Be a few coming here with the rule changes being made too. Each club gonna be allowed one or two "star" players outside the salary cap last I heard of the "salary cap" rules, not sure what finally got agreed.

Also seems to have gone very quiet on the couple of clubs reportedly (lol) in breach of the cap this year

Already allowed one marquee player, will go up to 2 next season plus salary cap increase.

I agree, it has gone very quiet on the breaches but I hear that Bath are having an end of season clearout 😉

Ireland were the better side even if it seemed the ref was a bit whistle happy against England at the breakdown. Not sure any of the six nation sides look capable of competing for the world cup on current form

And even more odd if it comes off cheering for a Scotiah one too

Actually think scotland deserve a result. Deserved to win the first 2 matches but were poor yesterday. Their only chance of a win is that last game

Unfortunately we have our 2 hardest fixtures of the 6 nations coming up and now trying to avoid the wooden spoon. It's been a bad weekend on the rugby front.

Joe Schmidt is a very clever man when it comes tactics, I think he figured a way to beat England today, this Irish team is capable of changing style to beat teams, like they did in the autumn series

So Warburton is in the bin for 10...
But by the time the penalty is taken and the game restarted that 10 mins is down to 8.20.
Almost exclusively a penalty results from someone going in the bin.
It would make more sense to start the 10 minutes from either the restart, if a kick at goal is the result, or when the penalty is taken ie a kick to touch or tap and go...

Another great game, what a championship so far.
I have a feeling that Scotland will get a bit of a hiding from England, the English pack is just too powerful.
It's about time your boys stepped up to the plate and at least show a bit of passion which has been lacking this year.

Our defence was immense against Ireland and they needed to be. Great game.

First two games they played well and were unlucky to lose.
Poor finish to the Italian game [I know cos I wos there!]

Building up a decent squad for the World Cup.

I really don't think passion is the problem, just giving away too many penalties [as usual]
