Very enjoyable game between England and Italy. Some good open rugby from both teams.

Very enjoyable game between England and Ireland. Some good open rugby from both teams.

What sport is that in?

PS - who cut Sleightholme’s hair? Or did he do it himself for a bet?

Its no wonder England are winning with thousands of folk in the team against Italy

@Beezerk @Neilds I've had a mare . They both began with an I

I'm hoping Sleightholme is raising £'s for charity, it can't be a genuine choice. Surely..... On a positive note, he certainly knows how to finish.

Scotland nearly snatching defeat from victory again.
Jeez it is tough being a Scotland supporter.
Nice to see Wales playing open rugby again, it's been a while.

During 2nd half until last 10mins (when we switched back on) I got more and more frustrated watching…was convinced Scotland were somehow going to blow it.

Wales have been awful this 6 nations and it’s now 17 defeats on the bounce

Can't stop laughing. Bbc Wales usually has several rugby based items on the days following the 6 Nations Matches. These will be hilarious or cancelled.

I should have stayed in the clubhouse at lunchtime

And England have improved with every game, unless of course that doesn't bother you?

Im talking about Wales not England ffs

 

[woofers]

Italy v Ireland was more entertaining.
Looking forward to France v Scotland. Would love Scotland to win but that would hand an undeserved 6 Nations title to England.

Scotland 9 should be off for play-acting. No time for that in rugby.

No place in the game for the out and out thuggery the French hooker displayed after the whistle had gone

 

[Bunkermagnet]

France should be down to 14.
Is F Russell the English Cipriani?

 

[BrianM]

France just to good, Scotland have given everything but the gulf is just to big.
France deserve the title this year.

Are refs less hot on that now? Looked pretty dangerous to me but the ref didn't seem overly interested.
