If Italy hang on here Ireland have won the Championship, I think?

Edit - never mind, 2 BP likely for Scotland, at least

Doesn’t come close to the absolute bell ends on commentary on ITV, according to them it was all sewn up in the 44th minute.

To be fair, to me, for a few minutes before Scotland scored the 4th try, I think I was correct. Even losing to England we'd still have been crowned Champions.

Hell of a performance from England. Just so much intensity and a lot more fluidity and accuracy.

But England could have got a try bonus point and won by more than seven leaving Ireland only two points ahead of England regardless of the outcome of the Scotland game, so not close!

Probably could have had a penalty try at the end for the persistent foul play but hey ho.

Clearly it’s about more than one player but I thought Feyi made a huge difference.

The back 3 made 240m with ball in hand, it's been more like 100m in the earlier games

I know it might sound childish, but it was worth losing to Scotland to get this performance and stop Ireland getting the Slam and triple crown

I know people are saying we wasn’t great vrs Scotland, and in fairness we wasn’t, but we hold on to the ball and it becomes a different game. Fine margins

George North retiring from international rugby after the Italy game.
An excellent player for Wales and the Lions.

He was a world class winger, he's not been the same since his run of head injuries a few years back and I've never rated him in the centres.

How bad are Wales? Italy could still finish 3rd if they can get a couple of more tries.
