twas a crap game of rugby, and the scoreline flatters england as the irish flyhalf (Ronan O'Gara) should have landed 4 more penalties, which would have led to a 26-13 score, and a much better reflection of the balance of play.

On the other hand, Carnegie scored 2 converted tries in the last 5 minutes of their National Trophy Quarter Final against Birmingham-Solihull to take the match 26-24. They will now face either 2nd place Exeter, 3rd placed Nottingham or Moseley in the semi final for the opportunity of a trip to Twickenham in April.

Oh, and my grandfather used to talk about a 0-0 he'd seen back in the 50s-60s, IIRC Wigan-St Helens at Odsal or summat like that. End to end stuff, loads of brilliant play & superb defence from both sides. Says it was the best game he ever saw.

the only reason England lost players to the sin bin was stupidity on their part

Best game of Rugby i have EVER seen

Totally, how many sin binnings in this six nations is that now?

6 in 3 games. Most of them stupid too. when the ref says to the captain next infringement like this and I'm sending someone to the bin, so what happens at the next breakdown?

The Times did a large piece on the sin bins, and broke down the number of points they have conceded whilst a man down. They would be on for the slam if it weren't for indiscipline. Still, Engalnd wouldn't have deserved a win on Staurday, they were aweful, and as were Ireland. The entertainment level of all the England 6 nations games I have seen has been near zero.

True, it was an interesting contrast to the match on Friday night.

In what way..... Warrington we're rubbish according to everyone bar Jimmy Lowes.

I was referring to France v Wales.
