Top Class Win!

[@jrc2194]

Fair assessment, and very true! Maybe not so much about England crushing Wales, but deffinately the AB's at present (and the last 53 years!!)

[@mskenny143]

congrats for the winner,,

[@jaydavies3735]

cracking match come on Wales

[@SixNationsRugby]

Can Italy regroup and cause an upset against England?

[@GrimeDubSKANK]

hi mate. not hating or critisising anything you said, just want to say my view. im welsh and that was by far a poor performance but a wins a win. the confidence is not there because they have just been beaten 8 times on the trot before beating france laast week, over all they need to pull it together and pley just like they did when they had all 3 triple crown ect. NZ are just a top squad thats obvious and they have been for years, and england are only just coming together,not good last year or2

[@TheLikkio]

Sure! Impossible is Nothing :D

[@hol2301]

W Italia!

[@GrimeDubSKANK]
