Excellent performance from the team and those that came on as replacements. Our front row really stood up and were counted. Remember a couple of years ago in Twickenham and they were hammered. As well as great scrum they got through some excellent work throughout the pitch particularly Best.
Henshaw just gets better and better and the partnership with Payne is getting more stronger as well.
As time and the games progress Sexton is becoming more and more vital to everything. Hopefully the hamstring is ok. Losing him for Wales is almost unthinkable.
A massive team performance and effort.
There is no doubt that Italy are playing better year on year. Everybody watching could see how much it meant to them to defeat Scotland on Saturday. The focus for them now is to become more consistent in their performances. They need more than the odd victory every now and then.
It's confirmed Sean suffered concussion so he have to follow protocols, might miss Wales game in two weeks time??
Good bye Ireland!

We have a saying that there's absolutely no point starting a sentence with if, would be translated like 'If aunt Mary has a dick she'd be uncle Joe'
At the minute IRELAND is the only team who's unbeaten, England to play against France in last round.
After all I personally don't see any point with these kind of theories.
Good bye Ireland!
Thanks Ketchup
The only likely scenario where points difference will matter is where Ireland lose to Wales, and England win both their remaining home matches against Scotland and France. In that scenario, Ireland may not have a great enough points difference to win the Championship, and would likely look back to Rome, and think they missed an opportunity to put more points on the board.
Though as I said earlier, good luck to Ireland, it would be good to see them win a second Grand Slam in a few years, especially in a World Cup year.
