Italy a bit hard done by the ref. 2 forward pass tries for Scotland and can't understand how the Hogg try was awarded so quickly.... Meh

Well Ireland were absolutely smothered by the Poms. Thought it an enjoyable game, not particularly open, but was never going to be, too much on it. That Pommy defence was watertight almost, and I wondered if Ireland struggled to create much with their inside backs. Conor Murray is bloody great, not sure that Sexton did much to spark the attack and Bundee at 12 is never going to spark much, does his job well, but never really questions the defence.

The 75th minute try for England was something. Check out the rush defense line speed still there in the last couple of minutes of a test match.

They are just about playing a different game to the pre-pro old days

Rush defense being code for 'you can't ping us for being offside every ruck'

Wales also made a good comeback from being down 16-0 at half time in the rain.

That was an awful impressive comeback John, the French certainly seemed to turn off motor at halftime, or Wales turned thiers on then!!
