The match between Wales and New Zealand seemed like an action replay of last year's game. Wales had a moment, here and a moment there but against an All Blacks side that still isn't a great one they still shipped 50 points in Cardiff.
I enjoyed the intensity of the Ireland vs South Africa match, particularly the first half. Ireland did well to get to half time at 6 all but they benefited from the Boks' tendency to make scoring tries look like hard work. You can also tell that the Boks have lost a match because the ''TS Analytics'' YouTube channel already has a video up forensically examining the performance of the referee at the Aviva Stadium.
I'm proud of the effort from the Wallabies but not the result in Paris. You can't be proud of losing. Do yourselves a favour and have a look at Lalakai Foketi's try. I have a bias but it's a contender for World Rugby try of the year. Sadly though, France's winning try came from an aimless kick by replacement flyhalf Reece Hodge and some very suspect defence. All in all, the Wallabies exceeded my expectations for their match against the 6Nations champions.
