Epic game. Thats one great game a weekend now which is an improvement

Wales are starting to learn that elusive art of closing out games. The crowd seemed to panic but Wales didn't which kind of shows how far the team have progressed ahead of the fans expectations. How they'd fare against the tighter and cleaner Irish pack at the breakdown and the more reliable boot of O'Gara I'm not sure.

Roberts was taken down a peg or three this evening and wasn't given even an inch of room to do his fast & agile thang but it was the way he responded which will earn him a Lions place: hard yards and lots of grunt which made him look great.

I was cheered up by England but they're killing themselves with their obsession with gifting penalties and not taking theirs. When you add up their chances at goal including the missed conversion and thats 11 points they missed out. If Goode and then Flood had kept their heads England would have closed out the game. You simply cannot do that against Wales who will just punish, punish and then punish you again and punish Wales did.

Worsley was actually pretty good (for a change) but he'll be dire the moment he steps out against Ireland or France. Armitage I thought was much better than he has been since his debut and seems a lot more confident when running, ditto Flutey but this is pointless if England insist on hoofing the ball away.

In the end, fantastic game but the best team won. Game on for a Wales vs Ireland decider!
