The Italian heads have dropped. Massive opportunity for Wales to make it bastard difficult for the others.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Another Italian yellow card. Big chance here.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Big call by the TMO and absolutely correct for me.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

47-13 with the conversion to come.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

What a fucking brilliant try!!!!!!

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Shameful stuff from Italy missing tackles and ill discipline.

Its been a trait of Italy in the last few years, last game of the season need a big score they are the perfect opposition.

Ireland put 50 pts plus over them in 07, England won by 41 last year, both lost out on the title by conceding late tries to Italy when trying to pile on more points, Wales will have to be mindful of that.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Another brilliant try!!!!! 59-13. Bloody hell.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

61-13. That is 47-0 second half

 

[jd1981]

To concede a try when you have a line out 2 metres from the opposition try line is embarrassing as good as wales have been Italy have been bad.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That was another 7 points butchered there. Could be important. Italy have been absolutely abject this second half.

Lottery numbers please.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That Italian try could be a massive moment - makes it much more possible for England. Simple for the TMO to give this I think

 

[jd1981]

What's Biggar complaining out blatenley not in touch.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

His foot hit Biggar's head when Biggar was in touch himself but I think his head was still in play. Absolutely the correct decision.

Ireland have to win by 21 points. England by 16 I think although I have lost track of the tries scored situation after that breathtaking second half.

 

[Johnny75]

That's right Paddy. What a great game, hats off to Wales if they win the Championship after that 2nd half.

I think this goes down to the wire.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

I cashed out the 6 fold acca for a €15 profit as Brentford were still losing, and Im glad I did so as they've just conceded a second!

 

[jd1981]

I think it's all over can only see England and Ireland winning by + 10 points.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

My concern is that France now know they are out of it. Depending on their age-old desire to deny England. Mind you I think a 21 point Irish victory is well within the bounds of possibility.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Suspect there may have been a sudden change in the mindset of both the Irish & English squad after that result - be interesting to see how they approach their games now.

They would have known that they needed to win, but not by how much they are going to have to now

We are 16 behind you - if we win by exactly that many do we finish above you on head to head?
