Early thoughts

OPENING CEREMONY - I have no idea what this was like thanks to lack of coverage in the ITV highlights package. Lots of tongues sticking out by all accounts.

ALL BLACKS - from highlights it looked comfortable enough. Offload city. Scrum looked a bit iffy though.

SCOTLAND & FRANCE - got away with it at the death and neither final score reflected the match overall. France look like a basket case (an accurate reflection of their coach?). And just how good were Japan in the second half?

ENGLAND - phew! In the first half I seriously thought that Bryce Lawrence's wife must have been having an affair with an Englishman! Ben Youngs made the difference, as did Matt Stevens and Le Hask was also excellent. As for the rest...

And what on earth happened to Jonny? If he doesn't make his kicks then what is the point of him exactly?
