The right tactic here by Wales for the scrumhalf to throw a few dummies off rucks. England are flying off the line again and Wales got a good offside penalty there off it.
From my view England are still regularly offside. On Irish TV they're pointing out the ref zoned in on the rucks and not seeing English defenders shooting up early.
Too easy for Curry.
England channeling Inzaghi for offsides in this game
Once again, the irony of England kicking the leather off the ball considering Jones going on about Ireland last year.
Absurd, isn't it.
Wales have made so many basic errors in this game
Yeah, been killing us today. Kept very disciplined for that try though, was fantastic to see.
Now, just got to hang on.
Five mins.
Don’t fecking deserve that.
get the feck in!
And still people won’t give Gatland enough credit. He’s an excellent coach and been great for Wales.
Biggar changed the game and Liam Williams is a special player.

Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé.
Fair result. Couldn’t take advantage while we were on top. Not sure in the logic of kicking the ball when you’re down with 7 minutes to go.
Gonna miss him so much, been brilliant for us for so long.
Poor kicking all game and no one had sense to change things up when it wasn't working.
Absolutely gassed after that. What a fecking game.
Incredible second half from us.

Those words could exactly describe Ireland vs ye two weeks ago.
Ffs. Got it all wrong in the second half!
Wales deserved the win. Hoping Ireland can take something from the the final round of games but think Wales will get the Slam now.

Gatland got some digs in after the game.
He has a very slapable face.
Scotland were poor today, France their for taking. Townsend has a decision to make for the Wales game: Russell will probably be back but if he's not he should start Hastings and probably Price at scrum half. I don't know what Tommy Seymour has to do to get dropped, he's been gash for over a year now. Grigg was solid in defence but awful in attack.
I know we have a lot of injuries but I'm starting to miss Vern Cotter. Wales will feel they have nothing to fear from us.
Well done Wales. Whilst they are always capable of raising their game to extraordinary levels against England, I didn't think they had that in them. Still hate Wyn Jones though.

6N: Italy vs Ireland featuring some excellent Carabinieri

Thanks for that, made my morning.
It’s just an all too familiar story in the 6N for us. What really has pissed me off is the number of fundamental/schoolboy errors that we have made during this campaign. At this level, you will get severely punished and that’s what has happened.
We just completely bottle it whenever we play away from home. Fair enough, we’ve got a ton of injuries but that just highlights how poor our depth really is when we are down to our bare bones.
Wales next and well God knows what’s going to happen as they are on fire right now. 12 wins in a row (I don’t know if that is a national record) is just absolutely incredible and I personally hope they go on and win it.
I think Wales are on their best winning streak for over 100 years. 1910 was mentioned on the commentary i heard.
Pretty poor start by Ireland.
Try for Connacht!
This has been a 6N of gifted tries. Another one given from Italy to Ireland.
Great try Italy! But the conversion is missed...
Italy into the lead!!!
Italian 9 is having a ridiculous game.

You're right, the basic errors are killing us even more than the injuries. Another hugely disappointing campaign. We've got to get past this mental block away from home. Can't see it happening at Twickenham this year though
Clever try by Murray
Just want to see Carty get on now.
Phew! Somewhat frustrating day what with Utd’s injuries and then the Irish team playing an error strewn game.
Fair play to Italy who gave the Irish a bit of a scare.

Lads has the rules over the TMO changed in rugby? There were are few incidents in the 6N games this weekend that would've been called in recent years but the TMOs seemed to turn a blind eye to. The Courtney Laws removal of the ball from the Welsh maul to start the phases for the Curry try was one and then there were a few late hits with no arms in the Scotland France games. They come to mind off the top of my head. Can the TMO review any play and inform the Ref or does the ref have to ask for a review. I know a lot of folk in the media were complaining about the speed of decisions and the amount of refs asking for TMO reviews last year but I would be of the opinion that you get the call right first and foremost.
