Events on the field aside, Paul O'Connell's punditry is superb

Woop. Ireland do a City and wrap up the title early, looking forward to Twickenham next week, hopefully we can add the Triple Crown and the Slam.

Rugby has some seriously shit rules. Why was he yellow carded for a tackle around his shoulder, and why the fuck are penalty tries 7 points rather than 5 with a conversion to come?

High tackles have too much potential to cause skull, neck and spinal injuries, you can't tackle without binding (taking full control of body weight). Same reason you can't dive in two footed over the ball in football. Penalty tries are seven points, always have been.Rugby has some seriously shit rules.

Congrats to Ireland who've easily been the best side, still think England will stop you doing a slam.

You used to have to take the conversion but the rule changed recently. It was alwas under the posts so a formality anyway, which (I think) is why they did away with taking it.

Not sure he has been found out. It's more likely that too many England players lack game intelligence - Vunpiloa, Cole, Knowle and May being prime examples.

All i got to say is well done to Ireland building a strong squad for the World Cup. So many injuries to contend with and we have a strong panel to pick from. The Slam would be the icing on the cake. But the competition is just getting harder and harder to win the 6 nations. I honestly feel the Scots will only get stronger and the Welsh and French will be back stronger next year its weather the Irish and English can be to the level they are at still is to be seen. Some Irish lads have given the selectors problems going forward which is great to see. Stockdale scoring tries for fun too is a joy to see. Last 2 games him first try scorer has been profitable.
