Tim England fan

The afternoon's entertainment commenced with grown men (Commandos) throwing themselves off the roof of Twickenham - and it could have been the same story at the end of the game, so disappointing was it for England fans.

Not even the streaker cheered us up for long!

A crowd who have been used to turning up expectant of a win felt different this time - desperate for one.

Without taking credit away from the least ambitious French side I have ever seen, England were architects of their own downfall.

This team can get better but Robinson must select a proper kicker From Martin Have your say on Scrum V

Hodgson had a personal nightmare - he will know this more than anyone - in failing to build on two sharp tries.

To be fair these tries were out of character for a very sluggish and clumsy England XV - who nevertheless dominated possession and territory in the first half, and had our place-kicking been any good we would have been out of sight at half-time.

The second half was like watching a car crash in slow motion, self destruct button firmly pushed and Yachvilli made sure it stayed there.

Robinson was unable to bring leadership and game-changing fizz from so far back; Betsen was head and shoulders the star of a really lacklustre French team, with Lewsey similarly excellent.

We seem a team shackled by fear of failure - perhaps with nothing to lose against Ireland we will put on a show to be proud of.

Milligan Ireland fan

Well needless to say I'm a happy punter right now.

Not necessarily because we put 40 points on our old Scottish brethren but because I've honestly never seen an Irish pack play better, especially the big men.

As someone who danced the odd jig in the engine room (many moons ago) I found this particularly gratifying.

It was also pleasing to see a few Scots further enhance burgeoning reputations for a certain minor happening in the summertime, and they scored the prettiest try of the game by a country mile. Lovely stuff.

I did find Ronan O'Gara's tactical kicking to test Paterson and the Scottish midfield's attacking capabilities very interesting.

The pack were splendid after a dodgy start From SB Have your say on Scrum V

So then two weeks now and then bring on the spluttering juggernaut that is team England.

I have a feeling they're going to be rude and decide to play a bit, and maybe even kick the odd penalty too, but I wouldn't bet the farm on that one.

Finally I feel the need to scotch a nasty rumour that two Irish fans (bout ye Gerard and Jack) were seen in Diane's pool hall in Edinburgh at 10am on Sunday morning.

I won't entertain such salacious, malicious drivel, as if you'd ever be finding an Irishman in the devil's tap room on the Sabbath, I mean really.

Although as I wasn't there either it's tricky to verify this one way or the other.

Adi Scotland fan

With 20 minutes gone and 8-0 up I thought, we can win this!

It was never going to be that easy, Scotland chose the next 60 minutes to put in a truly appalling performance with only Jason White, Chris Paterson and Andy Craig fronting up, and Dan Parks backing down!

It was an excellent game by the dominant Irish pack, in which O'Connell and O'Kelly were exceptional.

After running France close, I think most fans were expecting Scotland to give a weakened Ireland side a real scare.

If Parks can't consistently provide Scotland with decent field position there is absolutely no reason to include him From AM Have your say on Scrum V

We'd lost bravely by seven points in France, the difference this week was 27 points on the scoreboard but light-years in terms of ability, skill and application.

In seven days we've gone from "run close" to "run over".

The skill levels in the Scotland side are currently low, this isn't about pro-teams, club sides or funding, it's about our best fifteen guys against their best fifteen guys and you'd hope we could find fifteen (paid professionals) that could at least catch and pass.

The only "drop" I want to see is Parks to the bench!

A weekend off now before the game against Italy, confidence within the squad must be low and if the coach can't lift them to produce a winning performance, it will be another disastrous season for Scotland and a flight back to Sydney for the coach.

Cynffig Wales fan

Few people can have realised the contribution made to the Welsh victory over Italy by a Valleys boy, Caradog Fulgoni, who filmed an Italian training session under cover.

He said that so successfully did he manage to mingle anonymously with the handful of spectators there, that no one realised he had a camcorder concealed in his diver's suit.

Unfortunately the grainy and steamed up images were of marginal use.

Despite reservations about the Welsh pack, they have now managed to hold two very strong ones in England and Italy.

Openside Martyn Williams surely booked his Lions place with his non-stop display, and the score exceeded anyone's wildest expectations.

But the loose kicking out of hand is a real worry. France would surely punish that severely, though the type of breakaway tries France conceded to England are precisely what Wales are best at.

Shane, Gareth Thomas et al would pour through those channels in two weeks time.

Perhaps the men in white coats are already at the door, but I'll take Wales by 20 points.

Tip for the future: look out for hulking, dynamic young prop John Yapp.
