6 Nations Super Saturday 2026 - Match commentary ... final day

The question was in relation to Chessum costing England two points from a conversion by not touching down closer to the posts, which "would" have led to a draw.

Was the second penalty also called for a high tackle? Am yet to see that one back yet.

I simply can't fathom why he changed the deliberate knock on call to just a knock on. Presumably got input from TMO or touch judge?

I mean do they have to explain what seems to be erroneous calls - penalty try and yellow card - has Ireland ever received a penalty try - i think i recall one v Japan when we ran up a huge score but a six nations i dont ever recall one even when penalty after penalty was chalked up.

I thought the ref said it wasn't deliberate so just knock on advantage. Which ran out. Haven't seen a replay so can't be certain.

My bad, thanks👍

He’a a very unlikeable player from a personality POV, but let’s just ignore O’M’s red card brain fart v Wales then (when he was considerably older than Pollock is now). 🤷‍♂️

As an Irish supporter I thought England were outstanding. Nothing to play for but pride and integrity. Under the right coach they could win the world cup. This was the best 6 nations for the unpredictable. Non rugby fans love it due to the short window. France will not win a rugby cup due to their fragile edgeness like confidence between brilliance and collapse, which is only 10 bad minutes in a game

what an incredible super Sunday! The Irish game was very enjoyable but the French English game was sensational- what rugby drama, utterly captivating to the last minute. Although we could have snatched an unlikely win the ending sits well with me. This season was wild.

He called the change about a microsecond before Fin Smith tried a kick through, clearly thinking he had penalty advantage. If he didn't think he had the advantage, there's no way he kicks that ball.

Also, as had been said a few times, it was quite clearly a deliberate knock on, so what on earth he was doing changing it, I've no idea. Did he get some belated info from TMO? I've never heard a TMO communicate in live play to say "nah mate that knock on was accidental".

How's the view up there on your horse?

I think not winning the championship this year will be better for Ireland in the long run. Ireland have progressed, expanded the squad with guys showing they are capable of holding their own at this level plus still have some top players to come back in. We still have room to improve and I think Farrell will have a clear vision of what he needs to do. We will remain somewhat under the radar and I think we are in a good place to build towards the WC.

France on the other hand, I'd question if they are in a good place right now. The win last night will paper over some cracks. They fell over the line and were helped hugely by poor decision making from the opposition and referee. They are still the same old France, no shortage of talented players but can't keep their shít together for long enough (as last night proves despite them winning). I also wouldn't buy the suggestion that they know how to win even when playing badly, last night they gave up the lead multiple times and the less said about how they got it back at the end the better.
