I meant that if they had cut through a defence and got into a 2 on 1, they would score.

Thank f*c k we won that. That should have been a massacre for us, but credit to Scotland for hanging on in there, but we should have been at least 2 tries up, possibly 3 by 10 minutes. Need some accuracy, wouldn't see the All Blacks create 2 on 1's with the full back and not score.

Fingers crossed for a tight Welsh win... gives us poms a chance ;) Though in all seriousness I expect the Irish to win a tight game, I just think they play very smart rugby right now.

George Ford is a very secure defender for his size, similar to Eastmond and Joseph. But yeah, I can't see him ever winning that class physically.

The Irish scrum surprised me today, it has looked shaky for a year or so. But not today to be fair. Shame to see O'Brian go off injured. No luck that guy, bit ironic considering his nationality. I say this without knowing much about scrummaging. I'm a scrum half!

Indeed, I didn't expect them to use this game to actually start moving their game plan forward. Had to happen some time, and worked well clearly. And, in my opinion, that was the best game of the 6Ns so far in terms of quality of play from both sides. Especially that first half. Shame about the...

That's where it went wrong! The England team were expecting malarky, no wonder the f*cked up! :D Oh and a quick fact that I am surprised wasn't picked up on earlier. or at least i haven't seen it mentioned. Congrats to George North for being the youngest player to ever reach 50 caps. Pretty...

I saw none of that, beating this Ireland side is a tough task, especially away from home.

Yeah the Sexton factor is huge. But I can't help but feel that isn't good for you as a team to be so central around one figure. I mean what happens if he is injured or concussed in a big WC game? Fantastic player though

I really did expect Ireland to put their foot on our throats and finish us off. I couldn't see New Zealand or South Africa allowing a team back in the game (sort of), with a 16 point lead. English discipline was terrible really.

Final scorers 19-9. At least it didn't get ugl and England showed some grit to come back into the game. Better team won though definitely, England made way too many mistakes at critical times. Ireland must be dark horses for the world cup later?

Why does Lancaster persist with thinking twelvetrees is the answer to any problem? Why!?!?

We're on the ropes here. Could get ugly :(

Half time 9-3 to Ireland. Good game so far! Ireland have been more clinical and disciplined and that is the difference. Nice to see both sides trying to play some rugby really.

Italy win 19-22 with a final minute penalty try after Scotland pull down a rolling maul half a metre from the line. Poor game though, very poor game.

England: A Goode (Saracens); A Watson (Bath), J Joseph (Bath), L Burrell (Northampton Saints), J Nowell (Exeter Chiefs); G Ford (Bath), B Youngs (Leicester Tigers); J Marler (Harlequins), D Hartley (Northampton Saints), D Cole (Leicester Tigers); D Attwood (Bath), G Kruis (Saracens); J Haskell...

i hope to not see any of that malarky... especially to Bowe. Don't know if Zebo is that good in the air, but massively rate Bowe.

Well here is hoping he gets some game time to develop! he always looks handy to me at Bath, and when I saw him for Scotland A a few years back against England Saxons I think.

Whatever happened to Heathecote's career? He seemed a promising player, admittedly George Ford spelled the end of his Bath career, but now he is in Scotland right? Just not playing well I guess.
