    It certainly will, especially with the Paddy's day hangover

    England on for the grand slam, think Ireland have it to stop them?

    Total Rugby fan here - Of course with my background I am a proud supporter of the All Blacks, but in the six nations I support Scotland (as they have Tim Visser, so there is a Dutch connection)

    Welshman living in England here with an Anglo-spouse to boot.

    I think England will get a deserved Grand Slam on Saturday but it'll be tinged with disappointment that Wales came within minutes of beating them a month back.

    England have already won the tournament..................

    If they win the final match (against Ireland) they get another Grand Slam. Will be a good match!

    I am English but have a bit of Welsh blood thanks to my granny, so Wales would be my second team that was an intense bloody game.

    That France-Wales game!! 19 minutes scrum?!?! really ref?!?!

    And that was not a good England-Ireland game - Ireland played really well, but England didn't seem to really be trying/caring!

    Yeah the lads must have been out for Paddy's day cos that was not us playing at full capability, hopefully missing the Grand Slam will give us a bit more motivation to up our game.

    That was an intense 20 mins at the end of FRAvWAL, far better game to watch than IREvENG. Roll on the Lions tour!

    I wouldn't have said 'intense'.... The words mum and I were spitting at the tv were more along the lines of 'boring ^&*$ scrums and the $£$& failing of them all the time!'

    and yep 'oh' sums up England game perfectly! :(
