The Wales - Ireland game was brilliant IMHO, with Wales deserved winners in the end. Next week will be interesting to see who wins and all the fun (or not) of points differences...

Or just watch rugby league  ;)

Shame it doesn't get the coverage the posh version gets. you very rarely see dull matches and although kicking is an important aspect of the game and often a match winner, its not for penalties.

Agree completely.

Saturday was a good day of rugby :)

Sunday was dire (:|
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

I think it was one of the worst game I saw (Italia-France)

I think I begin to like Rugby less than before.

Are the England fans supporting Italy and Scotland ( :o ) today?   ;)

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I suppose the problem with rugby is there isn't enough of this sort of beautiful play...

It's been a good tournament so far i think, but there are parts of the game that need a bit of attention.  The way scrums work now is a problem i think... :-\

I can hardly believe it. Scotland hammered (well, I can believe that) but Ireland now in pole position! (I thought they had blown it against Wales.)
What a mountain now for England.  :o

So long as the Jocks got hammered and the sheep botherers don't win the competition, I'm okay  :)

Charming. Do you call black people 'jungle bunnies' as well?

Couldn't agree more. These days I lose interest in union games quickly, there are so many stoppages and walking around.

How can anyone not love this:

They should get rid of the rolling mauls. complete waste of time and just ruin the game

Though I do prefer Rugby League
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Wow! What a conclusion to the Championship.  Open down to the last seconds.    Well done Ireland, an amazing and relentless performance against Scotland.  But what a game at Twickenham - so much character, so much endeavour, a truly magnificent end to the 6 nations.  Stuart Lancaster deserves a lot of credit for the way England play, and their sheer resilience. And what do you say about France, 35 points and on the losing side by 20! I cannot wait for the Wordl Cup.  :o  :o  :o =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>
