It’s genuinely good to see a team playing at and coming onto the ball at pace.

Never a pen for England. Cokanasinga never released the tackle them bellyflopped all over the ball.

Italy just so dissapointing, awful decisions making the second they get on the ball

Italians with the best lineout rate so far, hope they cause the English all sorts of bother there.

Really? Could see England getting 8 tries never mind 4

ITV going with all English in the studio. FFS.

I look forward to the token touch line comments from token Italian.

Wales are playing with a lot of confidence. They were under severe pressure in that second half but didn't buckle when Scotland we're making line breaks and getting close to their line. They were confident in their defence and didn't make silly mistakes.

Big contrast with Ireland who look very shaky when things start going against them.

Great interview with Liam Williams there on BBC.
I didn't realise he went working in the steel mills after school having been rejected from the Ospreys.
Certainly explains why he had a chip on his shoulder early on.
Came across very well.

yeah i hear people talking as if england are going to win the chamionship tomorrow , i think wales have the grand slam to lose to be honest. wales going for a grand slam in cardiff is a huge task for ireland espically with ireland out of the running for anything. i would actually fear for us in cardiff. we have been very dead in ourselves the whole championship if we go there in current form they will win by 20 points

We wont gain many ranking points for beating France as theyre so far behind us in the rankings but if we beat Wales we'll go closer to number 1 but we cant make number 1 in the six nations

Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. Just shows how one loss can make all the difference, both in the Rankings and in the 6 Nations!

Not too certain where to ask this question, so please move it somewhere else if it's wrong here, but it does involve the outcome of 6 Nations matches so I thought I'd ask here.

After we beat the All Blacks a few months ago there was a lot of talk about Ireland becoming Number 1 in the World Rankings if we won our first couple of 6 Nations Games. We didn't have to win all of them, just the first two (I think?) Obviously losing to England made a mess of that, but I was wondering, can Ireland still get to Number 1? If we beat France and Wales, would that do it? Just curious really, any searching I do online only brings up articles from Nov after we beat the All Blacks, nothing more recent.

Thanks...

Matt Williams telling us that townsend is still getting to grips with international coaching is pretty rich.

As poor as Scotland are, if recent history is anything to go by, they pose a much bigger threat to Wales than we do.

Correct .... Wales were not even worried about bonus points during the Italy game.

All about winning .... ROG figured it out ....

Ireland haven't won in Cardiff in the 6N under Schmidt. I don't expect that to change.

There was a huge lack of credit/respect afforded to Wales coming into this tournament. You could see it on here after the French game still with many people claiming Wales were poor and nothing to be worried about. It was pure arrogance on our part. They may not have beaten NZ but they've beaten everyone else aside from Ireland in the past year and they're going to be favourites to rectify that in a fortnight.

And I would imagine for the Welsh it is absolutely all about the Grand Slam now just as it would be if we were in the same position. The players won't be thinking about a bonus point whatsoever when they take the field tomorrow. Get the win and they're one game away from a massive achievement.

Riiiiight.

I personally don't think Wales are going to do it if Ireland find form, they've been poor for the majority of the tournament. In that scenario, getting a bonus point against Scotland is really important.

That's not true at all. A BP against Scotland makes it really hard for Ireland to come second, even if they win in Cardiff. It also keeps them in the hunt for first if England **** up.

I'd take any win ..... BP's are irrelevant for us in any case.
