Wonder if Ireland are regretting insisting on having roof open? Both sides have handling problem but Ireland have more, but thats not an excuse i'm making for them, but watching with the sound off, I don't know what sqeaky is saying, ah well, that's the best way. Anyone like the Ref?

Don't like the ref, he's had a poor game, he likes to look at himself on the big screen instead of concentrating on the match.

No I think this Irish side has peaked and is now collapsing.

England had their chances and kicked them away in Cardiff and a good but unremarkable Wales team made them pay.

A mixture of lacking on field leadership to promptly change things that aren’t working and a schemeing tactician like Shaun Edwards to look at tactics to beat individual sides. Eddie Jones can put a side together capable of brilliance but seems reluctant or incapable of accepting that you do need to play to your oppositions weaknesses rather than just your own strengths. Why kick it to the best back three under the high ball? Why pick lightweight but mobile props and second tows when you could play Cole and Lauchbury and overpower the opposition pack? This was a good option against France when you could run them ragged but against Wales somewhat daft.

Anyone willing to revise their opinion of AWJ after this tournament?

He’s been immense for Wales and I don’t really get the criticism he gets on here

Shame you switched off as you missed a terrific team effort by the Welsh - love ‘em or not, supported by a passionate crowd!

His leadership has been good, I guess a lot of fans, myself included, are salty (rightly so) after his injust Lions selection two years ago. His engine is impressive too, but for me he always be captain overrated.
