^ Depends on circumstance really. If we'd won last week and lost to Scotland but still won the Championship it would be a real deflating feeling (like in '09 if Jones' kick went over in Cardiff for example). But you lose before the final day and you've a bit of time to process it and still win a trophy regardless. Grand Slams are hard to come by, we've only ever won 2 so I'll take a Championship all day long
I was hopping off the walls at the end of the England game there. I think we're worthy champions considering how consistent we've been and even in our poorest performance we weren't that far away from snatching a draw in Cardiff, but England served up the best attacking performance today and it's probably between their win in Cardiff and our win against them in Dublin for most complete performance of the tournament.
Can't fuckin wait for the World Cup now. I still think Kearney should be dropped and move Payne to full back, but we'll see. Options everywhere, hopefully Trimble comes back fully fit again and you've got Earls to push back into the squad as well as Fitzgerald maybe becoming a more permanent fixture. Class.

That England game was a bloody mental game of rugby. 55-35 was it or somehing daft like that? Ridiculous.
Who won the tournament? Ireland?

Interesting how close it came in the end. Wales had a bad second half to England that cost them the Grand Slam. Ireland had a bad first half to Wales that cost them the Grand Slam. England had a bad second half to Ireland that cost them the Grand Slam.

Warren Gatland is "extremely worried" about George North's health and doesn't think he should play at all for Saints before the end of the season.
Bet he'll still pick him for the World Cup though. Mug.

Seems like there's a problem with punishment in general in rugby, you can get away with way too much without cards. Can't believe Brown didn't get punished for kicking Murray in the head like.

I'm usually an optimist but I just couldn't see it tonight. And when it was 33-29 I was sure we'd lost it.
Incredible. Robbie Henshaw have my babies

I really dislike him and I'm not even sure why but that was stunning. Especially given the circumstances
