The England performance against France was either because of England being so good or France being so bad. Sadly that performance against Scotland at the weekend proved it was the latter.

My reaction was joy and a little bit of relief to see England not only win in a great stadium away from home in Paris, but the manner of their victory. They played really intelligently and I don't think France were actually in the game.

I'm sure the players, management and fans were disappointed with England's performance on Sunday.

Like everyone else I was very disappointed with the defeat to Wales, especially after the first 40 minutes where England were in such a dominant position. They perhaps could have had more points on the board at half-time but the Welsh did really well to keep England out in the last 10 minutes of the first half.

What we have to keep in mind after this match against Italy is the victory, that is very important. The French team coaches have also seen more new players.

The biggest problem in that match is that England knew our intentions. Against Sotland and Ireland we passed the ball a lot in our 22-metre area, so the English team anticipated our actions. This is exactly what happened on the first try they scored.

Once again we have won our match, we scored four tries and we are topping the rankings. After only two matches I can say it has been a very positive RBS 6 Nations Tournament so far for us.

I am satisfied with the result of the France game. We saw a rejuvenated French side that was enthusiastic, who clearly wanted to play well, developed a great game and enjoyed itself. This is a good sign as the tournament has only just started.

I thought we started relatively well. We were not doing anything major but we were kicking well in the corners and taking our chances, but maybe it changed at the point when Shane Horgan didn't score.

There was a lot of good rugby played this weekend and I enjoyed all three games. We now have two mouth-watering weekends of rugby to come.

I found Ireland?s game with France to be an utterly confusing affair.

First and foremost Saturday provided Ireland with a victory, a place to build from. While the performance was not particularly impressive at least they managed to close out the game and take the win.

My first reaction was positive and a little bit of relief to see Italy pushing the French at the Stade de France in the last 20 minutes.

Italy in the first half lost an opportunity against Wales because these are the kind of games where you have to take your chances and Gonzalo Canale should have added a try before half time but we didn't and I believe the Welsh got away with it.

Italy lost an opportunity against England because these are the kind of games where you have to take your chances when they come to get a result - and we didn't do that.

I'm not happy but I'm comfortable with how we did against Ireland. We did okay considering that it was a new experiment with Andrea Masi and Pietro Travagli. But the two did very well, especially Masi.

Obviously I am delighted with the result but having read the press the focus has been on how unimpressive England were - and to be honest they were not particularly great.

It was another very disappointing performance in many respects, although for the first 20 minutes Scotland dominated the game and did not really let Ireland into the match.

Scotland's performance was marginally better this week - what the Welsh had was a cutting edge, the ability to score from different situations, whereas Scotland could have played three more matches and not got close to the tryline - which was the most disappointing part of the game.

Sunday's performance against the French was very disappointing especially as all the indicators pointed towards Scotland having an advantage - a home crowd - the French with a new team and a new coach, and only a week to prepare.

I'm absolutely thrilled by Wales' victory at Croke Park. It's great to win the Triple Crown, and now we can look forward to potentially another Grand Slam. The omens are really good.

It was great to see Wales make it three wins in three against Italy. Wales played some scintillating rugby, particularly in the second half, and it was an emphatic and comprehensive win.

So, Wales made it two wins out of two against Scotland and I have to say the better side won. Wales were always the team most likely to score, the most threatening when they got the ball.

I knew the new coaching team of Warren Gatland, Shaun Edwards and Rob Howley would make a difference - but what a difference!
