Just like England were kidding themselves after beating New Zealand.”

I don't care what happens in the World Cup. It'll probably be a southern hemisphere extravaganza.

This is the competition that counts.

I don't think you should pick a Lions team on the basis of one home game.

A bit harsh methinks, I don't any team has been brilliant all tournament. Wales recovered from their poor first game and got stronger as the tournament went on. England went in the opposite direction.

I don't think there's an outstanding Northern hemisphere team in 6 Nations, certainly not consistently over the past 12 months

You're living in the past as much as some of us Welsh supporters were after the 1970s.
They really should've pushed on after 2003 though.Letting Woodward go was the first in a catalogue of catastrophic coaching mistakes.

Thats what Scotland football fans say about The World Cup.
I care about the World Cup , but Australia or South Africa will probably win it.

Well to be fair Wales have won 2 6n in a row so only right they should dominate team. That and they definitely have the best players

Such an exciting game - so happy.
Commiserations to English supporters though.

But they had a poor Autumn against the Southern Hemisphere.
Don't get me wrong, they have played well, but picking a team in hte euphoria of a 6 Nations win is not the best option. Had England miraculously scraped a win today, I'd say the same.

To me the six nations is by far the most important, for historical, cultural and personal reasons.

It's an annual fixture and grips the country at fever pitch for weeks and weeks.

Don't care what you think about that, it's what it means to me.

Wales plus BOD, Sexton and Tuilagi alone would definitely beat Australia IMO

Hmm, on form would you really picj BOD? What has he done this season (apart from the yellow today)? Seems the pick is on past form not current.

If England win today they still wouldn't have many starters as they don't have too many brilliant individuals. On their day Wales definitely do

Conor O Shea just saying the same on RTE Ireland saying Back row, back 3 and front row will be definitely dominated by the Welsh

It isn't though, it grips some of the country because they are intensely nationalistic but others just see it as the spud molesting contest that it really is. The only sport close to being as bad is American football.

He's too good to leave out. Hasn't set the world alight in 6n but he's still the best 13 and almost certainly tour captain

Heaslip and O'Brien will be picked from Ireland also, Gilroy has been great this tournament and has a good chance. Possible others from Munster or Ulster based on Heineken Cup performances.

Another question - when did they last beat New Zealand

Probably because Wales have bugger all chance of winning the World Cup

Sport is full of "what have you done for me lately" types with the attention span of goldfish on such matters.

Enjoyed seeing some on various cricket forums today hitting reverse gear on Stuart Broad.
