1/2p is a complete nutter!!
No self preservation instinct with 1/2p!!! I often fear for his safety.
Phillips really can't be the 9 for the Lions!
maybe not but its easy to blame the 9 when the breakdown is going wrong.
Gah, this is unwatchable down here in Oz. Now more like missing every 45 seconds out of every minute 🙁
I'll give it a miss until I can download it, and the Eng game, tomorrow.
Enjoy if you can. Looks like it might get interesting, but can't see beyond a healthy Ireland win here.
One of these days Wales will actually play a full game at their full capability!!
Try
Surely a try?
Or not!!!
No! Wales completely on top though, Ireland playing like Wales in the first half whenthey have the ball. Too many silly errors. Epic defence though 😆
Nope replay clearly showed that it didn't touch the padding
F*** me Faro!!!
Why not put Sexton at scrum half? Surely he can pick a ball up off the floor and come up with a decent box kick?
This is going to be a great finish!
Well played ireland.... Wales you ****ing idiots.... Tips to start v france.
Excellent first half from Ireland loving the width they tried to put on the ball. Poor second half when we took our foot of the gas and stood off Wales too much.
With the exception of Ashton, there's a distinct lack of tries in the England backline.
Dont tell the score in the other game I'm watching it later!!
Christ has Moore brought a ****in thesaurus with him!

Don't look at this thread, then!
Right. Engand thrashing Scotland would go some way to making up for that Welsh first half performance and their subsequent loss.
Also, am I the only one who was disappointed when zokes revealed that his losing 15 seconds out of every minute was the result of his Internet connection? I'd put it down to being an effect of his intoxication!
Good idea!!!
Youngs just isn't strong enough to be an international hooker....he's popped up in nearly every scrum. Get the mental kiwi on asap!
FFS one point in it....we are giving this to the scottylanders. The backs don't want to get tackled. Farrell and Morgan have been the best two with ball in hand ffs!! Get both the Youngs off!!
I am miserable 😥
I'm guessing that Hamilton isn't the first and wont be the last to call Ashton a merchant banker 😆
Christ Farrell was strangling Richie Gray infront of the ref then!!
Oh well try!!! 🙂
What the same Richie gray who was lying over the ball?
Robshaw MOTM for me so far.
Yup.....the ref is free to penalise him though.
Is the Stuart Hogg the best in the world at kicking from hand?
Hogg looks exciting like to see him put under a bit more pressure, but he looks good. Robshaw a far better player than given credit for.
I've never rated Robshaw-today is changing my opinion of him. Farrell has been excellent too.
And like him or loath him Ashton has looked for work and took an opportunity well.

I don't like to say I told you so but.......
Did you see the aerial view of the scrum and see the gaps in the eng front row?
Youngs needs strong scrummagers either side.
Saying that, Murray has popped up loads.
I was saying the same Wrecker----Youngs and Marler can't hold on to eachother in the scrum. It's not like they're up against a top notch front row either.
Back to the game, above all else, forward passes really do wind me up. Blatant forward pass from Youngs to 36 for the try there.....
oh well...... TRY!!
Sharp little try from Ashton, thank goodness he didn't try to swan dive... 😀
That was a beauty of a pass from Farrell
Take a bow owen farrell. Often criticised his passing but that was beautiful!
Good defensive speed from England.
Blatant forward pass from Youngs to 36 for the try there.....
looked level to me.
Good for Scotland. Under the cosh there and then great break away. Much better game tha I expected/ feared.
Fair play to Scotland. They've been outplayed but their determination has really kept the score down. No signs of giving up, vastly improved.
Really good game. England tried to play at pace and mistakes will happen. The passage of play for the scots second try contained some brilliance from both sides.
Both teams played well, lots to improve on but decent play. Not often I can say that about either team!
First trophy of the year for the English lads, hopefully more to come 🙂
An un-England type of game. If they can continue in this style and back themselves to score more than the oppo then they will good to watch and hopefully challenge for the title.
What is apparent though is how both games have had good play from all sides who have threatened. Bodes well for a great six nations.
