O'Gara took some time to settle down, but when he did, he controlled the Irish attack beautifully. If he can carry that form over to the rest of the tournament, Ireland might just live up to expectations.I didn't see the other matches, but by all accounts England performed better than expected. Was it all Wilko, or has the whole team been rejuvenated by Andy Robinson's departure?How did France look? Will they manage to impose themselves on the stronger teams like they did on Italy? Will they beat Ireland next weekend?</blockquote>
