Exactly.

Exactly.

I'd prefer just a straight up and down, not even a play-off, it saves having to worry about player release or further imposing on the clubs

Yep. Apart from the chance of a bit of winter sunshine I don’t see the point of ring fencing it.

Ireland looking comfortable.

I hope EJ is taking notes on Wales' outside defence.

Shit. She's really fucking going in on this interview. Good for her.

Eddie seems incredibly irritated.

Finally goaded him into admitting he just enjoys being a twat. Good work.

Good game Ireland v Wales, they'll both pose us a lot of problems. Tompkins not looking quite so much of a loss today

Agreed. We need a big game today or we're going to end up 4th or 5th.

I thought the same. He was pretty poor.

As Mr. Mwenda pointed out, Wales outside defence is rubbish. Hopefully It’s something we can exploit, IF we don’t resort to kicking it away at every opportunity.

We’re generally better at HQ so I fancy us to raise our game (it wouldn’t be hard) for Ireland and Wales. Let’s not assume France are back until they’ve played away from SdF against someone other than Italy.

He looked caught between 2 systems to me.

Wales can't pass at 9, 10, 12 and 13.. And even with that Stephen Jones has improved the side to watch on attack

I always have a small smile when Ireland are turned over via the choke tackle. Karma is a beautiful thing.

Enjoying the Welsh offloads.

France looking classy.

Italy's best hope is the french lose all shape. Poor buggers.

Nicely worked try by Italy .... and a world class conversion

Fair play to Italy, playing so poorly and still within 3 points.

Wales beat this Italy side 42 - 0. I know italy tend to fade, but I don't feel France are looking that special. Dupont is looking special, what we wouldn't give for him.

France perhaps discovering they can't count on the ball bouncing the right way in every match...

Dupont is pure class

Joy to watch .... and no slouch when it comes to the physical stuff

Ntamack's kicking also hugely entertaining
