    England didn't string together one backline move in the whole game. Farell was good, everyone else were a bit meh.

      As ever, after a win like that, Ireland get to sit in the dressing room thinking on what might have been, whilst they listen to England celebrating the Championship next door.

      Here's hoping the June tour unearths a few more nuggets for the squad depth.

        I don't think Ireland will be sitting down, and I think the noise they'll make will drown out what will be a downcast England team. 6N is a consolation prize compared to getting into the record books. Winning a tournament on a loss is a bit 'meh'

          Ireland love ruining everyone's party! Wonder what that horrible little hobbit of a coach England have has to say about the result now, after being arrogant and dismissive all week

          To be fair he has been quite quiet this week apart from the Red Riding Hood comments at Shag.

          The players have set themselves up for big disappointment though as they brought into the vibe of not achieving anything if they didn't win today.

          And comparing shag to the big bad wolf was pretty witty I thought ,

          I personally think Eddie takes the piss more than he is given credit for

              You would hope that is the way they feel. That sort of mindset is key on the path to greater glory

                They won the tournament last week after a thumping victory over Scotland.

                                  I tuned into France v Wales with 5 minutes left. It was a bit surreal as another twenty-five minutes and what felt like about twenty scrums unfolded after that.

                                  In the end it was the home advantage championship. Barring games involving Italy, I think only England managed to win an away match.

                                      I usually watch the 6 Nations matches in double speed on Sunday mornings due to time etc, but I watched this match in normal time due to it's significance. The game seems really slow - when Ireland were battering away in the first half I thought I was watching Macqueen era Brumbies ball.

                                      So Ireland managed to strangle the life out of England who looked anything but clinical with the ball. Ireland are the record stoppers these days.

                                      The off side line seems non existent in NH rugby. It's no wonder they often have to play from so far behind the advantage line.

                                      I took particular notice of Itoje and Farrell after their talking up in this thread this week. I know he was playing 6 but there's no way I'd take Itoje over Retallick or Whitelock and Farrell kicks really well ... but I guess this wasn't a game to see his other skills.

                                      Well, I'm happy that England didn't get the record outright, happy to share it with them.

                                          You lot celebrating Ireland beating England reeks of the Aussies celebrating Ireland beating us. It's a little distasteful.

                                          I am happy to not take the moral high ground on this one - yay Ireland!

                                          Fuck the moral high ground. Erin Go Bragh!
