Ooops.
Oh dear..
Zut Alors 😆
Zut Alors 😆
Haha, what did I say?
England to collapse into idiocy!
What the heck.... I doubt Nige will take any nonsense!
Only 42 points needed.

45 - more oops.
Phew (edit :wink:)
This sort of disjointed chuck around is no prep for the World Cup and only favours the French really. All quite entertaining but not sad I gave my seats up.
Legs above head lands on head. Red card all day long!
Lawes is very lucky
At least Nige is calm and in control!
L'implosion by les Blancs so far
Oh god, this is all too tense!!!
The Lawes tackle was right on the borderline. On balance, I think it was over-exuberance rather than malice, and at least he bothered to use his arms unlike most of the south sea islanders. On the flip side, I don't think there could have much complaint if it was a penalty. If it had been given as a penalty, Lawes could have been in the shit as if a tackle like that is deemed foul, it is a sin bin at the least. Very close.
For the record, the frog forwards also did well not to chin him and thus get themselves into bother. It's a massively physical game, aggression plays a big part, switching off that aggression at a stroke is not easy.
Come on England. Let's just stop missing first-up tackles, please.....
It's not Lawes' fault that garcon spun upside down - he needs to start eating properly and lower his centre of gravity.
A try from under your own posts? Even fatty Blanco would appreciate that!
Nigel Owens, I think I love him! 😀
Nige on top form again.
Nige is going up in my estimation here as well. I've always thought he was in the top 25% or so anyway, but he's reffing this excellently up to now.
I think I'll buy Mr Owens' book.
What an afternoon!!
As brian m says! we need ball in hand.
Great climax....
Dwarf love a phlegm spitter, I am surprised
Piggy, I have great respect for Mr Owens, he makes me howl with laughter with his comments & he's (in my opinion) one of the best refs in the world. Plus,his life sounds really interesting.
I think these 30 will be out on their feet after 65 minutes, it's like sevens
Lawes tackled fenchman landed on head. Simple easy clear red
Evidently not 🙂
How the hell is this all going to end!!! Amazing.
I reckon England will get to 50 but not sure if France will reach 30?
If England sort their kick/chase game it would help.
Still think its Irelands tournament, England won't make the points.
Clear turnover to England there....mistake by dear Nige.
I'm pretty sure that Danny Cipriani's England carrer first time around ended with about the same number of charged down kicks that Ford has had!
...and what the hell is the French kicker asiming at?! There's two big white posts there to help him 😀
If by 'Sevens' you mean a complete shambles, then yes.it's like sevens
edit - England will get to 60. French don't tackle!
Fun and games now.
Slow clap for James Haskell.
Haskell is a moron.
Stupid foul that
Discipline and kicking - ouch
Haskell, that was a ****tish move.
Idiot
Haskell.....****ing hell he went to private school man....how can he be so ****ing thick?!
Oh dear oh dear.. A bloody prop!
Wow what a game
That is probably that, now.
Couldn't hit a barn door 🙄
19 minutes to rack up 17 points.. Nah..
BH, classic French rugby just when you don't need it!
Great to see Irish and French backs running off deep lines and at pace. Classic rugby!!
No, not Cipriani??????
Is this the best day of rugby ever??
Crazy crazy game
I give up 😀 madness at Twickenham
How many points have France not kicked? 15?
Mental game.
Who'd have thunked France would score 5 (and counting) tries?
Bet there's a few twitchy plincters in that crowd 😉
Is this the best day of rugby ever??
I don't think we could have asked for more, from all three games.
Can anyone remember such high scoring games on the final day?
"Err, Christopher....."
A ref in control
Lol St Nigel "ChristoPHER!
"Sorry Dad " 😳
I don't think we could have asked for more, from all three games.
Could def have asked for some effort from Scotland.
I don't think we could have asked for more, from all three games.
Agreed. Congrats to Ireland, but also to everyone who has played today for such a spectacle.
Bloody heartbreaking but fun
It's not over yet.
This is mental! Brilliantly mental.
Craaaaazy
/bites nails.
To all the teams today, well played. Best day of rugby I can remember!
Holy Shit!
Nooooooooo!
Phewwwwwwwwww!
Ireland smiling.
Well done Ireland - best team won.
But brilliant from Ireland, Wales and England today. Amazing.
Ireland. What a day, 3 fekking great games.
I'm pissed and happy.
Christ, it couldn't have been closer/more tense.
Wow. 220 points scored today.
Congrats ireland, best team overall I think.
Great to see backs running at pace after weeks of ping pong. What a championship
Well done Ireland - what a cracking 3 games.
Surely that last maul was pulled down on the line?
Yeeeeeeoooooo!!!!!!!' Well done Ireland- Joe Schmidt 2 from 2
Yikes, even I was excited 😆
Well done Ireland. Suddenly the autumn is looking exciting again, for four NH teams anyway. The [i]potential[/i] is now clear.
Not sure there's ever been a last day like that. Thought it was tense last year. 😯
Well done Ireland - best team won.
Really - I'd say there was nothing between Wales, England & Ireland apart from the obvious goal difference.
Proper roller coaster of a day - after thrashing Italy we were in pole position but fair play to Ireland....we are now 3rd 😕
Still stuck where we were though. England show promise, Ireland solid, Wales can play well on their day. None look like SA or NZ beaters atvthe world cup, although home advantage will help England. Wales are screwed if Jarvis is our starting 3 v England.

Haskell.....* hell he went to private school man....how can he be so * thick?!
Yes, Papplewick and Wellington, with such a rugby heritage that was ****ish!
Ireland were able to play a game plan AND adjust and play more open rugby. So yes three close sides, but the best side DID win (IMO).
Roll on the WC - NZ and SA still up there, but three good NH teams will compete hopefully
