A well deserved win for England. As for the citing: should be -but not convinced about the quality and consistency of the decision making process so far.

A good win by England, They were the only team to threaten the try line as well. Healy's stamp was on Dan Cole IIRC, maybe down to thoughts of Lions selection? He should be cited and banned for the next three games. England have France at Twickers next. France must change in leaps and bounds to get anything from TW2 6SN. There's a faint possibility I may get a ticket for that game.

The chances are very slim, but you never know. I've only seen England v France once before and that was in 2003.

OUCH! 80% possession, 80% territory and not able to make use of the man advantage. Can't say the result surprised me in the end. P

If Italy had won on Sunday they would've deserved it. Luckily for England they couldn't get to the try line again. I also believe the 250\1 on betting was an insult to the Italians. Ireland were lucky to get the draw, and Scotlands defence just failed them again. Bring on next weekend should be a belter. Although I don't expect a Grand slam from England this time round. Their in experience at this level will be the deciding factor I believe. But, I may be wrong. It could do them the world of good if England lose the final game of this tournament. Character building I would think.

Scotland gave away too many penalties in the first half and made too many mistakes in the second half. Wales were good but should have won by a bigger margin, possibly they were saving themselves for the game with England. They need to put Bigger on the bench and start Hooky. it is mind boggling that James Hook has not started a game in this 6Nations. He is easily the best No. Ten Wales have to Bigger has been given plenty of chances in this years tournament and done next to nothing with them He was found wanting in the first half against Ireland and if anything was mostly responsible for the awful start Wales got off to in that game.
Wales can do it against England but i do not think it is a given. If England play as they did against Scotland then we could be in for a long day. Mind you if Wales play like they did in the second half against Ireland England will be in for a spanking, which will make my time in the pub surrounded by Englishmen most enjoyable*lol*
So who thinks France are going to win the wooden spoon this year? Seeing as they started as favorites for the Championship that has to be the surprise of the tournament. Scotland need to be on their game that weekend and cannot afford any mistakes or indiscipline if they are to record their third win.

Watched the Italy/Ireland and Wales England game in the Blue and what an atmosphere it was. Congrats to the Italians for an excellent game against Ireland and for such a huge improvement in form this season. 30-3...who would have thought Wales would win by such a huge margin I thought at first that the beer i was drinking was having a most unusual effect, however it was the effect Wales were having on England that was unusual. Brilliant performance guys and what a way to turn the championship around after the dismal first half performance against Ireland. I think it is fair to say Wales are deserved winners of this years 6Nations, maybe even more so than their Grand Slam win last year. What a truly excellent day of Rugby. It is a shame that Scotland were not up to the task against France, however it was good to see the French team at last playing to the standard that they are capable of. Cymru am Bith!!! Eth

What a weekend of rugby!!!!! Wales were absoloutely deserving of the win -and increbile and stunning performance. Mrs H was VERY happy (even nearly forgot about the table-cloth ) But, today was even better: Heno junior scored an amazing try this morning from almost our own try line -to the other end with Rhiwbina's speed merchants snapping closely at his heels- a great St Paddy's day pressie for his old man!
