    Very disingenuous analysis from the TV 3 panel. Saying that if we'd beaten Wales then the England result would have seen us with the tournament. There's no way England would have played like that in the second half of the championship was still on the line.

    Also pretty much untrue. We'd have lost out on points difference unless we bonus pointed Wales, which was never going to happen.

    all in all a superb 6 Nations.
    some weird games, some awful performances, but nevertheless thoroughly enjoyable excitement & drama down to last kick.

    Before today I was going to post that the six Nations had three good teams and three poor teams.

    But after those games its like there's one good team, two ok teams, two schizophrenic mad looper teams and one piss poor team.

    The only saving grace for Ireland is that I think we have Scotland's number in that the way we play (structured and possession based) is perfect to play against their loose high tempo harem scarem game plan.

    Bradbury’s try was the first by a Scottish 8 in 9 years!
    Jonnie Beattie was the last in Croke Park.

    I'm not sure that there is a sweeter passer of the ball than Finn Russell?

    Yeh I love how he passes, he really is a joy to watch and and as someone said a couple posts back, he's what's great about rugby.

    Happens a bit in competitions and Scotland beat England last year so are the holders. When a Triple Crown isn't won, the holders keep it for the season.

    But this year as it's a Grand Slam win by Wales they get both trophies

    It was pure comedy at times. Hardly the 'best' ever, best fun maybe.

    England - France 2015, I think for me best fun, in the last few years anyway. Far more bat**** crazy.
