it was just our day. kicked our points. we have so many narrow last-gasp defeats over the last few seasons.....we were due one.
Ireland reminded me of Scotland in attack. No cutting edge. Always finding the man instead of the gap. O'driscoll is still a great player but he has lost more than a yard of pace and it shows.
England are the best side in the 6 nations but I predict the France will beat them because the French are unpredictable??? A bit like Paul Merson when he talked about Arsenal's unbelievable belief.

can see at least 8 English players in a Lions XV if I was picking today
possibly. possibly not. a Lions XV has a different dynamic to a national XV and despite someone being good for their country doesn't mean that will translate into a Lions team. I could see a few Scots and Welsh in a starting Lions XV but perhaps less Irish than would have been predicted at the start of the 6N.

Maybe. The thing about this English side (compared to previously when they were heavily reliant on Johnson and Wilko) is that there are few genuine stars, but they play magnificently well as a team. very strong. very professional.
Take that in a different context with a different coach, it may not work as well.
That said, there aren't many decent candidates from the other home nations. Sad to say, I wouldn't have any Scots in the XV on current form. 6 or 7 to make the plane, though.

England, Wales and Scotland for me.
Well France turned up to play although I didn't understand some of the substitutions. Well done England, can't see anything stopping a Grand Slam now.
Lovely try from Fofana
I could live without Woodward's commentary though
france 5 england 5
Are you watching the women's game dude? I've caught the last few minutes and it's pretty entertaining
well i would be if the Feed didn't stop cutting out!
philipe saint-andre was RAGING earlier, huh?
I didn't see the after match stuff, but surely some of the blame has to lie with PSA's substitutions?
Oops, double post
oops meant castaignede. he was getting bullied in the studio!
My vibe is a Scotland defeat today. hope i'm wrong
i predict that Scotland will touch the ball at some stage.
Are Scotland playing better with 14?
How can anyone want to bully Thomas, he's gorgeous
I think our players were out on the town last night by the nick of them.
this is ridiculous
Yay, well done Scotland!
Wonder what goes on in O'Gara's head?
Well done Scotland
I didn't see a lot of the game, how did Scotland win?
I think the question should be, how did ireland lose?

It's Flakey Freddie and reluctantly I agree with you FB
