SCOTLAND EXPECTS...

After the most awesome final 10 minutes last weekend against Ireland, where the Scots, having given up a 21-5 lead, uncharacteristically put pressure on the opposition to force the errors and resulting penalties, that allowed them to squeeze ahead and secure a rare victory, the nation expects them to do it again today in Paris, where they have not won since 1999.

IRELAND BACK ON THE HORSE

OATH reporter Dan McGuinness watched the game from his couch and fed through his analysis of their thrashing of Italy yesterday.

CJ Stander, Irish record breaker, scores again

Ireland bus got there on time this week and restored morale with a big win against rugged Italy. Apart from 2 hat-tricks and bonus point win, Paddy Jackson kicked everything and linked up almost every move. Momentum back but not getting carried!

ONE POOR KICK, ONE AWESOME PASS

Is that what test match rugby has come down to? One awful clearance kick from Jonathan Davies, the wrong man in the wrong position off the wrong foot, and seconds later, having received the ball from Ford in midfield, Owen Farrell delivers the most awesome, accurate bullet pass to Daly, who never breaking stride, gets on the outside of Cuthbert to score in the corner to win a game that like last week, England should never have won.

Game, set and match...

OATH roving reporters, Mark Jones and Tony Harjette were there - what did they think?

Mark Jones of Trebanos: So big day arrived and the usual buzz of Wales v England. The odd pre match comment of Wales employing daffodil throwing goats to frighten the English were not seen but the atmosphere was intense. The match was a gripping and when England pressure led to an 8-3 lead we feared the worst. But the Welsh fightback was awesome. With Wales back row dominant. England seemed shaken and Wales seemed in control only to lose it in then in a way which has become too common. An unfortunate kick in field and England cool heads took their chance. Ifs whats and maybes don't count but it is hard for a layman to understand why we did not take our kicks when offered or why we substituted players who were going well so early in second half. All in all a great game but frustrating to us Welsh. 

Did Wales lose it or England win it is a matter of some debate but the important point is who has most points after 80mins, and these games have never been predictable although we Welsh will need to lick our wounds and move on. At least we did not see a bank of daffodil throwing goats!!!

Tony of Harrow: The day started like a normal morning on a packed tube, except alcohol was being consumed and this train was full of Eddie Jones disciple's off to Cardiff.  The city a buzz, with the Welsh keen to reply to Sweet Chariots about putting it where the sun does not shine. 

However at the end of the day its about taking your chances and boy do this group know how to do that. The only unbeaten side after round two, come on boys.

Tony did send a pre-match photo of him and lots of excited English fans...well most anyway
