Bizarre. Feel for Wales. And the French...I could think of a suitable word for them... c*****.....

The second letter there is an 'h' ... :ph34r:

Really poor performance so far. 4 points down with 14 minutes, need a score desperately. We've barely had any possession.

Can't win them all, been on a great run and the conditions didn't help the style of rugby we play. Ireland deserved to win, but we still had a great few seasons.

Losing might sharpen the minds a little so not the end of the world.

Something needs to, as they were completely outplayed today. Irish possession around 75% last time I checked, which say rather a lot about which side showed up today. Complacency maybe? Fair play Ireland, who were first to everything and far more intelligent with their use of it, but this looked like a return to the bad old days of England disappearing without a trace when visiting one of the Celtic nations on one of their good days. Jones will know better than anyone that we won the league despite playing poorly four times out of five.

Great game of test rugby. Well played by Ireland, more of what I expected at the beginning of the tournament... did not think that England played there best, nerves maybe?

England have had a good streak. It is a very difficult thing to win a grand slam, least of all two in a row. They deserve their championship, and Ireland deserve that win.

The late Daly try in Cardiff prevented 5 teams being locked on 3 wins apiece.

Only away win in a game that didn't involve Italy.

They'll love him down in The Shed if he brings even a modicum of success. Proper union town, is Gloucester.

With all due deference to the East Midlands, the South West is probably the 15 man code's heartland in England.

Regionally stereotyping though I am, they do have a low BS threshold down there though, so he might want to keep a lid on some of the more on the nose "I owe it all the the grace of God" public pronouncements.
