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

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...

The same was said about Wales an hour and a half ago.
Oww that's us buggered!
Well done Ireland - that was a proper steamroller.
All down to the next one now. Allez les bleus as the say!

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

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

Les bleus!
(Sorry as a French graduate I get pedantic).
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?
