Great kick from Johnny Sexton to give Ireland a close victory over France.
Wales dominant against Scotland in the opening match.

That gives England a lot to take onto the field tonight.
I think they will bonus point against France.
Leave it interesting for next week.

I thought in that match Robshaw was the one Englishman who kept at it the whole time, and was relatively effective.
I know Brown had been dropped, but i think the team miss his enthusiastic, stirring growls from the full back spot.
I think he gets the team going, his replacement didn't. Which was good for Ireland.

I doubt it'll be the same performance next week, can't see England lose three in a row, no matter how much i want Ireland to Slam.
Funny the whole tournament links back to that 40 something phase build and long range drop goal by Ireland in the very first match again France.
Woeful as they were, the desire was there.

Well done Ireland.
I think the current Irish team, as skills, fitness, tactics and squad depth level is possibly one of their best ever.
No individual superstars, but a few coming close.
They play very well as a unit, and hopefully will maintain their depth.
They missed a few players, and it didn't show, even to the point of having your fifth choice centre on the field by the end of tournament.
This is some of the most consistent I have seen Ireland play, might be a year early unfortunately, as people will have plenty of time to pick them apart and indeed try tactics against them prior to next years world cup.
