OMG! I figured this would be the most exciting of the opening weekend but if Ireland beat Wales with just 14 men, I fancy them to win the tournament.

Not what I’d hoped for.

Very dissatisfied with Wales in particular.

They need a good rucking session.

Loads of talent... fucked off every other ruck when in possession.

Clear out you big red tampons!

Agree with that: Wales nearly managing to pull defeat from the jaws of victory, despite being a man up for 65mins.

Ireland looked solid.

Wales underperformed.

Congratulations to the Welsh players, and Wales. But as a Scots supporter I have to say: "Dammit Zammit".

I thought Johnny May's try was special, but Zammit's was that Welsh wizardry all rugby supporters love but wish happens when they are not playing your team.

Entertaining game once the kick tennis died down a bit.

I really don’t understand why the french changed their tactics for that game but then again... they won.

Maybe it’d been much easier if they’d played like they usually do, or maybe not.

Onwards to the grand slam!

Silly mistakes cost England... jumping across the line in the line outs... blocking runners from kicks, which is one of my biggest bugbears

I think the ref had a stormer to be honest..... not normally the biggest fan of french refs but this one was good

Also... Toby is my lions starting 8.... you have to believe AWJ and Itoje will be the 2nd row..... I think the 2 welsh wingers are in good starting XV shape.... and north at 13....

I enjoy the banter but I am far from anti English and I can appreciate your frustration

I am so pleased to see Faletau back to his best, I was worried he would never make it back but he has proved me so wrong

You can just see from looking that Billy, Mako and Jaimie are totally out of shape. Eddie is totally cutting off his nose to spite his face. There are lads out there playing week in week out in the English Prem who should be there without a doubt

Personal opinion: I’d like to see the bottom team in the Six Nations have a play-off with the top European team in the next tier Rugby Europe International Championships (Georgia, currently), with the winner having a 6N place and the loser dropping down for the next season.

It was an "interesting" game. I'm gutted by how poor England have been for the last 6 months or so, but Wales were the deserved winners.

I personally don't think that the first two tries were "right", but Wales would still have won regardless.

What a really enjoyable game, it would have been nice if the BBC have a bit more evenness in the pre match, half time and post match discussions. 3 against one doesn’t play to the BBC being British - we only really got to hear the English perspective!

"What a result that was. Squeaky bum when it got to 24-24 though "

I still can't quite believe we have won the Triple Crown afterall the negative press we have had

I feel sorry for England

Eddie's stubbornness is crippling the squad

There are guys out there playing 100x better week in week out in the prem that he won't even look at

Silly silly man

"Silly mistakes cost England... jumping across the line in the line outs... blocking runners from kicks, which is one of my biggest bugbears

I think the ref had a stormer to be honest..... not normally the biggest fan of french refs but this one was good

Also... Toby is my lions starting 8.... you have to believe AWJ and Itoje will be the 2nd row..... I think the 2 welsh wingers are in good starting XV shape.... and north at 13....

Watson and Farrell are the only English backs i would take to be honest....

Also... after all these caps... i still dont get what people see in johnny may..."

The silly mistakes costing England I completely agree Fabio, they all know better than that, especially at such a high level game with cameras seeing everything.

Is Farrell the only English player who can kick a ball? Why did he attempt that long range kick? Would have been better to play it and get some flow going, as when they did, England looked good.

If you disallow that outrageous first try, and add the 9 points Farrell missed, I made it a 33-all draw

I’m very pleased with the result.

If they lose enough games then change will have to happen.

Hated Eddie’s appointment at the time and nothing since has changed my opinion of him.

Great Welsh performance.

Toby is nailed on for lions 8 I’d say!

They looked much more fluid than we did when they put phases together and at 24-24 I thought we might be up against it.

The thing for me is that England still don’t have a plan B and Farrell isn’t a leader when things go badly. If his forwards give him an armchair ride, he runs things well.

Anyway onwards to Italy. Sheedy to start at 10 but no major changes and then Paris for a Grand Slam game - fingers crossed

On form I'd go France

But England are desperate for a win

Did make me laugh when the first look on the camera the female tmo said “ooof... that’s close!” ...lol

Whichever way the ref gave that on the field I think you could have stayed with that decision and neither side would have complained

I thought it was a great game, a huge improvement in England's play, especially their discipline. The French played really well too, and won't feel they've done much wrong.

Personally I think it was the best game of the tournament so far.

Not convinced with Maitland at 15 ... he’s not that great under the high ball ... so I expect Italy to keep testing that all day and picking up the fall out
