The new look French side decimated a lack lustre Scotland today ... many people had written the French side of youngsters off, we caught up with the Stad Coach to see what, as an Englishman, he thought of the weekend:
'Well I am still hurting from the debacle of the Welsh game, I personally thought Ashton should have 'gone' after the World Cup - again his side seemed to lack direction, but this time there were not any of the 'bullish' old veterans to take over on the field, basically we imploded!
Ireland seemed to just carry on from where they left off in the World Cup and were lucky I thought that Italy didn't pull off an upset. The French game ... well I wasn't surprised, we play against these guys week on week and I know their skill and resolve, they will be hard to beat even though the names might be new.'
We asked Jones about his team for Tuesday and he sprung a surprise ...
'Well I'm going to start our star players on the bench ... I think we have the measure of Wasps even without them and to be honest I'd rather make sure they are fit for the far tougher games we are in for in the next month. They'll be on the bench and if Wasps actually manage to make a game of it, they will be on for the second half.'
This may well give Wasps a hope ... we'll wait and see ...

The opening round of Six Nations fixtures certainly didn’t disappoint. We had a tense thriller (Ireland 16 – 11 Italy), a shocking upset (England 19 – 26 Wales) - which must have cost the bookies in Wales a few quid, seen as though the Welsh were massive underdogs and not forgetting that the Taffies like a bit of Rugby Betting UK. Then there were the brave Scots; who went down 27-6 to France. So many parts of Scotland’s game were working well and all three of the French tries came from schoolboy errors by the Scots... I hope their confidence is still in tact because they actually played really well.
