Just watched Italy win Thier first six nations in 36 attempts.
Amazing last minute try and the emotional outpouring was a joy to behold.

Absolutely brilliant. And unexpected. Great try. |  |

It was wonderful to see them so elated after getting their first six nations win in seven years. I've wonderful Italian family relations so it means something to me too. |  | | |

The French team is special but England put in a good shift, hopefully it'll spurs us onto some positive changes.
Never seen a ref get in the way so much though and I don't understand why when we got the ball over the line but held up the ball gets kicked back to our half, what's that about??? |  |

I'm not 100% but if you get over the line but don't ground it, the defending side get a drop out from under the posts. | |

Yeah I got that bit but why, surely that discourages attacking play, doesn’t seem right that you’ve done the hard work to as good as get a try then the ball gets punted into your half. Massively favours the defending team. | |

Another new rule change brought in over the last year or two.It does seem a strange rule that you have to give back the ball because it wasn’t grounded.Didn’t it used to be a 5m scrum? |  | | |

I think it did, with the attacking side getting the put in. | | | |

Which seemed more logical than losing the ball from a strong scoring position. | | | |

Yes it was a 5m attacking scrum. Not sure why they changed this. |  | | |

An amazing win for Italy, however not sure whats happening to Wales just at the moment, they've really fallen apart frankly since Gatland left, the Pivac results have been pretty porr on the whole and losing at home to Italy yesterday surely is the final straw, I just don't get why they keep picking Alun Wyn jones, it really is time for him to go now, amazing what he's managed to do but frankly they need to look to the future and the next 18 months or the next world cup could be embarrassing for them. | | | |

Forgot to add of course Wales lost Shaun Edwards who's now backs defence coach with France and you can see how much he'[s improved them maybe the true key man for the change in France since 2019 World Cup. | | | |

Brilliant by Italy, and hopefully they can push on from here and give a slap in the face for those who want to see South Africa in their place |  |

I thought the ref gave france a fair bit, the first scrum was basically an england penalty as the french guy couldnt support his own weight but he penalises us. Set the tone for the whole game |  |

Superb. I ever understand why the give the MOTM 3 minutes before the end of a game.
It's like giving the gold medal to an athlete who can be over taken in the last few strides a race.
This win was the moment of the tournament.
Much as I love Irelands performances . This Italian win was pure gold. | | | |

Not so far back. But it did remind me a bit of Gareth Edwards for the Barbarians back in the 80s, that fantastic side step to leave the fella diving into the empty space fabulous | | | |

That was about 72.... possibly 73? | | | |

Pivac will surely be gone, which opens it up for Edwards to take it on and he'll most likely be great. Was half hoping England would get him after the WC next year, when Jones leaves. He's a class act and a top manager in the making. |  |

I've just been reading up on this and the new law is supposed to reward good defensive play and speed up the game.
The goal line drop out must be taken without delay, travel at least 5m (so not able to tap and run) and cannot go out on the full. |  |

Galthie has built a huge coaching ticket that has transformed the national team, but the Anglophone world goes "must be all Shaun Edwards", quite amusing |  | | |
