In other news Faletau says he has been seeing the same arm specialist as big Billy... I hope he has better luck that Vunipola and is ready for the RWC!

Whilst I’ll congratulate any winners on saturday, its Grand Slam or nothing for me, bonus points are bollocks in the six nations.

This sums it up.
Ireland's competition was over in the first week when England battered then at home. Since then it's been about building for something else.
Wales still have the biggest prize to play for.
When that happens, it's usually the team with something to play for.

But its a bit ironic that it's the size of that England victory , getting the try bonus point away and leaving Ireland with nothing, that's left Ireland with nothing to play for handing Wales the easiest of slam chances.

I’m not sure I understand this, but if Ireland could just go easy on Wales tomorrow that would be appreciated ; )

Bit disrespectful to Ireland IMO.  Theres a statement to be made for the RWC, I'd want my players knowing they just recently beat Wales if I were Schmidt.

About to watch Italy v France and I don’t know what to expect. Both sides have been better than they’ve been given credit for imho. Think I’ll support Italy, as it would be good to see them win.

Italy haven't won a 6n's game for years!

Two shitty teams. France are causing Italy all sorts of problems at the breakdown though. Italy have zero composure when in a try scoring position. T seems odd that the national team is utter bobbins when the domestic teams are actually playing pretty well at the mo.

Ref is finally calling France on the offside line, they've been offside all game!

Well that was a pretty decent starter. Let us hope the main course delivers as much excitement. Hopefully we will be full afterwards and won't even need pudding 🙂

Is that a broken leg? It looked as though it buckled in a weird way.

Wales tearing into Ireland; they look well up for this and look on course for the GS.

AWJ looked in a lot of pain then.

Looks like Ireland don't want England to win the 6N eh?  What an odd poor performance so far.

Ireland certainly on the wrong end of the ref!!

Ireland will be really regetting the roof decision - three scores down and it's pissing down.

Ireland are really forcing it too - need to reset for 2nd half

Ireland really aren't getting much from the ref.....I've thought a couple of breakdown decisions were wrong. However.....Wales look very good.

Yeah, Ireland must be poor, because Wales are not that good ; )

Still it’s not over yet, great teams can come back from being 16 points down at halftime 😁

I do! 😂

Ireland look properly rattled. A good performance by Wales so far. One hand on the GS.

I think it’s the ref that doesn’t want Eng to win. Some of his decisions are very puzzling

The mail ruck is a mess in the modern game. A return to the good old days of rucking the body out would quicken the ball.

I've said it before but it's worth repeating - the Welsh defence is immense

Navidi excellent, ref one sided, Sexton poor.

Ireland have been absolutely shit so far, crap decisions, giving the ref opportunity to give marginal penalties, crappy execution (free kick 10 yards out becomes a scrum against)

[edit] and that KO just seals it

Looks like Gareth Davies could win a grand slam and get a boll8cking from Gatland!!!

****t! 😂

Finally get into the 22 and Sexton chucks the ball into touch. It’s hard to believe that this is the team who beat the AB’s.

Ireland look absolutely clueless. It’s almost like Wales have an agreement with them “Let us have it this year and we’ll let you win it in Dublin next year”

Very poor Ireland but a very good Wales. They look like a team that have that inner belief and strength. They’ve made more correct decisions at crucial times than any other team.

I’m pleased for Gatland as he’s been outstanding for Wales.

I still don’t like the ABE attitude but I’m not sure the players are that bad.

AWJ is one of the all time greats.

Ireland defeated England after all . Wales don't need to be a good team today .

Ref is aweful .

I've had a shit day all day, and on that basis I'm tempted to rush down to the bookies and stick some money on Scotland .
