Well done to Ireland, holding out to France.
Deserved Six Nations Champions.
Thanks of BoD for 15 great years.

Ireland deserved it overall.

What a cracking tournament this year has been though. I'm really hopeful for this England team's future.

proper rugby response!

Feels like the French just let the Irish in.

If you're saying that certain members of the England team are cocky cheeky chappies I won't disagree with you, and it lets down the dignity with which nearly all other rugby players I can think of operate.

I wish football had more of this great ethos.

BOD was a great role model for anyone. A real privilege to have witnessed this guy play over the years.

the problem with england is the ethos. biased as i am, ireland deserved the championship. england played well, to a point, but their ego took over, as usual!

brown is a good player, but a d!ck.

stop assuming your great, prove it!

I have enjoyed this campaign. IMHO the Martin Johnson era was one of the worse England have been through of late. I always thought the arrogance back then was typified by Ashtons stupid swallow dives. I found the whole thing cringing to witness.

Ashton finally seems to have removed this element, dropping Ashton was the best thing he ever did.

I don't see Brown as anything more than a man growing in confidence and a perfect example of what Lancaster is trying to achieve with the squad and game plan.

Apart from the incredible Brown the two wingers look capable of bamboozling defences even if they have made a few initial howlers.

I don't think May performed at all well

The winger point is an interesting one. Both May and Nowell have been playing well at club level and have rightly earned a shot at international level.

However, I think the days of needing blisteringly quick wingers is over. When was the last time you saw a winger have 10 yards of space on the outside to go around his opposite number? It rarely happens anymore, certainly at international level.

There just isn't the space anymore. Defenses are too well organised and defending teams just crab across the pitch until the touchline becomes a 16th man.

A winger still ultimately needs pace, but they also need power and strength as they are going to be asked to step inside their man a lot in the modern game. George North, Brian Habana and Savea are perfect examples of what the modern winger is all about.

As for the ethos of the England team, it seems fine to me. I'm not fortunate enough to be sat in the dressing room but from the outside they are saying the right things, acting the right way and getting the right results. Lancaster certainly seems to have removed some of the 'behavioural' issues which have plagued recent years.
