If we carry on playing like this then Wales could be winning the World Cup at Twickenham in 2015.
well it'll be interesting to see who gets out of the group of death

very poor from England today, well played to Wales

No doubt England have helped to make Wales look good today.
Its a similar match to when England beat New Zealand recently.
I doubt Wales can play like this every match.
Someone remind me were England ranked no 1 when they won the World cup. I don't remember them being above Australia and New Zealand ?

"Could" isn't a World Title. England have been World Champions, nobody can dispute that, they have proven they are the best in the world.
errr... not quite sure what you mean.
"Best in the world" is always changing in sport.

If England don't win today then they're not the best in the world. They're not even the best among the six nations.

Well I fancied Wales to win but I didn't expect by 27 points.

Deserved champions.

The Lions team needs to be mostly Welsh players

An all Welsh back row is now looking extremely likely!

Maybe even all Welsh front row?

I was misunderstood. Wales played out of their skins and England just didn't get going and played badly.
As I have said England only played well in patches against Scotland.
They did just enough in the matches till now and were found out.
I think Welsh fans are kidding themselves that every match from now and throughout the World Cup will be like this.
Just like England were kidding themselves after beating New Zealand.

I've just realised, Stuart Lancaster looks like a shaved head Chris Barrie.

England outplayed and showed little composure. Illustrated by Care kicking hte ball dead from 5m out.
Wales back row far, far too strong and Wales did their homework on Tuilagi.
Strange turn around from the first few matches and the Autumn Tests.

Should have lost to Italy. Were lucky France were so awful and Ireland didn't turn up!

I'm not sure where Wales got that performance from, but fair play to them they played brilliantly on the day

Considering how many games that Wales lost in the run up to the 6Nations, it's even more surprising to see them win the championship.

I suppose Gatland won't get much flak now for not picking many English players for Lions tour

I think France will put up a big score later!

Disaster of a tournament for Ireland. And for Lions prospect. A fit BOD and Sexton could be only starters and there could be no complaints as it stands

Hard to have predicted Wales would win after that first half against Ireland though!

So you don't want the lions to win then?

As for England. Tuilagi and maybe a second row aside as it stands they may have no-one else in team!

Think the Irish may contest the back row.
Not sure about the front row. England just got on the wrong side of Walsh and from there, no going back. Probably needs a bit more reflection, Irish front row and Murray also have a good shout.
