10 Things We Learned... from the RBS 6 Nations

1.  None of us should be that confident of a Lions win this summer

2.  Gavin Henson remains some form of curiously orange antichrist

3.  The tournament wasn't of great quality - of 30 halves of rugby, only about 5 were memorable.

4.  Warren Gatland needs to shut his mouth in future

5.  Eddie O'Sullivan wasted five years of Ireland's talent

6.  Martin Johnson looks like he might have some clue what he is doing

7.  Scotland cannot possibly get any worse, then again it doesn't look like they can get any better either.  Time for the fans to accept what they are: a minority interest sport in a nation with a small population

8.  France are no nearer to being something resembling a team than the were two years ago when Marc Lievremont was let out of the asylum to manage them.  I bet Laporte is giggling his arse off in his new plush government office.

9.  Italy are going backwards at an alarming rate, and their only hope appears to be the new academy, whose first attendees are just about to graduate.

10.  It has taken about four days for people and media to start quietly rubbishing Ireland's Grand Slam as being won in a year when everyone else was either inconsistent or garbage.
