Sometimes it would be nice to go back to the good old days and let them throw a few punches to get it out of their system!!! ????

Is Sinkler still concussed?
Seems to have lacked any energy all day, scrums excepted.

Rubbish from England. Credit to the French for a fantastic first half display.

Thank god Genge bought a bit of nasty into the pack!
Stuart has been good for Bath this season, so it’d be interesting to see how how would do if required at tighthead

Scotland mugged by Ireland imo, a few real key penalties conceded in Ireland's 22 which were debatable. That is definitely a game that got away. Gutted.

England were terrible BUT they still stayed in the hunt with a couple of tries. It’s not all doom and gloom.

England always seem to have a poor 6 Nations after the world cup. That said, this is where we should start planning for the next one. Few players needed putting out to pasture but we are sticking with the same old group. No excuse for not picking a recognised number 8 especially with a couple playing so well in the premiership.
France already reaping the benefits of getting Sean Edwards on board. Defence so much stronger than it has been in previous years and stopped England getting any ball moving forward.
As a I mentioned earlier, Scotland should have won that one, we will see how Farrell does going forward but not convinced that he was the right choice.
Did not see much of the Wales match so cannot say whether that was a good Wales performance or a poor Italian one. On a similar subject, it really is time to reassess Italy's place in the tournament. No wins in years and no real signs of improvement after over a decade in the tournament. Maybe time to give another team a chance or put it back to 5 Nations to relieve some of the ever growing pressure on the players through the season.

France have nearly always had a great set of players...
Just lacking in management/direction...
They seem to have addressed that shortcoming...

What are lob kicks about? They just seem an easy way to give away possession to me.

It's a risky tactic, trying to get the opposition to foul (eg knock-on)
Or to hopefully allow your forwards to get there first.
England didn't get any noticeable benefits from this.
Very poor first half, but some positive signs in the second.
Keep the faith ??

I rarely see an advantage from a lob kick, the ball is falling in the direction of the other side and away from your players, the fact that it travels a short distance makes it a rubbish decision to use.
