FT Excellent game, the Welsh just failed with their superior experience. It looks as though the Irish young ones can build on this. So it's just France and England for the grand slam and just England for the triple crown;

Frustrating from a point scoring point of view to see Biggar go off, as he's really developed into a strong player who dominates the aerial exchanges. Priestland, who I don't normally rate, did well to nail his penalties, but a couple of risible drop-goal attempts shouldn't go unnoticed. Wales rushed the final drop goal attempt...should have pounded Ireland longer to draw a penalty or make the drop goal easier. Poor decision making with so much experience in the side. Had Faletau, so hope he picks up good points to keep me in the hunt.

Yes, after that match I think it's England's to lose.
I liked The Irish attitude with a weakened side. My French friends said in the first half said France are going to lose next week.
I reckon they are just mind playing but it was said in honesty;

[Takeshi Kovacs]

Wales notorious slow starters, so not a bad result in that context.

So let's go over to the next championship decider, England vs Wales

[Takeshi Kovacs]

Wales notorious slow starters (and playing away from home against the team that has won the Championship for the last 2 years) , so not a bad result in that context.
