Well done Italy - as I said a few weeks ago, great that we had a genuine 6N.
My heart is pumping and it's still 30m to go!!!!
Fantastico!
ALLEZ LES BLEUS! 😉
shows how good Italy were against England.
Well done Italy.
Zanni and Paressi outstanding.
Parisse is perhaps the best player in the world today.
Come on beeb who are england playing?
teamhurtmore - MemberMy heart is pumping and it's still 30m to go!!!!
I think I'm just as nervous as I was in 2003 with 10 to go!
Are England playing in blue? Warming up in dark shorts etc. If so, WHY?
Big call Capt F................need to think on that one!
Love the stories of putting the goat and the choirs in the "wrong" places.
Whereas Murrayfields marketing all seems a little contrived, Cardiff is Cardiff, brilliant! That narrow tunnel is a great, intimidating/awe-inspiring place. Volume on full for the anthem! I am fully welsh (not partial) for that minute (thanks Nanny Jones!)
I hope it's a classic and no Ringer moments!!!
I like Justin's jacket - anybody have any ideas where to get something like it?
White shorts. Phew. That purple is still awful, though! 😉
Good luck everyone, hold tight here we go. Lets hope for no serious injuries and a good game.
Some atmosphere
**** me some really pumped up English players...you guys are in for a hell of a game!
My 4yo just sang the anthem for the first time <sniffs>
Massive choir to deafen the English team!! Hilarious! Wales win the anthems
England bench stronger... Could be crucial
Great start! Yes good luck a-a!
Oh goody Ashton is trying to be a flanker for the day.
We're playing this here at Flash Towers...

I'd be hammered by now with 'you think the ref got a decision wrong' 😳
Bloody Ashton!
Blimey, we are getting stuffed up front 🙁
Excellent play from Tipuric there. Goode has been excellent there. Youngs and Marler just aren't strong enough to scrum together.
I'm so tense I have absolutely no idea what is going on!
Brilliant fun so far! Wales deserve the lead.
Can anyone remind me why Ashton is in the squad?
Breathless stuff here!
Ashton? Nike contract stipulation, innit. 😉
Only 1 England player will be able to break this incredible Welsh defense. But he ain't getting the ball!
This is brutal 🙂
Walsh hasn't got a clue Reffing this scrum!
I need a beer and a time to breath.
Time for a quick walk in the garden to calm down. Brutal so far.
Vunipola on. Vunipola penalised. 🙂
Adam and Gethin are taking the English front row to the cleaners!
Steve Walsh vs England Scrum here we go again.
I am still amazed that Walsh is allowed to ref England at all considering his history
Walsh seems to be doing a decent job overall to me.
OI! Not winning and blaming the ref is a wholly owned subsidiary of the WRU!
😉
Nice one
Whoop
It's not walshes fault, Wales are mashing us in the scrum. Deep trouble now!
Need a try v quickly
Shame he missed Pmsl
I'm go a phone my gran see if she will go in the English front row, might do a better job.
I love a drop goal!
DOUBLE POST.
ROUT!
🙂

Brilliant Wales - a total mashing. Outstanding play everywhere.
Awesome Wales
Not sure I can watch any more of this, painful
What a great draw and dummy.
27-3, is that a good score for rugby?
Well played Wales, a proper thrashing.
At this rate there'll be a good score for cricket
Brown showing all the resistance of a swing door.
thought england just had to show up 😀
thought england just had to show up
What are they going to do with all the "Grand Slam Winners 2013" t-shirts?
😉
Well played Wales, pains me to say it but well deserved
England are outclassed today by a far superior team .
Wales have indeed been excellent today. If only the first half against Ireland had been like this!
England look disjointed, confused. There's some real talent there, but it's just not coming together at the moment.
Wales have been excellent.
england hae been ****ing woefull.......truely ****ing terrible.
well done wales, a deserved win.
Cfh. Absolutely right. Hopefully all the young England players will learn from this for the future
Walsh needs to blow up, it's getting embarrassing now. Put England out their misery.
Sorry guys, it's my fault. I fixed our TV reception so this is the first game I have been able to watch and now we loose 🙁 I tried not watching the 2nd half after the Wales try but I just switched back over and it got even worse.
Why Steve? There's time for another try...! 😉
proper mans rugby is on sky sports 2.........see y'all 😉
Is Butler the last of the commentators who is able to remain unbiased despite the joy he must be feeling. One of the old school.
Front three, back row, Roberts and the back three (all men of the match) head a shoulders above the oppo. Painful to watch but great all the same to see Wales play so well!
Thank god it's not 2015
Dropped heads, pained expressions, half arsed running. England have truely given up
wales played with pride......englands minds were on the win bonus.
Much as it pains me to say it, well played Wales. Dominant in every area, although until 60 mins it was more even than you'd think.
As a long term Tigers and England fan, I like Cole, but in the Tigers vs Toulouse game, Guthro Steenkamp (who is far too tall to be a prop) consistently got under him in the scrum. He scrummaged much too high at the start, and once Walsh gets an idea in his head about scrums, it ceases to be a contest.
Even taking this into account, Wales would still have won. Well played.
Right now Scotland, get the finger out and give us a win in Paris.
Fingers crossed.
Amazing what a difference a true 100% effort can make.
Wales 100% England 90%
Best team won. I hope Wales enjoy their championship, it is fully deserved.
£20 to barnados, £10 from a-a, £10 from me.
Despite being English
There's a degree of schadenfreude at the expressions on the English faces, mainly I'm glad I'm not there.
Ouch.
Awesome work Wales, very well done
£20 to barnados, £10 from a-a, £10
how does that work then!!!! I have a DD to them everymonth anyway.
Nice to see Kryton still thinks its Walshes fault England got their arses handed to them in the scrum and a few others think it was lack of England performance. Wales played well experience showed. Roberts, Adam, AW Jones all stood up and showed their class. Crazy England didnt start Vunipola and felt a little sorry for Robshaw, he was a one man back row with Wood out if position and Croft totally ineffective.
Well I'm blown away, that was absolutely fantastic. I don't think I've ever seen Wales boss another big team that effectively.
I think they surprised themselves a bit too, going in with literally nothing to lose but everything to win.
Absolutely amazing match, and one of the most exciting I've seen. It wasn't cut and dried at all until the second try!
Having said that, England did throw a couple of solid gold try opportunities away.
Unreal how one sided Walsh was.......doesn't account for a 4 converted try points difference though 😳
England were shit.
That is all 😥
Unreal how one sided Walsh was
your going to have to explain that one to me.
Oh AA FFS leave it alone.
Well done Wales, outplayed Enfland everywhere, a thoroughly deserved win and score line.
As for Steve Walsh - we struggled with the Wales pack, and struggled again with his biased interpretation of how we play and then an inability to explain which rule we've transgressed. He shouldn't be allowed to ref again until he's changed his bias. He didnt lose us the game, we did, but he didnt help matters.
Mike Browns Wing conceded two tries - how is it STWers can see this issue yet Lancaster can't. Haskell should be out too.
