One of the few major sporting events still on free to air TV starts this afternoon with no side favourite to win the tournament this year, quite looking forward to it.

Put me in mind of Jonny Wilkinson winning a World Cup final with the last kick of the game many years ago. A tight game with only one try that Ireland seemed to control then looked like they had lost it with 5 minutes to go. I did feel sorry for the distraught French players at the end.

I remember watching the game in a pub and leaving, having had quite a few, at about 9 am. They must have very early weddings in Cornwall.

The match was played in Austalia hence the time difference.

Bit of a close shave in the end against Wales even though we scored the only two tries of the game.

All very disappointing with the Championship decided a week early, congratulations to Ireland but hopefully we can stop them winning the Grand Slam next Saturday.

England were worse than disappointing, more like appalling. Just like against Scotland.

Yes they are not up to playing at the top,their kicking and holding on to the ball ,and passing the ball is bad and they are dropping the ball when they get hold of it.
