There's talent available to Lancaster in the backs but he hasn't found the mix yet. I really thought that was going to be an area where the Taffs would put the pressure on us, and TBH it should have been.
Still, if we can have an only intermittently functional threequarter line and still stick 11 points on the reigning champions, it can't be all bad.

We've been poor for the best part of this Six Nations mate so I wouldn't put too much into putting 11 on us, especially considering the nature of both your tries.
In all honesty I don't think there has been a standout team in this seasons Six Nations. We've destroyed the French and the French will hump the Irish and have already dispatched the English. It simply seems to be whoever has got home advantage in the big games has gone on to win.
Yes.
Luckily enough we don't sign Welsh players.
That tactic has worked superbly so far.
Yeah must be. I too am still tired from events that happened in the summer.
Wales' entire game plan consists of being more physical than the opposition- when it doesn't work they have no tactical nous, skill or anything else to fall back on.
Sooner or later the penny is going to have to drop about a few of the lauded players in that team. Warburton for example isn't the best seven in Walea

See what i mean about Welsh bleating and thats just one of them! and they lost! god help us all when they win a big game, thankfully that isn't a common occurence.
Hes right you know, the mighty Welsh can't possibly lose to England fair and square. 😉
Its on but England are probably a try light at this point, some of the play today you would think the game was being played in the pissing rain, its still a top effort from England though whatever happens, some of the off loading has been class, its nice to finally see more of it.
Nice to see Tuilagi back as well.

Ouch, that blows that then.
Never in my life did I ever think I'd be pulling for the French. There's a first time for everything though.
Even with history against them i can't see anything but an Ireland win, even if a good France do turn up Ireland should still win.
Scotland are going to get absolutely humped here, 60 plus points.

That first few minutes were key, had the bastard managed to find French hand it could have been 10-0, nice from Ireland though, they are well into it now and bang up for this.
The bookies had it spot on, 2 points was the handicap.
Sexton's kicking could have made it more comfortable but even then it's hard to say it was well deserved.
We were outplayed for large parts of the game and kicked too much IMO, but we played the percentages and the luck was with us.

You remind me of those blueslime who big up the Mancs just to get up LFC noses. Dear oh dear.
Well done Ireland though. Worthy champions in the end.
Fair play to the Irish, they deserved it, fitting end for O'Driscoll.
