Well done Ireland. The very best teams don’t take their foot off the opposition throats which might be a small worry, but looked very, very good for 25 minutes

Sheesh bit of a tough crowd on here. Thoroughly entertaining game, minimal stoppages, pure power and precision from Ireland in the first half, tenacious semi-comeback from Wales in the second. Half decent int rugby is hard to beat as a spectacle

Semi comeback? Semi competitive maybe. It was a paddling and they never got close to worrying Ireland.

I actually got accused of that on the other place. I mean I don’t mind them , but i wouldn’t want to be one.

Why is Smith hanging at the back of so many well resourced rucks?

Always worth a go with a try area the size of the one at Twickenham.

Scotland seem really, really well set-up.

Very happy to being proven wrongly pessimistic at that start of the week, lots of good from the centre pairing (admittedly not Harris, but I would've been equally bleh)

Our kicking has been awful, the only thing putting us under pressure

Case for a yellow there. Very cynically killed England's ball.

Staying on feet at rucks has been optional so far.

It has been poor.

England have had 4/5 guys back for each kick. Game plan seems to be to keep it in play which is a big ask when they are sitting back waiting.

Going to need to run it back every now and then.
