    Switched it off at half-time as my feed was acting up continuously. Game looked pretty tight, both sides focusing on their defensive games.

    So, I'm amazed to see that score-line. Occasion got to the boys, I guess.

    Wales win the Grand Slam and what does Lawrence Dallaglio say when they are re-capping the tournament...........................

    "The big story for me this year is England".

    English arrogance at it's finest. No wonder everyone wants that lot to get stuffed when they play.

    Ireland need a new coach with a fresh apporach, the team has too much talent to play like this

    when Wales beat England in the Daily Mirror they dedicated the two pages of rugby to how well Owen Farrell played...

    anyway...GRAND SLAM BABY

    a grand slam means more to a welshman than his own mother!

    No just the disaster that was the Irish scrum. The game was pretty tight and evenly balanced otherwise. But the Irish scrum was a disaster that just got worse as the game moved along and the English punished us by continually scoring points directly as a result of or from scrum time.

    I would tend to agree. Declan Kidney has had some great moments but it probably is time to move on now. There is talent there no question but we are not performing at the levels we are capable of on a consistent basis and that has been the case now since winning the Grand Slam in 2009.

    Kidney sounds hilarious in his interviews.
