England consolidated its winning streak, South Africa demonstrated its power against Ireland, and Wales fought valiantly against New Zealand. But, how to interpret these performances? Are the reactions of the public and experts rational or exaggerated? Below, we explore the key points of this weekend.\n\nHere&#8217;s a breakdown of the most relevant points from the weekend.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1124%2Fr1579996_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Inglaterra vs Argentina\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Inglaterra celebr\u00f3 su und\u00e9cima victoria consecutiva al vencer a Argentina en 2025.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">England: Favorite for the Six Nations?<\/h3>\n\n\nEngland completed a perfect autumn, winning all their matches. This performance has generated high expectations, but should the English be considered the favorites for the Six Nations? The answer, according to our analysts, is cautious.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>England had a fantastic autumn. They have developed depth in the team and have given Steve Borthwick many options to select from. But, favorites for the Six Nations? Let&#8217;s not get ahead of ourselves.<\/p><cite>Expert analysis<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nFrance, with its impressive victory over Australia and the incorporation of new talents, seems to be the rival to beat. The return of Antoine Dupont and a solid performance in the autumn position them as the favorites for the tournament.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1123%2Fr1579639_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Tom Curry\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Argentina no estuvo contenta con el golpe de Tom Curry sobre Juan Cruz Mallia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tom Curry: A &#8220;Bully&#8221; on the Field?<\/h3>\n\n\nA late tackle by Tom Curry on Juan Cruz Mallia, which resulted in a knee injury, generated controversy. The Argentinian coach, Felipe Contepomi, called Curry a &#8220;bully&#8221; after an altercation in the tunnel. However, the opinion of our analysts is different.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Curry plays rugby to the limit, frequently putting his body in the background, and is someone who gives his all. He is not a malicious player, nor a bully.<\/p><cite>Expert analysis<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe analysis suggests that Curry is a player characterized by his dedication and passion, but not by malice.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1124%2Fr1580007_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Gales vs Nueva Zelanda\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Gales vs Nueva Zelanda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wales: Signs of Life<\/h3>\n\n\nDespite the defeat against New Zealand (52-26), Wales showed signs of improvement. For 45 minutes, they competed with the All Blacks, which is positive considering their current situation.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Wales never stopped fighting against the All Blacks and, although the match was lost, they were determined to throw the ball and attack.<\/p><cite>Expert analysis<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nWhile South Africa&#8217;s arrival will be a challenge, Wales shows signs of progress ahead of the Six Nations.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1124%2Fr1579997_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Irlanda vs Sud\u00e1frica\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Irlanda sufri\u00f3 su segunda derrota este oto\u00f1o, esta vez a manos de los Springboks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ireland: In a Slump?<\/h3>\n\n\nIreland suffered a defeat against South Africa, receiving four yellow cards and one red card. Despite this, coach Andy Farrell showed pride in his team&#8217;s reaction.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Ireland is not a bad team overnight, nor over the course of four autumn matches.
