England have been using it since the days of exiled Russian Princes.

Patchell is absolute class and an all round good guy from what I've seen of him. Glad he's having well earned success in NZ.
To be fair to the Scarlets, wasn't it injuries that kept him out of contention?

Good luck to Ospreys tonight.

A fit Patchel back in the Wales team would be great next season.

Reports up here suggest it was the at the house of his ex wife. That’s after getting his mouth burst by his brother at Hogmanay. He got pelters at the game last week when they stuck him on the big screen.

Not that I feel much sympathy for him, but he sounds like he needs some help.

He's always been like that. Only half the shenanigans have made the papers.

Allegedly.

Agreed. He was at school with my kids and co-starred(?) with my daughter in the chapel nativity play. Patch firing on all cylinders would be a shoe in to the Welsh side atm.

Hopefully a year in NZ, then a place back in Europe.... Actually just checked he is 3 caps short so would need to go back to Wales...which is an arse....

That would be the end of the six nations as a credible tournament.

Just rename it The 6. More accurate

I think Gatland wants to be sacked!!

Elias wants shooting into the sun and North has been one of our best performers!!

Wales: Winnett; Adams, Roberts, Watkin, Dyer; Costelow, Tomos Williams; Thomas, Elias, Assiratti, Rowlands, Beard, D Jenkins (capt), Reffell, Wainwright.

Replacements: Dee, Domachowski, Lewis, Martin, Mann, Davies, Lloyd, Grady.

it’s certainly an odd selection. When Elias had been playing the line out has been consistently poor, and I’m not sure what we’re going to learn about Watkin that his first 37 bang average Wales caps haven’t already shown us.

apparently neither north or Tompkins are injured so all very strange

This is well worth a watch...right to the end...one laugh out loud moment about Cai Evans' mum and then a serious bit at the end about lack of investment in Welsh rugby.

Not sure what Steward has done to piss off Borthwick, but I would have thought he’d be in the team v Ireland - not even on the bench.   Still, Waboso starts, and we lose a flanker to add a line out challenge.

I can’t help thinking that Borthwick wants to repeat the line out disruption that troubled Ireland before, but has forgotten about all other aspects of their game….

On the plus side, Danny Care gets to 100 caps 👏

Wow the third quarter has had so much drama - anything could happen from here. Great for the neutral 😀
C'mon Italy!

Well deserved by Italy. If they'd lost at the end after drawing due to hitting the post in their game against France that would have been too cruel.

We deserved that, amazing for 40 mins every game this 6n, fast asleep for 40. Sooner or later we were going to get punished for it. Oh well, c’mon the Irish!

We'll be happy to win something.

Is fitness an issue with Scotland? World choking champions at the moment.

AA, with the exception of Finn, mental toughness is the problem.

Mixed feelings in the Wee household. The Italian half is very happy. The Scottish half is kind of happy to see Italy finally starting to fulfil their potential but gutted it had to be against Scotland.

You think? I only saw the last 15mins today but certainly V France Finn lead the charge in stopping playing.

FFS we have just turned down an easier penalty then had a go at a harder one.  Ford is not a great goal kicker at international level.  Probably the best 30 minutes of rugby from us for a while other than that.

Furbank showing international immaturity and slippery hands again though.   I suspect Borthers is hoping he’ll grow into it.   Certainly looks a better set of backs than we’ve had for years, if everything clicks this team could grow.

we won’t be winning tonight though, that was never in doubt.

Had to catch Ireland on a bad day. And it was a very bad day. Well done England. They deserved that today.

Brilliant! If they'd kicked better could have won by 10 even. Did not see that happening in a year of sundays

Well, well, well. 2 good games for the neutral today. I thought England had blown their chances with that poor kick from Daly and 100 cap Danny Care gifting the ball away.
Marcus Smith and that Welsh lad looked good 😉

Is there a more boring man on the planet than Jonny Wilkinson?
