Great game.
Welsh defense won the game.
It was a fantastic performance (by both sides, if I'm honest). The defence by the reds during that 30-phase attack by the Irish, ending in a penalty award to the Welsh was awesome by any measure. Total commitment; total discipline.Welsh defense won the game.
Alun Wyn-Jones should have got MOTM, though.

I worry for Ireland against Wales... I can see Wales turning them over as Ireland get complacent and Wales actually play to their ability. That should be a corker of a game.

ks.t, however his insistance on rolling away in the first half made for some very good rugny in the second half.greygoose said:
I thought Wales were awesome today, especially their defence. England missed so many chances, I dread to think what a Southern Hemisphere team would do to them.
I suspect that they'd play a very different strategy, play like they did against the awesome Wales. Most of our mistakes came from playing far too loose. The strategy was wrong, especially for the twenty minutes before half time.
I thoroughly enjoyed both matches. Forget RWC, the southern hemisphere, other things: were you excited? Were you exhausted after each match? Were they close?
I was shouting at the TV at times.
I don't actually relish those times when a defence is the most remarkable part of a team's game but the Welsh win was well deserved.
The England match was bewildering. Totally dominating play to not doing much of anything, to running the other side ragged, to me wondering if England would lose to a team that probably shouldn't be in the 6N. To still not being able to score when the opposition was out on its feet.
Thrilling.
I've just watched the Australian GP. I paid £7 to watch it. I fell asleep for a few minutes and nothing had changed. So, rugby fans, be happy with a thoroughly entertaining afternoon. It's just a game, or two games, there to entertain. I was exhausted at the end. A really enjoyable afternoon.

Large hangover after a great day of rugby!
Firstly, hats off to both Wales and Ireland; an all time classic. After the first 10 mins I had noticed Wales' had the edge on intensity levels. To keep that intensity for 80 mins made them deserved winners. Irish are the smartest team in the northern hemisphere. Sexton had a rare off day. Wales defence won them the match.
Scotland are always dangerous when they move the ball wide, but lack power.
England: Lawes is world class both defensively and in the lineout. The 3/4 line ripped Scotland to shreds on numerous occasions but some sort of white line fever and a couple of forward passes denied us another 30 points.
Nowel was on fire.

I bet Cardiff is absoulty buzzing today well deserved win role on Italy for the last game. Never thought after the first match we would be in with the chance of the title.
I was there and it was the most intense match I have ever witnessed. Restored my faith in international rugby.Just had a telephone conversation about the matches with a friend.
We saw different aspects of the teams but we were both still a bit excited. He's half Welsh - but a nice bloke. He was going on about turning a corner, and some such rubbish. Not sure that's true, any more than it was before, but they did play well.
I'm half Irish so it was a bit painful. However, we both agreed how much fun the England/Scotland match was.
My son went to the match as a flag bearer and hasn't felt able to answer his phone this morning. But he knows about rugby and I'm looking forward to his opinion.
But it was good to relive the matches.
No point to the post apart from the celebration of a great day's entertainment.
