Sour? A thumbs up for Wales FFS. My mother will be proud. Wasn't even aware England had come second. (Best performance in 6N in recent years)

Thats how i read it mate

After the shambles (us) in the world cup, to see Wales perform like that (first half against England excluded) through the 6 nations it was a pleasure to watch.

Warren Gatland Shaun Edwards and Rob Howley have perfomed miracles with a team that have always had the potential, thank god we've seen the back of Gareth jenkins

Look: As an Englishman I can only remember and appreciate one thing. 2003. (And the build up over all those years from the early 1990s - I am not a johnny come-lately). That's enough for me. Stay with me - this is not a white shirt beating post!

Since living in Melbourne I am a lot less partisan in general and now just like to watch Rugby.

Too tired to stay up and watch it but have been told it was a fab game - have caught the highlights

Admitedly England won Championships and in those years were often far better than any other team in some ways and were pipped at the post but people only remember the Grand Slams.
and the Calcutta Cup

Sky plussed it ( ok Austar but nearly the same)

Fab game!!!

All the rellies were late calling me today and all had mega hangovers!!

The French must have been sorry for their comments before the game that they werent playing New Zealand or Australia ONLY Wales,,,

HAVE THAT STUFFING!!!!

Looking forward to the summer in South Africe now... They seem more than capable of putting on a better show than in November for the Prince William Cup.

Spoke to my mate today that had tickets to the match - he had a great time at the match but nightmare afterwards - couldn't get into any bar afterwards due to the number of people in Caridff.

No taxis, trains all full and it was heavy rain.

He has a cold now but still said it was best day ever

This will set the cat amongst the pigeons!!
I saw a tee shirt for sale a few weeks ago in Edinburgh - nearly bought it!
It was navy blue with white writing saying -
'I support 2 teams, Scotland, and anyone who is beating England!!
Well done Wales good match, very exciting, I don't ever mind loosing to a fellow Celt!
