[Kermit power]

Right... hands up anyone else who selected the French ten as their Fantasy League kicker, not realising that their nine does their kicking!

Stupid bloody French!

Yes. I'd like to see the stats for possession.

21%

Thanks. That's remarkable, although not surprising.

Wales pushing a bit more. Just a converted try away. Ireland are not home. Seven minutes means the next score is critical.

[Derek Smith]

One thing which it irritating me is the number of appeals to the ref by the players. Both sides guilty.

[Derek Smith]

Big penalty

[Derek Smith]

Wow! That's livened things up a bit.

[snake_oil]

Blimey. Kudos Scott Williams. Took out the defence there with that offload.

[jmorgan]

Wales will make another mistake. Its what they are good at.

Edit. Told ya.

they had to take the risks.

Exciting match in the last quarter.

[snake_oil]

Well we went down trying. Unbelievable pen in the scrum there before the Wales try, hope that doesn't get brushed under the carpet.

[NRS]

Well done to Ireland, although disappointed with the result,

[Leins]

Great game, albeit with some fairly shocking refereeing moments

Delighted with the performances of the younger players like Farrell, Stockdale and Porter

[Welshbeef]

Disappointing we went alll or bust as in lost the crucial 1 BP in the table.

Oh well given we hardly touched the ball for what 45mins to play away and get that a thriller none the less


Now England v the jocks. (As a Celt I have to support Scotland so COME ON SCOTLAND)

Indeed however lucky for the Irish misses it would have been bigger score for the Irish. When they play well, they are on top form but once the mistakes come in, they seem unable to come away from them. I really think that they need to put them up in Granny Grimms B+B training and on tour unless they deliver.

[Derek Smith]

I enjoyed that. The Irish possession was unbelievable, as was their inability to capitalise on it. I thought the Welsh were done for at one time, but the changes seemed to work. The Irish were tired but Stockdale had some running in him. His intent was to tackle the receiver as he took the ball but saw the weakness of the pass. The Welsh had a player over.

[spikeyhead]

Entertaining match, let's hope that England Scotland is as good.

[Derek Smith]

So what are the odds for a spiky first 15 mins?

Are they longer or shorter than the odds for a spiky first 80 mins.

[dom9]

Thought Wales did well with what little possession they had and the 2nd half was a cracker!

COME ON ENGLAND!!!

Faz already fighting in the tunnel... Classic OF

[JonChalk]

Have a bad feeling about this.

The curiously-absent-until-now Scotland who gave NZ a run for their money seem to have turned up today.

How'd you feel now?

[Derek Smith]

It's not a harsh penalty. It's in the laws. The harshness is the fact that few refs bother.
