From an Irish fan, England brought a high intensity from the start of the match. They had fast ruck speed and found space. They looked very sharp and outplayed Ireland in large parts of the game. The only positive for Ireland is that they were outplayed, but they scored some good tries, and it still could have gone either way at the end. Even when we were 2 points up at the end, i still thought Eng were going to win with the way the match had went.

[@CagedPaps]

As a Scotland supporter, the weekend probably was the best so far. Previously Italy getting close was kind of nice but ultimately drew/lost. The draw against France with the controversial pen. Scotland losing to France and the final controversial try. The first decent game seemed like Scotland England. Nothing against the Irish but I didn't want the final weekend just to be Ireland confirming their GS. They're still going to win (even if they lose to Scotland with a BP). But at least the final GW meant something for other teams. Scotland losing is bittersweet, no chance to win really, apart from a massive win over Ireland. But great to see Italy get the win they deserve and not just over a poor French or Welsh side. England causing what was an upset has lit this Championship. It was pretty poor before if we're all honest. At least we had a weekend of 2 unexpected results. But not because the ref forgot the laws of the game but because England and Italy won their games.

[@expressoevangelism80]

At last I can see some potential in the guys that have been gathered. There are 3 potential men to spark an attack. There are 2 or 3 pivotal key players, who can change direction at will. There are potentially 4 or 5 players who can quickly recycle the ball and stop an attack. If we can find ways of tackling large and fast wingers, then we should have all bases covered. It could be interesting watching how it develops over the next couple of years.

[@DeMontarey]

Many are saying that the rushed defense we saw (something the Springboks do) was due to the influence of the assistant coach who joined from the Springboks (sorry, I forgot his name). We cannot ask the panel this, but it would be interesting to hear comments. I think this rushed defense was a big factor and surprised the Irish somewhat.

[@timseytiger9280]

Just shows Ireland are suffering a world cup hangover. None of their performances this year have been up to standard, it's just been poor opposition and France. England are the first to expose them, but I think its Ireland dropping back not necessarily england advancing.

[@iambeowulf9325]

What a load of nonsense. If you can’t see improvement in Englands performance then you need get a decent pair of glasses. Ireland are not temporarily ‘dropping back’, they have been stagnating because they’ve had almost exactly the same personnel for quite a few years now. They’re not just starting to pay the price for that now, they paid that price during the World Cup. Most of the key members of that squad will be well into their mid 30s by 2027 where Farrell will find himself in a very similar situation to Warren Gatland unless he starts blooding more young players.

What part of that England performance was comparable to the previous year of england performances? They have very clearly advanced. Ireland have possibly slipped a bit but they've looked very tidy in the other games. I think they struggle vs a blitz D.

Why do every pundit on all the podcasts ignore the try that never was by England. An England player throws a pass with his foot firmly in touch, a line out to Ireland , instead seven points to England. No one doubts it was refreshing to see England play the way they did, but for the TMO and the linesman to let that pass was pure robbery. Applaude England for finally playing rugby as we all agree, but if the shoe was on the other foot what would the pundits be saying? Ireland win by default? It was a crazy decision to let that go it was so blatant and not as if the TMO didn't see it, impossible for them not to see it. I'm glad to see England let loose for once but don't talk about a new dawn for England, it was nothing of the sort, they always could have played with ball in hand instead of George Ford kicking the rubber off the ball,. The only reason they got to the semi final of the world cup was because of the group they were in, the quarter finals were a travesty, South Africa, France, Ireland and New Zealand pitted against each other, does anyone really believe England would have beaten any of them in a quarter final? So stop getting carried away with this win won on a try that should never have been allowed. That's the reality.
