To be fair, the French try wasn’t a try. Bloody Walsh again. “Oh look, they could ground the ball against the post”. So he wants to award the try because it’s a bit unusual and he likes to show that he knows the rules.
On balance Ireland deserved to win, France were just too imprecise.
I imagine Jonny Sexton will wake up with a bit of headache after that.
BOD epitome of a true sportsman!
Will be missed.
That French penalty effort was just dire!
Loved the whole tournament.
Here’s to England’s second row being the best in the world!
Wow. That was sport at its most compelling. Huge congrats to Ireland, well played France and a fond farewell to one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. What a way to finish.
Great sporting gesture from Dimitri S as Sexton was carried off.POSTED 1 HOUR AGO #

team mates at Racing arent they.
Great game seems odd but ireland were bloody lucky that walsh didnt give a pen at last scrum.
Great for BOD thats the way to go out.
I was physically ill watching that game, 2 point leads when you can’t keep possession are horrible. I was so happy when I remembered Madigan was the reserve fly half and not Jackson, the though of Bastareaud running at Jackson had me terrified.
Hangover subsiding, that for me was one of the best 6N’s ever.I think the fact that it was close run to the end made it so good. The final day showed that with three teams in the running for the championship.
My fave game was Italy-Scotland I have never enjoyed a game where I was non partisan so much, both sides really produced good rugby.
Ireland fully deserved the win. I feel sorry for the French as they were hated in their own country despite staying in the race till the end.
I personally think England are not as great as the press think they are (nice to see Lancaster staying humble), but I have hopes that we will continue to improve.
Last year was good, head to head for the Slam in the final match made for an awesome Wales-Emgland game, shame England didn’t really turn up last year.
