that was the worst scrumming I've ever seen the Irish do and to concede that try at the end! _________________Finally joined Flickr

I honestly don't understand what the hell happened to Ireland, its like they imploded. England are definitely the most improved team in the championship.

I definitely agree. After their stumbling performance against Italy, and not so much the defeat to Wales, I was despairing at their chances of having a good 6N. However, they were superb against France and streets ahead of Ireland in the second half. Can't say too much about Scotland, they deserved the spoon after yesterday's showing, as galling as it is to admit. I do hope Robinson keeps his job, as I can see improvements in their game, but the focus has to be on discipline. Sin bins and penalties cost them a real chance of having a good tournament. Having said those things, Italy have a habit of making the other teams stumble, even if they can't get a win out of it (most of the time). Wales were clearly the class outfit, and I hope they can maintain and continue to improve for the next few years because I'd love to see them challenge for the Webb Ellis next time around.

Can't disagree with anything you say there. If it wasn't for a moment of madness we would have played NZ in the final this time.
