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. This is the competition that counts. |

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

Should have lost to Italy. Were lucky France were so awful and Ireland didn't turn up!
I don't think there's an outstanding Northern hemisphere team in 6 Nations, certainly not consistently over the past 12 months |

"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.
They really should've pushed on after 2003 though.Letting Woodward go was the first in a catalogue of catastrophic coaching mistakes. |

You're living in the past as much as some of us Welsh supporters were after the 1970s.

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 care about the World Cup , but Australia or South Africa will probably win it. |

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

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

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
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. |

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. 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

But they had a poor Autumn against the Southern Hemisphere.

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 |

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.

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