Enjoyed that. Scotland played the last so well. Maybe they'll be there or thereabouts at the end. Ireland will be very disappointed at how much possession they had with no result. Swing low.......
I think .. this will be first ever five/six nations game broadcast by ITV .. please ITV .. no Brian Moore giving his 'opinions' .. and no Eddie (I played for the Lions) Butler either ((:>)
England are 4 short in the pack, The Vunipolas, Kruise and Robshaw .. the Itoje experiment is not working ..Lawes off, Itoje back in the 2nd row .. HASKELL ON

Nail on head. Looked much better when Itoje went in to the 2nd row .. Robshaw and Billy Vunipola are massive losses. Think Ford might be on borrowed time as well....can see Farrell moving to fly half, Daly going in the centre and Nowell starting next week. Probably Haskell starting at the expense of Launchbury as well which means Itoje back in the 2nd row - his best position by a country mile.

Press have been banging on about the strength of the England 22 and today showed why. Replacements changed the game. Can't see a grand slam based on that performance though. Should be a very close championship
The French played with a lot more discipline than is usual for them. Hence we didn't get the normal ration of freebie three points through the silly penalties the French generally give away.
It's a good sign that we held firm both in the period after May's yellow and during other French pressure. The French are a decent side and we won.
We will be there or thereabouts at the end of this.

15 straight wins is superb achievement.
