Oh dear........ :roll: Richard, we have a bit to go, but you're talking bollocks.

Completely biased as I am, I of course agree - we have not played well in a few games, yet we have still won.... the mark of a good team.

Just hope we can keep the players, the coaches and the same mentality!

Having a chat with a South African lad on site earlier in the day, all in agreement of a great Welsh, English and S.A team for the next RWC - English and Welsh are looking good, S.A. I think will have a great young team within 4 years.

As said previously, this Grand Slam should be dedicated to Merv.

England 30 vs Ireland 9 :shock: :shock: Not the result I was expecting!!

Well England have certainly proved the doubters wrong this tournament - me included. Didn't see the game so can't comment on quality etc., but the scoreline certainly paints a picture! England finishing 2nd in the table after winning 4 out of 5 and the tw@ts still can't decide on a permanent coach....... they must be having a giraffe FFS. Lancaster has the support of the players and has quite frankly turned the team around in the short time since the RWC.

What the feck happened to Ireland????!!!! Will have to see if I can watch some repeats!

Anyways, congrats to England - fair play.

Scotland....... Oh Dear. That game I did actually get to see unfortunately....... I think it's time for Mr Robinson to move on. Great guy - used to watch him play at Bath, unfortunately he's far from as masterful as coach as he was back row forward.

Well done Wales. Another Grand Slam. You certainly have got some very good players.

Ireland well, only Declan Kidney knows why they didn't turn up.

They turned up alright & to be fair were a bit unfortunate to be 3 pts behind at the interval.

Second half, they were quite simply blown away :guns: :D

Obviously you have never watched Ireland play recently or in the past. Ireland don't give up unlike the boys in white, today they did. We know that the Ross injury made the scum weak but they just gave up, blown away no, gave up yes.
