3-6 at half time in Paris.

Gatlandball working well so far.Just got to hope that France don't do what England did in the second half in Cardiff.Mainly keep the ball and patiently take the lead.

First try of the game, great move finished off by Dan Biggar. Halfpenny slips and misses the extras.

6-14, 62mins.

I'm still nervous given the strength of the France bench.

Interesting that Gatland didn't bring on the entire bench at around 60mins like he usually does.

Pen at scrum won by Wales just outside the 22.

Halfpenny gets it 13-20, 74mins.

Stade de France not happy with that one bit... French all over the place - a shadow of their former selves.

Wow Halfpenny has the shiner to show he's been in a game.

Great win but France are still a shambles.Will they have a new coach for Twickenham in a fortnight?

Sh1te I'd much rather an unmotivated, out of the competition Wales in 2 weeks. Now they'll be massively fired up still believing they can sneak championship

Grand Slam decider for England tomorrow

Ireland win tomorrow and the competition gets massively exciting. 3 teams still well in it with two weeks to go.

Hardly a classic but very pleased with the result. Lovely lay off for the try and thought we bossed it in the second half, really. Lee as reliable as ever. Looking forward to the game tomorrow now. Got a feeling it'll be a cracker. Hope so. Sorry England fans, but rather unsurprisingly will be favouring Ireland.

I don't know why France keep losing to Wales. This is the fourth year in a row the French have let me down.

Surely now the French must be rid of that appalling Saint-Andre who has ruined the French team . Rugby is more then picking big guys to use as a battering ram .
I was delighted to see the Welsh scrum standing up to that massive French pack and giving as good as they got .

I don't like Ireland's call but I understand the reason the IRFU has put in in place and tbh the elected president of Ireland shaking hands to visiting players IMO adds a bit of class to the game and formally welcomes them to Dublin.. don't see why any player should have a problem with that.”

I'm not a rugby union fan - quite the opposite - but in any sport it should be the same for both teams. The haka and other teams who have similar rituals should not be allowed as well as a national anthem for example. You get a national anthem or a silly dance, not both. If I were an opposing player, I'd turn my back to that nonsense, or be off down the other end of the pitch warming up.

I wonder if Andy Nichol will find a reason to blame the officials this time.He spent a large amount of the pre match chatter complaining about the ref against Wales.

That papered over some cracks in this Scottish team.”

The whole BBC Six Nations coverage has long been horribly let down by the biased nature of the punditry. They should bring in Southern Hemisphere pundits and not let the Northern Hemisphere ones comment on their own country.

Massive game this evening in Dublin - Heart says Ireland, head says England with their scrum advantage. The atmosphere in Dublin will be epic, it always is when the English come to time...

May the best team win! .. Come on you boys in Green!
