I’m genuinely worried about this - we’ve normally beaten ye up in the pack but you guys look strong there. Any win will do for me and hope England get a full 80 from their side - they have the physicality to match France

You guys have a chance of winning the 6Ns with a win. I suspect you will be fine. I hope we win, obvs, but at worst a BP loss and then hope we finish above England and then really hope Italy turn up against Wales.

Forza!

Tremendous from Italy!

Scotland started well but they're so scrappy in possession.

A bold move.

Kinghorn has been playing 10 for Edinburgh this season (coached by Mike Blair old Scotland attack coach) and is defo being groomed as a successor.

We absolutely battered Connacht a few weeks ago and Kinghorn was majestic. However this is a bold call.

The other issue, and it is a big one, is Kinghorn doesn’t kick pens for Edinburgh, Boffelli does (Boffelli is immense at them, 8 from 8 vs Connacht from every angle - but that is another story).

I think this selection is with a view to the future, and Russell is on the bench to weave his magic last 20. Out pack looks good… but you lot will still win!

Sounds like he was dropped for discipline issues.

Delighted with the result but a little frustrated by the performance - triple crown is a great achievement though

[Irishnev]

England got close but the French class told in the end - worthy winners

[Buzzo]

Best team won.

Second best team came second.

Everyone else has questions to answer - except Italy! Massive step forward for them, first win on 36 6Ns matches is nearly as big as a slam!

Sounds like he was dropped for discipline issues.

Not sure - Price and Hogg also involved but not dropped. Saying it was for disciplinary probably offer Finn an excise his performances don’t warrant. He’s had a bad 6Ns.

I was catching up on the Ruggers yesterday. That try for Italy was absolutely immense, the guy who made the break is the young guy who came on for a debut vs us and scored 2. well deserved for Italy, a sore one for the Welsh, but after 36 defeats I am just glad it wasn't us they beat first

What an incredible try.

What a moment

Class from Adams, who looked like one of the Wales players who turned up.

Well, who wouldn't give away their MOTM award in a match where Italy beat you!!...Nah, fair ****s to him as Adams made a mockery of the selection process & gave it to those more deserving of it!

[Buzzo]

Ridonculous from Dupont has got the lot.

Pelanties in the Munster v Toulouse 1/4 final. Never watched them live before.

Never want to see them again…..

Never want to see them again…..

I didn’t even know the format.

Nothing in the match. Both teams looked absolutely wrecked at the end.
