Ireland - 16 11 - Italy
England - 19 26 - Wales

"For the home fans, it was like watching a nightmarish film where the swashbuckling hero stands over his stricken foe with sword raised, ready to administer the coup de grace, only for him to then trip over his own feet, drop his weapon and knock himself unconscious.

His surprised enemy then gets up off the deck and strolls off into the sunset with the treasure and the girl."

This is such an accurate representation of what England did it's not funny. We were so on top in the first half only a lack of finishing stopped us from being out of sight at half time. We could easily have had 3 more tries and were playing some REALLY GOOD rugby. The game was ours until England went to UTTER SHIT. Kicking aimlessly, PASSING aimlessly, really really dumbfoundingly poor basics. Such an incredible turnaround for the worse I have never seen :(

Ireland were distinctly unimpressive as well and Italy did decently but without much excitement. Hopefully the standard will be raised for the rest of the games.
