    Well done you managed to beat the worst England side for a decade.

    Yes Wales were the better team but even then required the flip side of erroneous refereeing.

    I always feel its such a shame that Nigel Owens can never referee this fixture, simply the best.

    Think the RFU have to look for Eddies successor, we are going backwards under his leadership now.

    Wales will have a good couple of years especially with the new talent that's coming through.

    Then the World Cup will come around and as usual England will remain the shining light of Northern Hemisphere Rugby Union, whilst the other home Nations will simply be happy to keep the "Big Four" within respectability.

    OK that's the touch paper lit.

    That just sounds like a boring old bat beat story.

    Not at all.

    I already stated that the best team won, but looking at Wales performances over the course of the competition shouldnt really give cause for huge optimism.

    They scraped luckily past a 14 man Irish team
    They scraped luckily past a Scottish team who were better on the day.
    They beat a very poor England team on the back of 2 decisions of huge incompetence by a referee who is not even provincial standard from what I saw.

    Don't get me wrong, I want a strong Wales. That means a strong Lions, but until Welsh clubs ditch the provincial style PRO 14, get back to a proper club structure and produce the quality players that are there it wont happen.

    Now its all Ospreys, Dragons, Blues, Scarlets instead of Cardiff, Swansea, Llanelli, Neath, Bridgend, Pontypool and a dozen other famous clubs and lets be honest, the Welsh teams don't even dominate the PRO14 really, they are poor in Europe where only England and France field CLUB teams and would struggle in both the French and English top flight.

    Enjoy the victory, good luck in winning the whole thing and heres to the days when I can sit in the National Stadium as an England supporter eating Peters Pies, drinking Brains S A and have the choral legions raise the hairs on my neck with renditions of Land of My Fathers, Hymns and Arias and Bread of Heaven.

    You arrange the tickets, I'll get the beer.
