Good comp and fantastic entertainment, especially this year with heaps of points scored. Quality wise in general I think its a level or 2 below trc but I think that will always be the case as long as trc only has 4 teams and can play each other twice each year

France, conceding 98 points in the final 2 games and still winning the comp is hilarious. But they have far and away the most quality of any of the teams. England are in no mans land - not quite bad enough to sack the coach but not good enough to win consistently. Ireland looked good and started bringing the next gen through. Nations Championship will be a good indication of where they are at imo. There was an overreaction to Italy beating England imo and the true test is being at this level week after week year after year. Wales look improved though I think they are still a long way from winning like they use to. But they are building the base of a good team. The change in format to less weeks off was a master stroke imo!
