Well done Ireland completely outplayed Wales. Superb display.

Shocker from Wales. Murray & Sexton superb.

Fair play to Schmidt - did his homework and worked Wales out (not difficult, of course). No Plan B, again, for Wales and our discipline was dreadful.

Well done Ireland.

Anyone watching Scotland v England. So far the score is Scotland 0, England 13, Nematodes 33.

It's a white wash

The Murrayfield pitch is a disgrace. Thought England played pretty well.
Couldn't understand why Scotland took Denton off - he was their best ball-carrier by far!
Now on my 3rd match of the day, watching Munster v Cardiff Blues.... Phew, I'll be Rugby'd out!!

Unfortunately the Wales / Ireland outcome was very predictable. Just like the domestic league, no plan B never mind plan C or D, poor handling skills and kicking the play away. Unless Gatland changes things up I can see a loss for Wales against French and the English.
I'd right the 6 nations off now and let some of the younger players in before next years World Cup.
Drop Philips, Priestland and Gethin Jenkins. Maybe Halfpenny too, maybe.

BT Bob

That's more like it!!!
Much better performance from Wales. Neutralise Picamoles, Fofana & Basteraud and France have nothing.
Our front-5 really stepped up - probably because they'd all had a major bollocking, but whatever Gatland said, worked!!
Now, here's a weird thing, we have to shout for England tomorrow to beat Ireland and the Champonship is still on for us!

Much much better performance from Wales. France looked rudderless and when things get bad the French do have a history of imploding through poor discipline.

But that game at Twickenham this afternoon. Brilliant to watch as a neutral. Best game of the Championship without a doubt.

Now if only the English had a tidy Anthem and could learn the words to more songs than Sweet Chariot. Twickers will never ever sound like the Millenium Stadium even with the roof open.

Another 2 tense games today - great to watch as a "semi-neutral"....

It was looking like the England/Ireland match was going to end in a draw for a while which may have been even better for Wales. I still think England need to find a better 10 - Farrell's a liability at times.
Good to see Scotland score a couple  of tries (finally), but had to feel for Italy - they must be gutted that today's the day Duncan Weir decides to play some half-decent rugby!

I missed the game, I fell asleep in the first 5 minutes and woke when Mike Brown was being interviewed. 3 points for the whole of the first half sounds quite dull.
Quite enjoyed the Italy v Scotland game tho, really though Italy had it sown up.
This is going to be a really interesting 6 nations.
