Fortunately the gnome hasn't been around since I packed him off to help the saffers the other day. Hopefully he's satisfied with wreaking havoc in Brighton

Yup. Wales have lacked the mental nerve to hold out against Australia so many times and that's been the difference. Hopefully that's changed. We ll see. From what I saw yesterday they've certainly prepared well and are on top fitness. Happier with a strong performance and win against Ireland...

But we did just beat oireland in oireland which Australia failed to do. Shame you missed the first half when both teams were at full strength. Bradley Davies was excellent There are some worries for gatland particularly with his favourite son cuthbert but I think we're ok. Let's see how...

Oh and tipuric was mccawesque. Apart from that, sure Ireland were unlucky. Big problem for Ireland is that Schmidt needs a plan b or is it d for sexton. Kicking for touch just gave the ball to Wales. Sorry that earls carried off. Hope he's ok Not the send off from Dublin that st parl...

Dunno what game you were watching. In the one I watched Wales outmuscled and were fitter and stronger in just about every aspect of the game. They stuck to the cement plan, but they kicked too much. However but for a brain fart before half time that wasn't a close match. And it was in Dublin.

Stuart Hogg would be a great player in any national side but Scotland. These days it's harder and harder for the Mavericks to shine unless the back row forwards are cohesive. Players like Hogg make breaks all the time but just get isolated and turnovers are almost guaranteed

It's good. Little surprised with no 8 choice. Heaslip or the man formerly known as Toby for me. but tbh I think I'd Pick the entire welsh team or the entire Irish over this composite. Too many players in your team owe the performances and their places in your team to those around them.

One thought struck me as I was pretending to work and watching replays. If we are going to see a repeat of consecutive games like that in the future something is going to have to be done 1) about watching unusual betting activity on the games and 2) an integrity commission established to...

Picking up on something else. To my reckoning that's 4 times that 1/2p has been knocked out playing for Wales. He's gotta be taught to tackle. He's going to do permanent damage. I reckon ch should put him back on the wing now Sanjay has stepped up

Cos that's not in the ch plan for victory. I love Adam but even in few blues games I've seen it's clear his top level career is run and the way games are reffed there's less emphasis on tight head and more on loose and on props with speed and ball carrying ability. we held our own for 90% of the...

I agree but we are a rabid populace who demand that Wales don't just turn up to rwc. We've come close to beating Australia so many times and just fallen short, likewise nz. If yesterday and those games show anything it shows how you need 80 mins commitment to total rugby and great as Adam has...

Well hats off to the jocks for ambition! http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/rugby-union/18650528

Dont think there was any sort of camera angle on his injury. That scrum was a wheeled shambles. Look I love Adam jones. At every level he's huge. He's also taken the decision to retire and I respect that. Do we need him back? - Yes for better scrums. Would I bring him back? - not sure. Cardiff...

Absolutely true. I like biggar but given space, sexton can change his style and the game like he did last night. Still, don't know why scots fell for his loop moves when we had shown the method to shut him down. Still we got better and better as tournament went on. Sanjay has finally...

I think his future might be at wing with Sanjay at 15

Was just watching ken owens again. Amazing comeback. Hibbard is going to struggle to warm the bench. Heard nugget claim awj as best welsh lock ever. Post- lifting certainly.

Deliriously happy. Been sniggering on the sofa ever since Italy scored the last try

S impossible. Best you can do is pick a 'where wouldn't I pick current Irishman xv'. I just tried that and I only dropped Devon tone for awj. Tried it for Wales and ended up with two new props and for England they got foxy as a new outside centre, warbs for Haskell and replacement for Hartley.

Picked the winners or the margins?

Cmon lee, bbe and Bardon. Let's have the team of the tournament! IMHO Absolutely no way of picking some positions. Too many great performances for different reasons. My player of the tournament has been Awj but England could make claim for parling. how do you pick #4? Poc was excellent as usual...
