 follow those games 21th of march [tv2 france and Eurosport2]


Italy - France

England - Scotland

Welsh - Irland


t is increasingly likely that this Six Nations title will be won by a hunched bloke sitting in the stand, eyes trained on a monitor.


Last year, Wales won a grand slam not so much because they played their opponents off the park, but because they stopped them crossing their try-line. Full stop. Shaun Edwards's mean machine coughed up only two tries in five matches and it made all the difference.


This season is shaping up similarly. The most striking memory of Paris, at least to the television viewer, was the blue midfield blitz that gave Wales no room whatsoever on the few occasions they escaped the clutches of an outstanding French back row.


Italy have managed only one try so far this tournament, in the form of Mirco Bergamasco's consolation effort against England, who are yet to concede a try with 15 men on the field. It is tight out there, too tight.


Is this something to be concerned about? Tries, after all, are not the be-all and end-all of a good game of rugby.


Congratulations to Wales on their World Cup Sevens win in Dubai. In theory, it could be the sort of shock result that persuades the International Olympic Committee that sevens is a spectator-friendly, worthwhile addition to the Olympic schedule. There is only one snag: if it does get the Games nod, it would have to be a Team GB squad, wouldn't it? Making a Lions Test XV is hard enough, let alone squeezing into a "Best of British VII".
