It's one of those games is it not? I fully expect Ireland to pull away in the last 10. But, but, Italy could just pull off one of the greatest surprises ever. I'm glued to it.

Other than being born or grandparents being born on a country, just by being resident for 36 months.

30 years ago I remember the Wallabies playing this game. 15 years later Ireland, Italy and Scotland turned it into an art-form.

To qualify for italy you have to have consumed either pasta or coffee in the past 15 years.

So that Varney guy likes mac and cheese with a Starbucks then?

And Aki lives above a Pub in Ireland?

Wales simply awful, the 10 point defeat massively flatters them. 7 points from an interception, Farrell missed 10 points off the tee, it could and should have been a 20+ point win. Yet none of this is a surprise.

Deserved, the superior team from the first minute.

Did we ever perform like this in Cardiff under Eddie Jones?
England performed far better than this in Cardiff under Eddie Jones.

The difference is, this Wales team are awful.

Only 200 professional players to pick from is coming home to roost.

The wooden spoon awaits.

They’ve won multiple grand slams in the last few years. By focusing on elite players as Ireland and Scotland do?

Looks like, they talk about this on Scrum V every week, they kept dishing out caps to 80+ cap stalwarts, not blooding youth.

If anyone has France absolutely thumping Scotland they may well be smiling in a little over an hour...

Edit - though the French prop has just done well to even things up.
