    What a tack from Underhill, true try-saver.

    Danny care has been shocking this half

    One score for Wales and for all England's dominance we'd be in serious trouble. Need to hold firm

    Wales doing a few handling errors themselves

    England doing a Saints now. Being forced deeper and deeper.
    Farrell not being given a single penalty attempt at the posts, unless I missed it. Very controlled rugby by Wales not to concede a penalty that can be converted.

    Some good breaks by Wales being ruined, from their point of view, by players holding the ball for too long.
    I thought, in the last passage of play, when we forced them back, we would have gone for a drop goal.

    Great defence by England on the edge of Wales 22, not giving them a chance. Then force the error.

    Very hard fought win for England.
    Our attacking game wasn’t as fluent as it was against Italy, last week. I felt the players, today, were receiving the passes without having any forward momentum, making it easier for Wales to keep us at bay.
    As for our first try.
    I wish we had a midfielder who could split a defence with a pass like that.

    Great start, then let Wales back into the game. Thought the ref gave Wales too much leeway and penalised England for the same things when Wales were slowing the ball down. Good to stop them crossing the line (TMO decision notwithstanding) so good defence, but we need to tighten up and play better!

    Just realised that Leclerc is driving for Sauber Alfa Romeo this season. Looking forward to that.

    I am, and I'm not, at the same time. Obviously delighted that he's in F1 (as he absolutely should be) but a bit gutted it'll be in the worst car on the grid, so chance to shine will be minimal. Hopefully he gets his head down, learns, and does enough to displace Raikkonen in the Ferrari in the following season.

    I'd prefer to see him in a Renault/Toro Rosso type car though.

    Martini will end their sponsorship of the Williams F1 team at the end of the season , after the Bacardi Group decided to withdraw from F1 completely .

    During the week they voted to ban gambling sponsorship within the GAA. I wish it were something that football would look at as the amount of young people and footballers themselves addicted is unreal and would be a small step in tackling this

    Agreed 100%. I am also disappointed in Ray Winston for the ads, along with Stuart Pearce and the Soccer Saturday gang.

    Gambling is fine! It's not an issue for people.

    It's that pesky cannabis you have to worry about ;)

    Nice to see Scotland handing Ireland the 6 Nations championship. But they’ve had their big game and can be happy beating England, which seems to be all they, Wales and Ireland ever want to do.
    I knew after their superhuman efforts against England that they’d be awful against Ireland and my concerns have been realised.

    I know there are a few golfers on here, so how excited are you at the return of Tiger Woods?
    Runner up, last weekend (to Paul Casey no less), missing out on forcing a play off by one stroke.
    Carded a 68 on the first day of his current tournament, and could be returning to a level of form that will see him as a threat at the Masters.
    Early days, but it will be good to see him on that leader board, preferably behind a Brit or European of course.

    I’m not in the least excited. The media have been creaming themselves for months everytime it looks like “he’s back” and now he looks like he might be, they will be unbearable.

    He has passed me off already with his foul language and crying when he hits a bad shot.

    I'm loving seeing him back, he plays shots that 99% of the field are just not able to play, I think if he stays fit he beats Jack's major record.
