Well done to Irland this afternoon great game ...and well deserved win!
Wales hit the road running and have been the Team of the Tournament by a Country Mile.....and I hope the Boyos get the Slam!
Scotland showed us again in a one off Game they can upset ANY Appple cart ....(or Charriot  )
England clearly need a re-vamp....and look tired and out of ideas!....maybe a little back to basics philosophy wouldn't do any harm.
A great tournament again ....despite the obvious differences from usuall protocol....hopefully we will soon be back to "some sort of normal normality" nxt season and we can once again enjoy the unencumbered great game..given freely by England...(like soo many others) to the rest of the World...in all its Glory!
Enjoy!...We will be Back!

I haven’t a clue how we won yesterday but a win is a win. I was going to say I felt sorry for the English as they played the better rugby but that’s never going to happen.
Ireland looked like they were on a mission. They played some great rugby.

Yes good games yesterday.
What was Ewels thinking??  - not only leading head first but Ryan had passed the ball. with a man down for the whole game i was surprised it was so close for so long.
My issue with England the present is that I think that Jones is in only interested in the Word Cup every 4 years- he doesn't see the 6 Nations worth winning in itself, just another test ground for his longer term ambitions.
There's certainly little flair to the England game at present.

That Paddy from Paris was a Fith Columnist.....no mistake!...and not for the first time!.
They... The Irish were buckling in the Scrum...and mentally!!
Certainly didn't looked far from potential World beaters!
With nearly ALL the Six Nations capable of winning on any given day,and most games decided by very narrow margins.The immediate loss of any player was always going to weigh heavy on England especially as the game went on.
I for one was heartened by the English spirit displayed....especially by thr younger players which can only pay dividends as time goes on.
The French do look the Team to beat....Seems they've found the missing ingredient
Perhaps Shaun Edwards input as The FRANCE defence coach!  ...will finally be recognised and appreciated by the Old Farts at The RFU!...and we can get him back on the RIGHT side of the Channel in time to impact on the next World Cup...we could always kidnap Him!

I think that was probably correct when the coaches were obsessed by southern hemisphere dominance, .... however with France the way they are .. the old world order could be changing

"Ireland's pack starred as they beat Scotland to clinch their first Triple Crown in four years and ensure the race for the Six Nations title will go down to the tournament's final game.
Andy Farrell's side will be crowned champions if France do not beat England in Paris on Saturday night."
I find myself strangely conflicted

Well, interesting day yesterday.
Best I've ever seen Italy play -surprising but well deserved win in Cardiff.
Didn't see the Ireland Scotland game, but result as I predicted (but not the points spread.
France England - France were at their best, but I though England played a decent 2nd half - still outclassedthough.

The sight of all the fans and players in tears and then Adams handing over his MoTM medal to the Italian fullback was enough to bring a lump to the throat.
The Italians had a pretty good sporting weekend with Ferrari getting a 1 - 2 in F1.

Who could moan about the French Victory?...they've been positive clinical (especially for them) and consistent.
A France side in full flow is sublime and reminds everyone North AND South Hemisphere really how "The Butifull Game" is meant to be played
Home Nations know what they have to do....the hard thing is keeping their top players fit and fresh enough with all the rigours and demands of the Professional Premier League.
Italy certainly seem fired up by all the recent criticism which can only bode well for the future.
All in all another successful and enjoyable Tournament with positives fior all to build on.
Bring on the Southern Hemisphere
