Some win by the Under 20s tonight over England. Vast improvement over the French and Italian performances.

Hope the result is as good tomorrow.   

[Ollkiller]

Some performance alright. They were sensational in the second half.

[Carnage]

Very impressive. Hopefully not an exception.

Can't see the seniors doing as well tomorrow but I'd love to be proven wrong.

[Carnage]

Very happy to be proven wrong, I'd say England will be taking the morning after pill after that game. Complete opposite of how I thought it was going to go, the level they should have been at two weeks ago. Triple crown is on the cards if they keep it up.

[John Kimble]

Great performance today. Loathe to give England too much credit but they're always a potential stumbling block and there was a fear this could go their way today, especially based on the performance against France.

That was class. England were a mess and everything went our way as well as an all round much better performance.

[Anvil]

I thought we had very little hope, especially as it was Itoje's 100 cap, and I thought England would have put in a big performance in response to last week's defeat... boy I was wrong, they completely shit the bed and Ireland clicked again. Now we need to just figure out how to keep Rob Balaucoune fit, has hardly been able to string a run of games together for Ulster this past few seasons.

[Ollkiller]

Fucking glorious carry on today. 

[Carnage]

That was a tough watch after the England game. Scotland's game to lose unless Ireland bring it up a couple of levels next week.

[Anvil]

Thought it was going to be a walk in the park after we went over the line for the second time (rightly disallowed try) as we were in complete control at that point, but then we got complacent and sloppy and allowed Wales into the game.   Credit to them, they showed up and had a go. 

[open face surgery]

Enjoyed that massively. Obviously a different enjoyment to the England game but still great to watch.

[John Kimble]

Scotland absolutely on fire here! Obv we want them to beat France but we'll need to seriously step up a gear next week when we meet them.

France falling apart here...

[Anvil]

Why couldn't France have played like that against us?   

Sets it up nicely for next week, going to be a firey encounter, me thinks.

[Bürggermeister]

The Scots should have seen out the game better, they gave France the championship in the last 15 minutes. Scotland should smash us on that form.

[John Kimble]

I'm tempting fate but I don't think they'll smash us. I'd still be worried mind, on their form and ours. Wales brought us back to reality after the England game. I'd always have made the case for Crowley over Prendergast, but his kicking was poor in the last game. It's very hard to call at this stage, which makes for an interesting conclusion.
