Absolutely, France have been there for the taking if Italy could have finished their chances.
Disastrous half from Ireland. Penalty after penalty after penalty conceded. Wales well worth their lead.
Joe Schmidt regretting the decision to keep the roof open as the wet ball has contributed to a lot of our handling errors.

The win over the All Blacks in November seems like a lifetime ago. Hard to believe this is the same side.
6N is a writeoff for ireland even if we win today. Question is what does this mean for ireland ahead of the WC. How do you recover the mental strength again
Last time Wales were in a game 16-0 at half time in the pouring rain there was a huge comeback and the other side won. That was 6 weeks ago in Paris. So I'm not hopeful for Wales yet. Indeed I'm not at all accustomed to them being at front at half time at all.
I've no hope for us in the world cup at all after this 6N. They've just shat the bed and let last year's triumphs get to their heads.
I wonder if Schmidt announcing his departure had had an effect on the team?
Then again, Wales are in the same position with Gatland and they improved.
This is the worst Irish performance I've seen in a long-ass time. At least in the England game we were soundly beaten by a great side but this Wales team has barely gotten out of second gear and they're hammering us.
Fucking embarrassing from Ireland.
[EDIT] That Sexton pass to nobody OMG lol. Just sums up the performance really.

Because he was suckered into it by Gatland letting it be known that he'd appealed to the authoriies to shut it.
Stunning Welsh performance. I'd really expected Ireland to cope with the rain better. I think that is the ninth Welsh Grand Slam that I'm lived through, but pretty damn good all the same. Puts us up to #2 in the world rankings I think.
Well done boys.
Now, come on Scotland!

Bloody hell - just got back from kid's party and did not expect that. Well done Wales - you've owned the defense this Championship, been persistent and (hated word alert) clinical and attack. World Cup beckoning?
Oh God, don't be a spanking...
Man, they've made 'Flower of Scotland' sound quite twee with that little flute trill.

OK. Looks like it is going to be a spanking then. So instead, for your delightment, I offer a sneak preview of Eddie Jones' post interview:
Eddie: "By any measure you take we've been the best team in the tournament, you just need to look at the bonus points and the number of tries we've scored and that tells you the story ... "
Interviewer: "Except for the number of matches you won maybe?"
Eddie: "Fuck off."

Fair play! Only the fourth for me, but maybe one of the best. Bring on the World Cup!
This game is averaging a point per minute so far.
Fair play to Scotland getting 7 minutes for themselves.

Not deserved though. We've not even really put up a fight. We were never going to win but it doesn't even look like we care that much.
Glimpse of hope for the second half though, no?
I mean, I'm generally England all the way with a tinge of conflicting half-Scottishness, so I'm reasonably happy they've clawed a little back even if ultimately I want the England win (and hate myself for it). Doesn't matter too much how they got it.
