    Italy score another and take the lead into half-time.

    Ireland simply a shambles.

    Italy score again and lead 16-12.

    Much over-hyped Irish band wagon looking a bit shite.

    Italy have looked bloody sharp to give them their dues. Long way to go but it would be quite funny to see them win without Parisse.

    Half time. 16-12. Lucky Ireland that Tomasso Allan missed those two conversations.

    Context: Italy have lost their last 19 Six Nations matches.

    And, the Oirish kickoff for 2nd half doesn't make 10 metres...
    I can't believe I'm cheering an Eye-tie team... and don't really expect them to stand up for another 40... but....

    Ireland win 26-16. A bonus point win.

    Italy ran out of gas in the last thirty minutes but were the better team before that.

    Jeez "For the third match in a row, England’s centre pairing accounted for three or fewer passes in total "

    England's tactical flexibility a myth or was Cardiff a one-off?

    After tailormade tactics to expose Ireland and France, have Wales exposed England's as a one trick pony? Or is there more to come from Eddie Jones' side?

    That's old school rugby right there. I wonder what Farrell's kick pass run stats are like? My guess is lots of option 1

    Though my eight best friends, my wife and I are French, we went to Cardiff this week end to watch the game between Wales and England. Great atmosphere, beautiful weather, fantastic singing from both English and Welsh supporters and a frantic finish by the men in red. It was the most emotional match I have watched live so far and it brought tears in my eyes and goose pimples on my arms. A great day to remember.

    The Principality Stadium on match day is a pretty awesome sight/experience isn't it? Even this Englishman had the hairs on the back of his neck standing up when the Welsh Anthem was being belted out. The partisanship of the crowd is something to behold (and I wish we had it to that extent at Twickenham). The roars that greeted anything minutely positive (such as not fucking something up) from a Welsh perspective were huge.

    Shit beer though.
