, good luck mate, I'll be backing the mighty Irish, Celtic cousins and all that!

Will be a steam roll I think, James Hook how could he? Ireland wasn't worth watching even though im irish, England was a good match just to see Samoens cross kicking in their own 22

AXEMEN.

Those storms in last nights episode ravaged the hillside of Oregon ....it makes you wonder why they don't selectively fell trees as oposed to clear felling hillsides...no wonder they get so many mud slides, flood events. A cracking episode.

they didn't actually say who was funding it, or if they did, i missed it to!

need to head to the south bank to see Volume too (40+ columns covered in LEDs that change color in reaction to peoples movements) - even if its just to see people being 'drawn to the light!'

Saw the Light show last night - thats one Hell of a big project - especially in the Crater - who was funding it? US tax payers (missed the bit on who funded it!!)

Couldn't quite fathom it out as had the volume down low, but the power of the light was amazing....as for turning the sky upside down, that blew my mind.
