It's great to see Ireland blooding homegrown talent like O'Stander and O'Strauss.

Your lot keep stealing their top sportsmen for your Cricket team.

Funniest thing for me in whole game was Keith Wood calling for citings etc. After he tried to condone Healy stamping on Cole at a ruck

lloyd

Missed that, For the push on Sexton?

That Dylan Hartley seems a fine example of Englishness

Yup, England U16, U18 and U20.

Any more strawberries you'd like me to piss on?

Anthem rant #520

Ireland, England and Scotland. Horrendous dirges (GSTQ aslo has particularly inappropriare words for a team sport).

Wales, Italy and France- sensational anthems, France in particular.

lloyd

I like Flower of Scotland. The other two I agree, are shit.

lloyd

Terrible from Davies.

We're all offside there

Seriously, None of the 6 nations sides are saints when it comes to picking players on residency. Yea the English aren't the worst offenders by any stretch but with the population of players you have you shouldn't be either. If you want to highlight a really bad example I'd say Micheal Bent for Ireland is the worst, walked off the plane into the Irish training camp. Didn't even play for the province. Thought that was wrong myself.

As for the anthems, I quiet like Irelands call 

:-O

Davies doesn't know the laws....

Every country does it.

Nicely worked try from Scotland. Wales not aggressive enough in the tackle.

lloyd

I hate kicking turnover ball.

Clancy is ruining this.

2 unpinged collaped mauls by Wales
2 clear scrum pens
And missed Davies offside for Welsh try.

Davies was onside-I thought he was off but the lines in the pitch say otherwise. First maul agree, not sure on the second. Scrums-pass!

Gassage

He has to behind the gain line, not level.

lloyd

Scotland look much better than Wales. Our back line have rapist hands, fucking embarrassing stuff.
