Scotland have had their win, against a proper side, for the decade, Wales can only beat 14, Ireland have lost twice, so it can only be an England/France winner takes all finale.
...and not for the first time in history the Scot is left with a choice between the Auld Alliance and the Auld Enemy :) For me it would have to be the Auld...

How naive are Fagerson and the Scotland leadership?
He now faces a longer ban than O’Mahoney, because he didn’t plead guilty for the red card element of his hearing.

The authorities were never going to go against the ref’s decision. So why not plead guilty, say sorry and get another week knocked off the ban!

It's just too hard to watch - I'm so close to turning over! England have struggled enough without some French idiot making it even more difficult :mad::mad::mad:

They should have demanded the ball for the restart and kicked to touch ... don’t bother arguing play the game.. if the ref did not let them restart then have the discussion.. but it won’t yield anything as the rugby ref decision is final. Which is correct the only problem is no one likes the English.

True. Feels like we never get the debatable decisions. Welsh have only played 14 men and now they're playing with 16!

Welsh have always got away with dubious play, that’s why beating them is so good. They never win when the ref starts to pull them up

Loved that French referee, he totally got England players rule bending/breaking and questioning/bullying the ref. They have been playing on the edge of the rules for years.
Look at the number of penalties they gave away against Scotland.
Looks like the 6 Nations refs have been told to tighten up.
Such a pathetic load of sour grapes coming from the England squad when their own rule braking was a facture in their defeat.

Well done Wales on winning the Triple Crown.(y):)

There have been no squad members complaining, get a life.

England deserved to lose today, they were dreadful in the second half. That said, shocker from the ref for that first try
But that shocker should not have unsettled them.
They blew hot and cold and the discipline needs to be put back. I know there is an emotion but they should just play the game and keep quiet.
