Also, couldn't have happened to a nicer group. Warren Gatland was right about Sinckler too. He's a liability in terms of his sheer stupidty at times.

Well don't we love Wales again*. Great win. And no LBP for England.

*At least for a while.

Bit of an exaggeration alright, they came from 7 points down, not 30

My god. Wales thoroughly deserve that victory against England. Eddie's men yet again are well & truly stuffed.

Féckin' lovely.

Logic has no place in the world of sports presenters either.

England far too dependent on kicking being spot on. As we well know, easy to go awry.

I hold my hands up for my stupidity but I didn't see it coming to be honest. I'm delighted Wales proved me wrong.

Fair play to the welsh. Great finish. England seemed to run out of ideas.

It was the proverbial 'game of two halves'. But I could see them winning even before they got their first try : they were putting Eng under ferocious pressure and looked like they had a try or two in them

Ireland will love playing in that environment though, everyone expecting the home team to win

It's great for our WC chances btw that Wales and England are making loads of headlines and we're nearly being forgotten

It will be a fantastic finishing game for the Irish team. Playing as the spoilers is next best thing if you can't win it from a motivation standpoint.

We could have been looking into a final day with England strolling to a GS but now it will have a bit of drama to it. Nice one.

For some reason I expected Farrell to sound like a poshie. True northern lad!

TBH i dint think many would have backed them today.

Ireland will need three bonus point wins to be in the running at the end really. Tall order

They played very well especially in the 2nd half and truly deserved the win.

Anyone can be beaten on their day. Wales do tend to get better as they go on.

How soon after the game before he is cited for some of his behavior this evening.

Schmidt is OK with top 2, still a possibility.

I love the 6 nations. Best team won on the day, no complaints.

Despite what some people think there is very little between England, Wales and Ireland on any given day, bounce of a ball and all that.

It’s only a game after all!!!!

Aye, but accent a bit incongruous in rugger!

Even if we lose narrowly to the Welsh, it will be no dent at all to our WC aspirations. It's a hell of a strong 6N this year.

The only thing we wouldn't want would be taking a hammering (but I don't see that happening).

Wheres Me Jumper?

how "not so good" does that Welsh win make Ireland look?

Anyone watching this on Rugbypass? The interviewer was shouting into the mic several times that Williams wasn't doing an interview before someone pulled the mic away from her.

Reckon Welsh game will be tight, probably one score in it.

He has a history of saying stupid, and borderline offensive things. Given the age we live in, I'm half surprised he still has a role at the BBC.

Amprodude

Makes the 6n very interesting in the coming weeks. We will have it all to play for against Wales.

We had a bad day at the office. We didn't suddenly become a bad team. We'll be up for the Cardiff game.

Don't think there were any red card worthy offences. Nothing really worth citing, certainly worthy of a yellow.

Exact same here. First time hearing him talk.

Three close teams. England absolutely had to show up in Dublin, they were in desperate need of a scalp and we were not up for it on the day and badly missing a full back given how England went about their game plan.

Williams neutered them today. England are a team that are utterly player dependent, they had been predictable for so long that they caught us a bit on the hop but I still don't rate them under Jones.

Today’ shows how important a full back is in the modern kicking game. Williams was flawless all game.

The most we can finish with is 19 (which is extremely fanciful)

As sure as night follows day England will trounce Scotland and Italy and finish on 20

Be nice to win in Cardiff though for sure.

We always play well in Cardiff.

I wouldn't even be depressed though if we lost narrowly there and Wales won the Grand Slam. It would have zero impact on our WC chances (might even be a bonus in that it takes the pressure off).

Not getting 4 trys against Scotland was the nail in the coffin to Irelands hopes really.

Or LBP at home to England. Taking a hiding like that at home can have no complaints not winning the championship tbf

Looks a bit like England shot their load v us and then v France.

Ireland going to Cardiff and winning will re-establish Ireland’s credentials as number 1 Northern Hemisphere team heading to Japan.

it's a game of 2 halves, but you need a rub of the green, sometimes you dont just get the bounce of the ball, even if you have a never say die attitude and give it 110%

No I'd say England the tournament winners would be number 1 in that scenario
