Connacht back row is very tidy with Prendergast, Jansen and SHL. Prendergast maturing into a really fine player now. Not sure he’ll ever be a regular international but you can see why Farrell selects him in every squad. His back row partners could be in the mix soon enough. Connacht prop depth looks...

Connacht going with their young props next season? Seeing as it looks like Aungier is going to Munster and Dooley back to Leinster.

Should have been over after Pollock stole the ball. Until he tried a mad offload.

IBWT

Now I remember Chessum running to the corner when he could have ran towards the posts.

IBWT

France were out of ideas. Can’t concede a pen there.

IBWT

Gotta be kidding me. England were under no pressure there to concede a pen.

IBWT

What an amazing 6 Nations this is.

IBWT

Lucky there. Just got a warning.

IBWT

Wouldn’t be overly happy with the reffing tonight from an English perspective.

IBWT

Never saw a player score from so many kicks and chips ahead as BB.

IBWT

The French really hate Pollock lol.

IBWT

Could have gone a lot closer there.

IBWT

Penalty try and yellow card. Followed by 2 more tries. Changed the entire game.

He definitely was.

IBWT

Ireland not clearing rucks quick enough this half. Maybe fatigue.

IBWT

Scotland been getting some marginal calls in their favour since half time. Has given them a bit of field position and momentum.

IBWT

Weird kick from Crowley that. Presume he was looking for the corner.

IBWT

Furlong missing a lot of tackles these days.

IBWT

A rare Dupont shocker today.

IBWT

Crowley still has that in his locker unfortunately.

IBWT

I know it’s for the colourblind but bit sad that you don’t see the iconic green v red any more.

IBWT

England discipline gone out the window.

IBWT

Sheehan overthrow at the lineout gave an England that last chance. Not sure the ref change has done Ireland any favours either. They were in a rhythm with Piardi.

IBWT

England lucky there. He had to go for that.

IBWT

Crowley has a few too many of those.

IBWT

Obviously put 3 backs on the bench as there were doubts about Lowe and Ringrose.

IBWT

What’s the story with Josh Neill? I know the springboks are leaving the door open for him but what are the chances he’ll plan for Ireland? Committed to Ireland as far as I know. HIs brother and sister play cricket for Ireland already. Springboks don't miss many who leave but he's one they definitel...

IBWT

Strange one. Why say no and then blow for the pen after he takes his hands away immediately.

IBWT

Italian scrum gave the Boks some problems last November. No surprise that it’s very good.

IBWT

That’s definitely forward.

IBWT

Those are two criminal missed conversions from Prendergast. Not helping himself.

IBWT

Ireland need a coaching intervention in catching high balls. At all levels.

IBWT

Ireland inability to catch high balls costing them again here.

IBWT

Shit for the 6 Nations though isn’t it. Used to look forward to England v Wales games as a neutral. Now it’s borderline unwatchable. Apart from the unintentional comedy.

IBWT

For somebody so quick, Arundell has an absolutely massive arse.

IBWT

The A’s were even a grimmer watch than the senior team. Red flags all over the place at the moment for Irish rugby.

IBWT

Of the starting team, is there anyone people unanimously thought played fine? I'm proposing: Sheehan (not at his outstanding best but fine) Clarkson McCloskey Osborne :?: Thought C Prendergast was fine. Was pretty much the main lineout option while he was on. Think he won a turnover. Not really evi...

IBWT

Athletically we are falling way behind France and England. Even Scotland and Wales probably have a couple more really good athletes than we do. They just don’t have our depth.

We just don’t have that combination of size, power and speed anywhere really. It’s all very one paced.

IBWT

Ireland set piece was actually very good.

Ireland tried to move away from their phase play game to more of a kicking game that most others are playing. Unfortunately they couldn’t recover any kicks. If you can’t do that under these rules you’ll be in trouble.

IBWT

Surely not legal there?
