Look out for England's 'Jack Nowell'

Debut today against the French.

Seen him a few times this season at the Exeter Chiefs

Definitely one for the future

You only want to win by 40 points again? betting odds put us level pegging so I wouldn't bet against the English just yet. (maybe tomorrow if we screw up!)

Sorry, can't help. Don't know anything about football.

[Pymmie]

I wonder where all the Wales supporters are tonight?

Convincing win for the Irish 26 - 3

Now time to bring home The Calcutta Cup

[Manwithaplan]

Warren Gatland-- Your team took a hell of a beating.

Nice one Ireland.

Union That's not even proper rugby

The Calcutta cup is where it rightly belongs.

Oh how did Wales do today

Funny you should say that, I played both but Union was always my better game, and I prefer watching it as well.............. I know, coming from Yeadon-Leeds that is sacrelige but at school we could only play Union.

I reckon you can be partially forgiven being as your a Yorkshireman in exile, you tend to lose the finer points in life ________ having been brainwashed at school as well,I bet it was a grammar school__ you have my deepest sympathy

Yes it was a Grammar School, Aireborough Grammar School.

Thought as much I had to attend a grammar school as well but most of the lads refused to play union as we were all from a league background and so they couldn't form a school rugby union team then to the horror of the headmaster the sportsmaster asked if he could form a rugby league team instead and so we carried on playing the proper version of rugby

As 'Mrs Brown' might say, Wales were fecking shite. Absolutely clueless and totally dominated in every area from start to finish. The scorelIne was kind to Wales. And Mike Phillips needs to wind his neck in.
Scotland too obviously took a beating but at least had a bit of a structure and could take a lot more from their defeat than woeful wales.
