Bit of a damp squib that.

Scotland fought like trojans
Great to win it, but serious concerns about the irish team going forward.
Thank feck. What a relief. Throwing that away would have been brutal. Scotland defence was brilliant. Credit where it’s due. Delighted for O’Mahony. They won it for him.
Ireland’s point difference at the end of the tournament is +54. Next best is +0. Fair to say that’s a well deserved win.
Shows how high Ireland's standards are that winning the six nations with a plus 84 score difference feels like an anticlimax.
England easily the best side in it.
O Mahony is gone it seems.
If you had offered me an Ireland 17-13 Scotland scoreline before kick off, I would have snapped your hand off. Will take it as thought we’d get absolutely trounced today.
Ah come on now. You were playing to win a triple crown. Surely you were hoping for a win?!
Ah the bookies didn't think so.
All hopes were dashed after last weeks Rome embarrassment. You’d have been mad to have any inkling of hope we were going to win today.
All I was hoping for was to keep the scoreline respectable, and not turn it into a cricket score & especially with our Dublin record, which we did.
I was out all day so missed almost everything.
Delighted for Italy. They should have had 3 wins this tournament. Fair play to them.
Watched the second half of Ireland Scotland. Fairly grim showing.

Think we need a try before half time.
As a kid watching rugby, when it was much less running game, they were the only team who could do things like that.
Seriously Angus that is soft as feck
Ye need something, the French backs look in the mood.
Australia had a similar style. Historically they are the successful example of flair based Rugby.
Yeah, the French were the only ones in the Northern Hemisphere I meant.
Get in 
That was quite enjoyable.
Yeah, used to watch the FIVE nations and whenever the ball went towards a teams own try line, you knew almost every country was touching it down or picking it up and quickly hoofing it.
Then there was France…
Players like Serge Blanco
picking up a ball a few yards behind their own try line and turning and running it out. I literally used to sit forward in my seat and think “here we go!” 
.Theres something about great sport being played with freedom and flair… France at rugby, Brazil football, Ronnie snooker, West Indies cricket.

Ollie Lawrence is handy.
He’s a bit like Tuilagi - just with working hamstrings
This game has changed?
