Wales do what they're really good at - yellow card!

Nah, as much as I wanted England to take that match, there's no way the fourth official could (or should) give that. Bloody good match though. Tualagi, Strettle, Farrel and Robshaw were outstanding for England, not sure about Parling yet and I disagree with those who say Lee Dickson had a good match, slow ball is crap ball, and nobody was slower than him. Wales edged it, as far as deserving the win, IMHO. North, Halfpenny and Warburton were stunning, even Philips had a good game (I can't stand him) but Priestland hasn't done himself any favours with that performance.

LOL Yes winning. Its such a shame that England can only seem to score tries through flukes other wise known as charge downs.  Oh Hang on but they didn't even succeed in doing that in this game. ( Sorry I couldn't resist )

Yeah, all those flukes really helped us win the world cup. How did those red cards help you in your endeavour?  How does that song go again? "With Sam as our captain, we took the flight home!"

Well in the last world cup I don't think you even made the semi's............. I think you'll find we were on much later plane that you were.

It is a shame that it came down to a decision that some see as controversial, but as already noted, they could not award the try and they did look at the footage for quite some time. Anyway, you had eighty minutes to win the match, don't pretend that you lost it on the basis of a tough video ref call!

Good match today. When France had a pop at a drop goal in the final minute, time (and my heart) just stopped. Bloody close finish, but a just result - it's normally England that chips away with three pointers, whilst the opposition hammer home the tries; so it was nice to England doing it. Three lovely tries too. I can't see France overturning Wales, not in their current form; despite the pretty turgid Italy match on Saturday. And my lot get to fight over the spoon with Italy, again.

Sadly I'm not so sure I think Wales will win the championship but not so sure about the slam. I don't think the score line against Scotland reflected the reality of the game at all I thought Scotland played really well. And Yes I think the English deserved to win they have really really improved.

Oh fer crying out loud.
You bunch of frikkin hams, the idea is to score tries, not collect yellow cards and penalties!
Aargh!

Gripping, ground-out win by Wales to secure the Grand Slam!
Great match.
