    I seriously rate Tom curry. Think he's more of a complete player then Underhill. Not as good a defender but better at the break down

    Were those French lads running on treacle or what? May is fast but he was made look super human there?

    France could be humiliated here

    French player just back out of putting Owen Farrell into next week. Very polite. England will score 50+ here

    Saracens keep Billy V fit and they will win HEC

    England averaging a point a minute already.

    Their blocking runs on kicks is fairly masterful.

    If Wales happen to beat England they could win the Slam and lose the championship England will pick up 4 BPs losing against Wales and try BPs.

    Watching Lopez frustrates me, he is not up to the job. Plummets balls with little or no chase.

    Looked like Lambay was impeded on Daly's run. Doubt he would have caught him anyway.

    Anyone catch what Ashton did on that high ball there?

    No you get 3 points extra for beating all the teams

    Apparently its only 3- but enough mathematically to prevent what you proposed

    Nope. You get something like 20 points for winning the slam. It's mathematically impossible to win the slam but lose the competition.

    That can't happen. The slam winning team are given a clatter of BPs to ensure they win the championship

    And that exact point was raised about a bazillion times last year

    Fickou demonstrating reason 1.01 why putting a centre on the wing is a bad idea.

    I remember the fanfare around Gael that ended up being hot air.

    Messy breakdown there, great work by Parra.

    I hope the weather can level the game and deny England a bonus at least.
