This successful streak generates expectations for the Six Nations. However, are the English the clear favorites for the championship?\n\nThe analysis suggests that, while England’s performance was exceptional, France should not be underestimated, as they demonstrated their power against Australia. With players of the caliber of Louis Bielle-Biarrey and the imminent return of Antoine Dupont, France could be the team to beat.\n\n\n

Argentina no estuvo conforme con una entrada de Tom Curry sobre Juan Cruz Mallia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nA late tackle by Tom Curry on Juan Cruz Mallia sparked controversy and the anger of the Argentine coach, Felipe Contepomi, who called him a “bully”. The incident generated a debate about the limits of the game and the conduct of the players.\n\nThe analysis suggests that, while Curry’s action was at the limit, he cannot be considered a malicious player. Curry is known for his dedication and passion on the field, but not for being a player who intentionally seeks to hurt his rivals.\n\n\n

Curry is not a bully. He plays at the limit, frequently putting his body in the background.<\/p>\n \n Tom Hamilton<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
