Everyone going on about how amazing Ben Morgan was with that singular ball carry last week, and how he made more ground or whatever seems to not realise or just forget that it was against a tired Scottish defence.

Good luck Wales on Sunday though i dont think you will need it. Wales were excellent against Ireland and fully desereved the win.
Ihave to say i thought Wales played above themselves in the World Cup and Ireland would find them out how wrong i was.
I.M.O. Wales France will be the Grand Slam decider what a game that will be.

This is a very strong team, with Alun wun jones to return for the English game a strong squad, barring injuries Wales will be the team to beat this year

Ireland might had a chance against France, but not with Murray on 9 and the centres that is picked. Send Kidney, Murray and Earls back to Munster and get a coach who knows how to coach rugby and to pick the best players for Ireland.

Tipuric rolled his ankle in Dublin and so is injured for this weeks game. Dropping him from the 22 for no reason after his 2nd half performance on Sunday would have been pretty harsh!

Comment on Stephen Ferris cleared at citing hearing for tackle on Ian Evans by TOM

That makes it two years in a row in the six nations diabolical refereeing has cost Ireland against Wales. Last year the illegal quick throw in from touch which led to the try. This year Davies should have had red and all independent commentators say Ferris tackle no yellow and no penalty.

i think they should bench Dowson , he`s not and out and out last man down … give Morgan the number eight shirt he`d do some damage with his ball carrying ability and will be good in the ruck areas and fringes … Dowson not clever and good enough to even be in the england squad he may be good with northampton but not in and England shirt … if he was to play nuumber eight or even on the flank against new zealand , australia or south africa he`d stand no chance at all … so give Ben Morgan the start he deserves… cheerz

I can see this one going just like the Scotland one (with England pulling a bit further clear). There pack is good enough to stop us getting much decent attacking ball so we can’t score too many tries. I think it will be another bore fest.
