Getting absolutely pumped.

So many handling errors. Utter ****e.

[Irishnev]

That’s the 6 Nations for you, form goes out the window. IRL games and us tomorrow meant I didn’t see the Scots as was building a play house for the kids. Came in and couldn’t believe the score - looking forward to the highlights later.

Wales now have a shot at it with so many players to return also.

[Irishnev]

Very lax from Ireland, should've been out of sight and bottled it. Raging here now

Nearly 40 phases

Take it back - yeeeeeeeees

In fairness that was absolutely brilliant.

France showed incredible discipline and defence so that's harsh on them. But Ireland deserved it overall of course.

[labourRed]

I had to rewind to see if that was a HIA. Was it ****.

My kids left the room and my Mrs is still glaring at me for what I said very politically incorrect. Deserved it but we’re casual - a massive shot in the arm that though.

3 home games in a row now starting with Italy

[Buzzo]

Yeah that was some last move by Ireland.

France must be kicking themselves though, if they had kicked reasonably simple penalty before that they win the game.

Away wins are massive in the 6N where home advantage counts, so that is a real marker for Ireland if they want a Slam.

I cant stand Sexton, but he was great today. That drop goal was huge.

Sexton missed an easier kick earlier - we were in so much control but didn't score. Rotate vs Italy and 3 weeks to recover for the Wales game.

James Ryan was immense.

[Buzzo]

Yeah I saw that one, was quite surprised he missed it.

That was before the French try though, the pen the French guy missed was pretty much to close out the game. It was a pressure kick and a bad miss.

Fancy you lot to go for a Slam.Though it’s an open tournament same as last year where any team has the capability of causing an upset. Home matches a re key.

With the exception of Italy on any given day anyone can beat anyone but England at home are pretty formidable.

Who next for ye? Home to France?

Yep, France at home on Sunday.

Finn Russell and Ali Price were poor today, first bad game I’ve seen from the pair of them. Trying to force the game which meant we turned over a lot of ball.

We moved Huw Jones to 12 and played Chris Harris at 13. Jones has been sensational for us at 13 (he was still good today) but Harris was ****. We should have started with Horne and we missed Dunbar.

It was a bad performance for us but I don’t think we’ve become a bad team so will be interested to see how we go on Sunday.

We knocked the stuffing out of them and softened them up for you

[Rigadon]

Wales played very well for an inexperienced side. Scotland were very poor.

No disrespect to Scotland, but it will be a massive step up in class for Wales at Twickenham next week. It's always David and Goliath when Wales play England (England are the Man Utd of the rugby world ).
