Two very tired teams but Scotland defended superbly and fronted up when it mattered. Ireland were v wasteful but probably because Scotland defended so well

Another championship isn’t to be sneezed at - I think POM and probably Conor Murray will bow out now

No idea how many tackles Scotland made but it seemed an awful lot. Some work rate from those lads.


Do think this tournament was the best chance a few countries (other than England with their deserved win) had to get a W over Ireland as even some of the better Irish wins saw a lot of frailties in the Irish set up.

Thankfully there are a lot of good younger players coming through the ranks so come this time next year the Irish team should have a few of them blooded and bedded in.

Might not be a bad thing, time to blood the young guns.

That looked a shocker btw - looked a try for Furlong as he had downward pressure and at worst he got a smash into the head so it should’ve been a pen

I don’t see us winning this the way we are playing

Robbed.

We look so ofc it and Scotland battling hard at the breakdown with Christie playing v well, I think today might be the day Buzzo…. We are sloppy as ****

[Irishnev]

I can tell inside 8 mins that we are **** today, it’s like complacency has drifted into our game recently

[Irishnev]

Ireland gone for the same side vs England but a 5/3 split on the bench

[Buzzo]

Haha. What a pass

A kick up the arse was needed - people getting way ahead of themselves and quite disrespectful I thought. I posted that hit by Genge earlier - it looked a bit reckless

[Buzzo]

This must have been quite motivating. Jamie Heaslip was saying the same.

England have too many class players to be so dismissive of them.

How did this get missed?

Better team won, England deserved it but it stings like hell

The six nations is a ridiculously tough tournament. With Italy being decent now also it’s going to get tougher and tougher.

Away wins are gold.

Last day is looking exciting.

Really impressed by England - I wonder what their tournament might have been like if Marcus Smith had not got injured.

Was that not a very standard 4 or phases and kick it out on 80 scenario?

Thought we should have been capable of going through the phases for a minute.
