Our Northern hemisphere cousins also have a tournament going this weekend, but with it being a lesser tournament we thought we’d only give it one common thread for all three matches. 
ITALY 22 – 21 FRANCE
WALES 19 – 13 IRELAND
ENGLAND 22 – 16 SCOTLAND [...]
Only two teams are undefeated and they play each other today. [...]
Finally we have some real rugby going down.
Results:
Wales 19 – 26 England
Italy 11 – 13 Ireland
France 34 – 21 Scotland [...]
The Boks walked away from the year end test matches with 3 wins and a loss.
But how did they really fare taking a few factors into account. [...]
Scotland’s reward for causing the upset of the weekend and beating world champions South Africa 21-17 is a two-place climb to sixth in the latest IRB World Rankings. [...]
The icy wind that blew through Murrayfield Stadium yesterday afternoon – brigning with it lashings of rain that drowned out any hopes of a Springbok victory – may just prove to be the early pre-cursor to the winds of change that must now, surely, bring new life and new direction to the embattled South African side. [...]
In what must be South Africa’s easiest game of the Grand Slam on paper, will not necessarily be a walk in the park following Scotland’s drubbing by the All Blacks, as the Scots will be looking for an improved performance against the World Champions. [...]
For those of you who don’t already know (which is strange, cos I’ve told, like, EVERYONE) I will be attending tomorrow’s test match between the Scots and the Springboks at Murrayfield, as a guest of the Scottish Rugby Union. [...]
Forwards coach Gary Gold said the Springboks were on high alert for a backlash when the team meets Scotland in the third international of the Springboks’ end-of-year tour at Murrayfield, Edinburgh on Saturday. Scotland lost 49-3 to New Zealand on Saturday and their coach, Andy Robinson, has challenged his players to restore national pride against South Africa. [...]
Rory Lawson will come in for the injured Mike Blair as Scotland’s captain and scrumhalf for Saturday’s international against South Africa at Murrayfield. [...]
While I find the Bok team named to play the Scots on Saturday mostly encouraging, it’s the omission of Keegan Daniel that I simply cannot fathom. [...]
The All Blacks have not lost a match on their November northern hemisphere tour since 2002 and despite the progress made by Scotland, the reality is that they are unlikely to stop the New Zealanders’ winning streak on Saturday. [...]
The selectors on Saturday named six uncapped players in a Springbok squad of 30 for their five-match tour of Britain and Ireland next month. [...]
The South African Under 20 side have put Scotland to the sword in emphatic style at the IRB Junior World Championships in Argentina. With fullback Patrick Lambie again leading the scoring, the Baby Boks rompted an 11-try, 73-0 victory. [...]
The Six nations tournament starts this weekend with a full compliment of 3 matches. [...]
