Phillip Matthews
Former Ireland captain on BBC One"Ireland huffed and puffed and there were shades of that phase against Wales. I wondered if they were going to get over the line. But O'Connell got over eventually. What a start from Ireland. There will be cautious optimism for Joe Schmidt and his troops."

Scotland all over the place at the moment, Ireland run from deep again... Scotland get it back, and lose it again... Hogg under a high ball before the referee awards Ireland a penalty for I'm not entirely sure what. Player taken out off the ball, apparently...

O'Brien is held up short... it's a try, Ireland skipper Paul O'Connell finally breaching the Scottish defence...

Ireland and Scotland are in the tunnel at Murrayfield.
Have Wales poured a big bucket of cold water on this final weekend with that mammoth win?
Given Wales' heap of tries in that win in Rome, Ireland need to win by 21 points against Scotland to wrestle the title out of Welsh hands.

A side-effect of that landslide win for Wales is that France have had their frites in this year's title race.
Philippe Saint-Andre's men needed defeats for Wales and Ireland and a win of their own over England.

Shane Williams
Former Wales winger on BBC One"That was one of best second halves I've ever seen in rugby. The tempo at which Wales played was fantastic. But I'm not sure if it is enough for them to win the title - it is borderline. We want France to do us a favour - but I don't think they can beat England."

Leonardo Sarto's try gets the nod from the officials and Luciano Orquera nails a touchline conversion.
Wales' points difference advantage is snipped down by seven but still looks mighty healthy. England and Ireland will have to go some to make them regret not sticking the ball up the jumper late on.
Try reviewpublished at 14:18 Greenwich Mean Time 21 March 2015
Leonardo Sarto breaking out from deep, takes on Dan Biggar on the outside, and dives in at the corner...
Has he kept his footprints on the right side of the whitewash? It looks so on first inspection, but the referee wants another look.
