Hello. I imagine that if you're Welsh, you're getting rather excited. Wins over England and Scotland and - what's this! - a home game against Italy. Hell, once they've stuck 35 points on them today, only Ireland and France stand in the way of a grand slam. It's almost enough to make this Englishman break out into a tuneless chorus of Bread of Heaven. The only trouble is, Wales have beaten Italy only twice in five games, and the way the Italians fought back against - an admittedly listless - England in Rome a fortnight ago means that opening paragraphs full of assumptions can be made to look very foolish indeed come tea time. And don't forget, this has been a Six Nations of comebacks so far: Wales against England, Ireland against France, Italy against England and even Scotland against Wales. So if/when the Welsh romp into a 15-point half-time lead, I won't be taking anything - anything - for granted.
