  • Urrrgh. Forgetting to update team + loading it up last-minute with Irish forwards didn't quite work out for me there...

    Still shocked by Sunday result. BUT England dominance to points conversion still not good enough.

    IMO Wales lost it in that period just before half-time (controversy aside).

    Italy vs Scotland borefest...

    Very much this. They smashed us all over the park, but still relied on two daft errors from speculative kicks to win. Should've been a 20-30 point game.

  • Not sure about speculative kicks, they were clearly a tactic and well executed, if Sexton had got their first one down safely it would have been a 5 meter scrum for England as he carried it over and the second one was with a penalty advantage. England had dominance and these tries were fair reward for that. If they hadn't been scored in this manner it is fair to assume they would have in another soon after. They lost a bit of motivation once they got to 17-0 up but never looked in danger. It was an impressive display.
