That ad's hilarious, why on earth did they ban it?
No idea. But it's a great ad.

That's what I'm wondering too!

That said when it comes to rugby it's anyone but Wales. Especially with Gatland in charge.

Peculiar game in Twickenham - it all seems disorganised.

I think this banned 2012 Six Nations ad sums up my feelings right now.
Just showed that to my 10 year old son. He ROARED with laughter.

I suppose I shouldn't be encouraging that kind of behaviour

I don't like Gatland either. The Welsh team and fans I like, but their coach is a dick.

Jekyll & Hyde first half display from England but credit to the Scots.

It was that gobshite Henson who used to turn me off Welsh rugby; but he's a distant memory, thank God.

Well there was him as well. Wales got a very slight reprieve when Johnson took over at England too.

He's a very successful coach.

Haskell didn't need to pass that forward.

Seriously those England fans are irritating. Twice now they've boo'ed correct forward pass decisions - decisions they could CLEARLY see on the big screen were correct. Be a bit gracious, ffs.

Still very bitter about losing the Ireland job despite all the support he got to try and save it.

Feeling much more optimistic now; if it stays like this England are one point behind on Ireland's points difference, yes? Even if they bang it home in the last 10, we're in with a good shot, I think.

Think England have got the championship now

Big ask for Wales to put 40 or 50 points on Italy AND hope for the England and Ireland games to go in their favour

Danny Chipolata back in the England squad. Didn't think he'd ever be back in an England jersey.

Quite a fair advert ...... in reality.

The home nations apart from England right now will be thinking the same thing.

Inverdale will now wax lyrical about everything England. When England lost their last match all the after match conversation was about them, and not how Ireland won. Scotland won't get a mention from Inverdale now!!

Very poor performance from England there, very lucky to win by that much.
Hopefully a decent French team will show up next week. 😀

Ah well. Thought it was going to be a lot more one sided than that though.

So, you never know what might happen next week. I can guess, but it's a funny old g....no,wrong sport cliche.

Well done England.Decent win and not a bad game although nowhere near the intensity of the match in Cardiff today.

Phenomenal stat that Robshaw has played every minute of the last 19 matches for England. Although it could be an issue if he gets an injury and Lancaster needs an untried back row trio during the World Cup.

Terrible stuff by England, they've done their best to lose this Championship. Scotland are so awful and they couldn't capitalise

Ah now they left about 30 points behind them

Danny Chipolata back in the England squad. Didn't think he'd ever be back in an England jersey.
Danny Cipriani has been back since the summer but gets very little gametime

Giving him 3 minutes was some joke, why even bother?

Agree

Haha have a look back at that try v New Zealand in the Aviva 2013. The fans even decided to boo the kicker after it and a perfectly legitimate try. Tbh I was glad to see him score the conversion

I'd use plenty of words to describe that win and decent is not one of them

I can see Ireland beating Scotland and Wales beating Italy however I suspect England have a tough match against France.
