I was on the edge of my seat, it was a fantastic game, I'm always torn when Wales play Ireland, I'm Welsh born and bred, but my mother was Irish, so we always had to shout for both sides growing up

Both Ireland and Wales will be utterly shattered after yesterday's performance and both have to play in less than a week. Scotland and France are the fortunate beneficiaries of this. At least Wales don't have to travel, but Ireland have to jump on a plane.

Tonight 8.05
Are they just trying to confuse us? We've had 16.45 kickoffs, 14.25 and now 20.05 on a Friday. What next? Wednesday 18.22? Anyway. C'mon Wales knock the French off their unjustified winning streak!

Red and white tonight - for one night only.

Pretty much depends on which French team turns up that will determine the pattern of the game.

Haven't seen the teamsheets yet but both at full(ish) strength should provide a good game.

Wales odds on favourites. Hope they justify the bookies confidence.

Here goes......National anthems coming up soon.

Emotions high in this household.

All anthems (apart from England's gloomy dirge -  "Jerusalem" would be better or the theme tune to "The Archers" as suggested by Lenny Henry) are stirring.

"Delilah" really isn't doing it for me - theme song for some USA based ex Welshman.

I made a few pennies on the Ireland/Wales draw (great odds - most lucky) - Wales with a clear 10+ point win for me tonight.

"Bread of Heaven" - more like it. Tingly stuff.

Dull, dull, dull first half and not all to do with the English referee.

England will walk this 6 Nations Tournament.

9 points win - I got close with the 10+ point margin but lost my pennies.

Forgot that we (England) still have the Irish to beat at the weekend - not quite a walk home yet.

Nothing I've seen thus far to really frighten them, though apart from the fact that....

....there's always 25+ green shirts on the field when Ireland play England!

 Lack of singing from the Welsh fans says it all for me - but a win is a win  :)

I'd built myself up for this one but it was dreadful. Only bright spot was that a lucky bounce and woeful defending allowed George North to carry on his try scoring revival. You might have missed it. He was travelling close to the speed of light.
