Something that seemed obvious in the Cardiff and Ospreys games yesterday was a distinct lack of power and size. You can have all the skill in the world in the backs but if you are losing the collisions all game or trying to manage firepower through defence for long periods you are bound to tire...

I really want to avoid slamming refs because to the winner it looks like bad sport and I get that. The Ulster knock on in the lead up was a difficult one to take as it was just so clear to everyone. Then to have no TMO scrutiny is disappointing, which is why I think the Carre situation has...

The football analogy probably wasn't the best given how funding works in football. He was demonstrating that you need competitive clubs to increase interest in the sport. But he's not wrong overall. I think the reasons grassroots rugby is struggling in certain areas of Wales is due to complex...

Earl has been absolutely immense at times and is the clear winner of this for me. The performance against Ireland was a true test against an Irish backrow that was too much for almost everyone to that point. If he continues the form I expect him as the Lions 8.

Who got motm?

Wow! Great try. Ford’s tap on lovely, Smith timed the pass very well! Last 5 are going to be fun!

Smith is class, but he just needs to keep his head here, got a bit rattled, led to a poor clearing kick.

Earl is absolutely on fire. What a player.

Hint of a double movement, but that was really good from England to score there

Fickou won’t be happy with that.

Oosh. Now that’s got be up there for try of the tournament!

Henshaw and Dors won’t be happy with the defence. Weak.

No sight of that touching the ground so no try. Clear yellow now though

Well. I wasn’t expecting Scotland to be in this. If they can find a bit of bit of territory and get some front foot ball like they did in the first half they might have a chance here

No try for me

There’s been a lot of talk of dragging players over to hold them up as the reward is the drop out. I know there was an adv here anyway, but I think it’s a highly risky strategy for this reason!

Grady for Tompkins has been the right call. Finally Mason getting a run at centre and not the wing.

Costelow needs to come off now. Far too many mistakes.

Fair play to Italy for being clinical, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen Wales play this badly.

Wales are looking a little bit defeated here. Mistakes creeping in… can’t see what they are trying to do in attack and Italy are making it look easy to defend.
