    Yes:

    5th: £1.5m

    6th: £1m

    If Ireland fail to win the Grand Slam, the £1m prize for that gets distributed evenly between the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth placed teams: £200k each <cheers>

    So many rules in Rugby Union.

    Baffling.

    The ref is standing right there, as well as a video ref <doh> That's worse than the red that was given (should have been a yellow). Well done Ireland though, best team. Saying that, if they'd played France this weekend I think they would have lost.

    As for Wales... great first 20 and a decent last 20 but blown away in between. I'm more optimistic after that game though.

    The Under 20s were thrashed 67-17 by France last night: literally, a case of Men against Boys - the French were huge.

    France should have had 2 red cards - Argentinian ref only gave yellows. Both were worse than the English red card the previous day.

    The first incident was in the first minute, whilst the second was a few minutes from the end.

    That said, the French would have won comfortably with 14 men - indeed, they dominated the 10 minutes whilst the player (Hooker) was off the field, scoring 2 tries.

    It's ludicrous - they might as well do the draw for the next world cup now!

    Could mean a semi-final slot for either England or Wales - a quarter final match between them is possible

    This is the Lions team - plus bench - that Warren Gatland has said he would select based on this season’s Six Nations:

    Gatland's Lions team: Hugo Keenan (Ireland), Duhan van der Merwe (Scotland), Huw Jones (Scotland), Sione Tuipulotu (Scotland), James Lowe (Ireland); Jonathan Sexton (Ireland, capt), Jamison Gibson-Park (Ireland); Ellis Genge (England), Dan Sheehan (Ireland), Tadgh Furlong (Ireland), James Ryan (Ireland), Maro Itoje (England), Jack Conan (Ireland), Josh van der Flier (Ireland), Caelen Doris (Ireland).

    Replacements: George Turner (Scotland), Andrew Porter (Ireland), Zander Fagerson (Scotland). Jonny Gray (Scotland), James Ritchie (Scotland), Alex Mitchell (England), Owen Farrell (England). Robbie Henshaw (Ireland).

    Not a Welshman in sight - can’t disagree with that at present <cheers>

    I only saw the second half but Saracens always looked the more likely but a missed opportunity for the Os, certainly. Those consecutive throw-ins that went to Sarries players, one of which was the gifted try, killed the game. Awful penalty count as well.
