Big question is can England and France live with the Irish maul especially from set pieces? - I haven't seen such dominance in a very long time and Wales are not a bad team.

How much ball did Priestland kick away today [and last week]...?Surely working the ball through the hands to the back 3 would work better

Well played Ireland who totally dominated a poor Welsh team with no plan B. I don't know what James Hook has done to Gaitland.

Ireland on course for at least a Triple Crown on the strength of today, and they must fancy their chances against France in Dublin

The pitch at Murrayfield has seen better days.

I read today that it was watered yesterday:
"Maybe the best way to dry out a modern surface is to spray liquid all over it (implied <rolleyes>)".

Have to say its good seeing Wales get a beat down like that, purely because it shuts their fans up.

Delusions of granduer and love laying the boot in and sneering down their noses at others.

We are playing both England and France away from home - if we were to beat both of them to a grand slam it would be Irish rugby's finest moment.

Scotland by a score...

Ah yes, France game is in Paris as it's an even year not an odd year, must be stuck in 2013 me. Ireland can still win both games though

Had to tell one the other day - be humble until you've actually won it, then if you do win you CAN crow all you like

Can't beat Flower of Scotland on a 6 nations weekend - C'mon Scotland!

Gutted. Ireland continue to be Wales bogey team. Ireland dominated, Wales didn't turn up except to kick the ball away. Then again, look what happened last season....

Great to see Scotland in proper Scottish jerseys again, after that Spiderman rubbish for so many years.
They need good goalkicking to have a chance though, and so far that's been pretty awful.

England superior in execution, especially in the lineout.
The pitch is a joke, so more of the same: kick and chase and maul.

Priestland constantly kicks the ball, even when Wales had a difficult enough time holding onto the ball when it was on the ground!!

He didn't create anything today, just stood back and gave hospital passes to the rest of the backs.

James Hook the utility back who never gets a game.

Hook should have replaced Priestland on 60 minutes when Wales may have had a chance to get something out of the game. They couldn't have done any worse at that stage, so what is Gatland's problem with him, and if he does have a problem why bother having him on the bench and not using him?

Hook is a flare player, at least he may have given some excitement from a Welsh point of view!


Ireland were tremendous today, totally took George North out of the game, were disciplined, and it was a really strong forward display.

England not turning pressure into points

Finally, England convert a chance

Yet again Youngs can't hit his jumper at a crucial moment

Absolute walk in the park for England there, game wasn't the best but playing on a ploughed field doesn't help in that regard!

Thought Scotland had turned a corner last season in the six nations they looked on the up, absolutely abysmal performance by them today though they were lucky to get 0!!

England didn't score enough points, not a problem if they are 2 from 2, but they ain't, so if IF IF IF they win their remaining games I cannot see them taking the title on points difference

Nice cup

Ireland on plus 45 points difference

Heartbreaking to see Scottish rugby in such a state - that could have been 60-70 points there... Pitch was embarrassing for the 6 nations as a whole - just compare it with Lansdowne Road earlier.
