    Hello. Where's this England been for the last few years?

    If they'd not shat the bed at Murrayfield we could have been looking at the unlikeliest of Slams!

    Great match. Could have gone either way. I'm a lot more optimistic about England's trajectory now. Cut out the silly penalties and there's a lot to build on.

    Great advert for the (5 as was) 6 Nations; no wonder the rest of the rugby-playing world tunes in.

    Useful progress for England. They just about know the first 15 now, not something that could be said before the world cup.

    Have to say this 6N has the making of one hell of a British and Irish Lions squad.

    Noticed first in the World Cup and now again in the 6N. Are Irish fans now the most toxic in world rugby? They are literally unbearable when they win and even worse when they lose. England fans are more pragmatic than the Irish and can enjoy a social beer afterwards without toxicity - and that’s coming from a Scot. Not sure where the arrogance comes from - bit strange. Dublin used to be a fantastic trip regardless of the result

    Wainwright possibly? The one stand out welsh player for me.
    Reffell is an outside chance for his turnover rate.

    They’re the two that came to mind for me, but struggling a bit after that.

    I’ve never been to Dublin for the rugby, but surprised to hear this.

    I’ve generally found rugby fans whatever the event very sociable to be around before and after the game, whether the result went your teams way or not, and I still love the way that rugby fans all sit mixed in the ground during the game.

    What makes you say this? As an Irish fan myself I’ve never seen it

    My boss and a few from work were at Twickenham last week and all commented on how good the atmosphere was with the Irish fans

    Olie Lawrence was great yesterday. Admittedly there are a few centres worthy of consideration...

    4 friends were and shared several videos during and after game. Pretty obnoxious. Have been to Dublin a few times and it was ok but the World Cup was full of stories about them also. To be clear it appears to be Johnny come lately fans who are just there to get hammered but aren’t what I’d call true rugby fans. Hopefully it was isolated incidents but I fear otherwise.

    Same with England fans during the world cup. Probably just a bunch of football fans wanting a jolly.

    Probably this. And it's also St Patrick's weekend when getting totally hammered is the pattern.

    Used to do the Dublin trip every 2 years back in the day and it was always fantastic and we were well received.
    Ireland were garbage back then so we tended to win in those days.
    I was in Dublin for the Challenge cup final(Glasgow v Toulouse and Champions cup final (Leinster v La Rochelle) last year and didn't really come across any negative stuff if I'm honest.
    I do maybe get a little sense of arrogance from the Irish supporters now but I think any team's supporters with long term success develops a bit of that and if ever Scotland get to winning regularly I plan to exude some of that.

    We'll be at the HK7s in a few weeks and it'll be the same.

    The last one in the current stadium, so there may be a bit of a send off!
