there was an interesting table in yesterday's Irish times which showed the combined results from the four most recent seasons, the top of the table looked something like this, obviously i can't recall a lot of it...
Six Nations 2000-2004
_______Played__Won__Drawn__Lost__
England___25____20____0______5___
France____25____18____0______7___
Ireland____25____18____0______7___
i think this shows that the team has made real progress since we went threw the doldroms where every (five nations) season was a quest not to finish with the wooden spoon.
the south African tour is probably a better chance to show the progression though, it's about time we went and won a tour against a southern hemisphere team.
