I would prefer to see a split race with say 2-30 lapsraces, with a reverse grid for the 2nd race, i.e. the winner of the 1st race starts at the rear of the grid and gains points for cars overtaken in the 2nd race.

Maybe we see some much needed overtaking. what do you think?

Our aim is to support the return to Liverpool of the “Royal Iris”, which is at present languishing in an extremely poor condition on the banks of the River Thames at Woolwich.

She appears to have been abandoned by her present owner and left to her own fate, which almost resulted in her sinking to the bottom of the Thames: she had been taking on water at every high tide and eventually lost her buoyancy.

Thankfully she has been patched up and made relatively safe, but it is only a matter of time before she sinks forever unless she can be renovated and brought back home. Mr Jegede, please make contact through our Facebook site, or any other way you may choose, and lets save this much loved ship from her inevitable fate

With regards to the new models, I am not sure what to think at the moment, what about you?

England have beaten Wales and Italy in their Six Nations matches so far, but it has not saved them from criticism.

After England’s 17-12 win in Rome, Bennett told Scrum V: “They are not a great side and they lack confidence.”

England have beaten Wales and Italy in their Six Nations matches so far, but it has not saved them from criticism.

After England’s 17-12 win in Rome, Bennett told Scrum V: “They are not a great side and they lack confidence.”

“They don’t seem to know what plan to play. I don’t think they will be Grand Slam champions – I think Ireland will go to Twickenham and probably beat them.”

Former Wales captain Mike Hall, meanwhile, branded England as “boring” and accused England the coaching staff of failing to get the best out of their players.

Although Wales were beaten 30-17 at Twickenham in their Six Nations opener, Hall insisted they were the only team trying to play expansive rugby.

He said: “Against Wales, Jonny Wilkinson passed the ball five times and Matthew Tait had it in his hands twice, maybe three times. At least Wales were throwing the ball around.

“It is very frustrating to watch England and they are not going to beat France and Ireland playing that style of rugby. ”

Following their 17-12 win in Italy on Sunday, England manager Martin Johnson admitted his side were not at their best and expressed disappointment at their failure to take chances to put the game out of the home side’s reach.

“I am happy to win but the guys knew they could have done better,” said Johnson.

England next face Ireland at home on 27 February, while Wales play host to title favourites France the previous evening.

First-half tries by William Servat – his second for his country – and Yannick Jauzion – his 19th in his 65th test – and a second-half one from Clement Poitrenaud – his sixth – [...]]]> France shattered Ireland’s dreams of a repeat of their Six Nations Grand Slam here yesterday beating them 33-10 with scrum-half Morgan Parra who had accused the Irish of being cheats earlier in the week masterminding the defeat.

First-half tries by William Servat – his second for his country – and Yannick Jauzion – his 19th in his 65th test – and a second-half one from Clement Poitrenaud – his sixth – with Parra chipping in with 15 points saw France easily see off a rather flat Irish team.

Ireland – winless here since 2000 – managed one try through David Wallace while Ronan O’Gara kicked the rest of their points.

The Irish camped themselves in the French half for the first 10 minutes but some sterling defence by France kept them at bay.

The French were not faring very well in the lineouts as they lost three in a row on their throw and it was from the third one the Irish came desperately close to scoring the opening try as Brian O’Driscoll broke through, chipped over Poitrenaud and raced for the line.

However, 31-year-old O’Driscoll having outpaced Poitrenaud didn’t get the bounce of the ball and it was ruled a dead ball when it hit the post.

That led to two disastrous minutes for the Irish as Imanol Harinordoquy set up a great move that culminated in Cian Healy tackling Parra who didn’t have the ball and referee Wayne Barnes flourished the yellow card without hesitation – Parra slotted over the penalty to give the hosts a barely-deserved lead.

Ireland hooker Jerry Flannery was fortunate not to join Healy on the sidelines as his leg connected with Six Nations debutant Alexis Palisson laying him out – Barnes opted to give him the benefit of the doubt and just awarded a penalty to France.

Palisson, though, had played to limp off clutching his right thigh to be replaced by Julien Malzieu
