England not turning pressure into points
![]() Stats in the second half summed it up 67% of play in Scotland's half, 1% of play in England's 22. |

Not at all! - to beat England and France on the road would be exceptional... we haven't beat France in Paris in 14 years and England in Twickenham since 2010..

And even if Ireland lose to France in Paris and IF England win their last 3 games I can't see them scoring enough points to overhaul Ireland's points difference advantage

I agree. France are still slight favourites at the minute IMO.
- it would be some way to win a grand slam.

Well if you beat England you've got the Triple Crown, then you must be favourites to beat Italy, which leaves France in Paris. Just channel the BOD spirit of 2000

Winning the 6 nations on points difference would while good be a massive let down if we were to get to Paris unbeaten .. I suppose all we have to worry about is England next - a win in London would be a great result.

Will France be able to turn it on playing on that PITCH at Murrayfield though? And as ever, who knows what French team [attitude wise] will turn up in Cardiff

![]() Ireland, what can I say, bloody well done, brilliant game, really good line up, was pleased to see O'Connel back, and good on O'Driscoll for saying no no, aint coming off!! As for Mike Philips, meh, bad loser

Great result and good performance on an awful pitch. Shame England fell away last week, as we'd be on a decent roll now.
Next match against Ireland will be hard, hopefully we can keep the run going. Still think France are favourites for 6N and possible grand slam. |

Italy should actually be drawing 6-6, they have been quite impressive
