    Everyone says so - Finn Russel is a game-changer. Either for the good... or the bad... and its very bad today!

    He has been utter mince, cost us points, and wasted opportunities. He does not deserve to play in the next game.

    And another thing! If he laughs after *-up once more then he should never play for us again!

    I'm fed up with him - he's occasionally marvellous, but usually a liability!

    *!

    Hard fought and eventually well deserved.

    We refused to crumble.

    Decent performance against Italy this weekend although we did miss the opportunity to make the score even bigger then 56-19 with some sloppy defending in the second half. On the down side tt seems we have lost Robbie Henshaw to a shoulder injury for the final 3 games which is a massive blow as he is so key for us in the center there and it is an area we really don't have depth in.

    It really is. Aside from the fact he is one of our top players center is arguably the position we have the least amount of depth in so the loss is double.

    Absolutely. We needed him in that channel to stand any chance of an upset at Twickenham, in my opinion. Really need the Scots to do us a turn now.

    Even against Wales I would say too. I know Earls can do a decent job at center but he is so small against Wales and England no thanks. Plus he is playing great out on the wing so why disrupt that part of the team as well as losing Henshaw at center. Maybe Chris Farrell from Munster to start at center. It would be a risk as he has no 6 nations experience but he is a big lad to put it mildly and he has played well for Munster this season.

    It would certainly put Scotland right back in the mix thats for sure which would be a great turnaround after the horror show Scotland put on in Cardiff.

    It could be a really interesting tournament.. maybe even going to the last game.. with the England v Ireland game probably a decider in one way or another..

    It is very finely balanced for sure with really anybody capable of beating anybody except Italy. Probably as balanced and competitive as the 6 nations has ever been really.

    Still think the English are massive favourites, but if we can beat them, who knows.

    It will make Ireland v Scotland some occasion.
