Why shouldn't Wales be arrogant?

We're off to the best possible start although it's perhaps a little early to be thinking about anything like another Grand Slam.

We were clearly so much better than the Scots so it can only bode well for the rest of the campaign and the game against England tomorrow is already getting the heart pumping.

If we play to our potential and they have as ramshackle a game as they had against the Italians last Saturday we could completely destroy them.

Having said all that, there's still plenty of caution in the air and talk of "not getting carried away too soon".

This is the Welsh way of course, we're not very good at being favourites, it doesn't sit well on our shoulders.

We know that we're the best team in Europe by a distance so it would be nice to see a bit of chest puffing and a touch of arrogance.

I don't buy the fact that you have to earn the right to be arrogant.

Who decides when you can start, what are the criteria, do you have to sit a test?

If any of the others have championship ideas, let's make sure they know that they have to beat us first.

You may have seen pictures of the pie that's been produced in the image of Shane Williams.

It's an idea from Peter's Pies and it will ultimately raise funds for the Toby Lloyd Cockbain Foundation.

However, take a closer and see if you agree if with me that it looks more like the Cuprinol Man than it does the world's finest rugby player.
