Wow I did not see that in a million years! Absolutely massive credit, winning by 30 mental stuff

Over to you England

But were Scotland pitiful or what? Ireland did to them what England should have done last week

Probably the best performance I have seen in my lifetime from Ireland ... beating Scotland away by 30 points is stunning.
And the most inept Scottish team performance I have ever seen.

England get two early tries for example and you just don't know...

This has been such a mad day

As good and all as Ireland were they missed 3 get-able kicks...

Well done Ireland - that was a proper steamroller.

Yeah you really have to take the opposition into account

It's hard to top Australia 2011 to be honest

Gee Scotland were woeful. Still had to beat them handy though!

England still aren't out of this though. They know exactly what they need to do. It's a serious help tbh

Scotland have been pathetic
No effort today whatsoever, no guts at all just rolled over for Ireland

Pathetic
Seeing as they nearly got in at the end there I wouldn't say they rolled over.

Sounds a bit like the England fans last year.

Careful now.

If England win the Championship from this position, it'll be an amazing achievement and kudos. Can't see it though.

Been a mad day already, mind!

As an English man I'd say you deserve the win to be honest. You took us apart in Dublin. Your guys have set us a massive challenge mind, so if we did get that many ahead of the French I might change my mind - I just can't see it happening

I wouldn't start calling Ireland the champs yet, you'll only jinx us!

A big ask for England, but not impossible.

Ireland were tired from beating up the Scots by then, that is the only reason that Scotland got near their line near the end.
And even then he dropped the ball
Bloody hopeless all game

First 15 mins will be crucial. If England are about ten up by then, it gets worrying

They were tbh

Ireland as good as they were still left 9 points out there. Very harsh though, as winning by 30 in the first place even against that team was mental!!

Has this been the best day of Rugby ever?
