    Definitely not keen on Brown playing wing. Was there for two shaky years without tries prior to the joyous times lest we forget

    Yeah I was surprised yesterday when Cips came on at 15. I'd have rather he came in for Burrell personally so we didn't have to shift Brown onto the wing.

    I'd also like to say that I thought Nigel Owens was fantastic yesterday. Thought he handled the occasion extremely well

    I think in general you'd be better off playing with two proper wingers.

    But based on just the Six Nations, I think the stronger line up would be with three full-backs across the back three, rather than two wingers and one of the full-backs.

    Rush him to the burns unit

    What was the best decision of the tournament?

    Sir Ian McGeechan

    To keep the final Saturday with three consecutive kick-offs. This was the best day the Six Nations has ever had, for drama, excitement, tries and building enthusiasm and anticipation for the World Cup in the autumn.

    Gavin Mairs

    Staggered kick-off times. The coaches may not like it, but it made for the most compelling drama to give the championship a firecracker finish on a day that will be etched into Six Nations folklore. Just shows what is possible when the intent is there.

    Daniel Schofield

    Giving Jonathan Joseph a shot at outside centre. Probably more by accident than design, but Joseph’s performances have solved a long-standing problem for England.

    Brian Moore

    The decision of referee Steve Walsh to retire.

    I think that was one of the stranger decisions, Burrell was stinking up the place and bringing him off for Cips would have a much better decision as the game was all over the place and Watson's pace and finishing may have helped rahter than all the rejigging!

    Standard "ugh, Goode" styley comment, obvz.

    What do you guys reckon about Hartley as captain? I obviously don't know much about NH rugby but from what I've heard it sounds like he shouldn't even be near the team on form, never mind captain? That's not even taking into account his disciplinary record?

    William Hill offering $3 odds for Hartley to be sin binned throughout the 6N and $17 to be sent off (red card)

    Would be very surprised if he got red carded.

    He'll be on his best behaviour.

    Disgusting appointment though.

    I can see why he was appointed - as an experienced leader there isn't a better choice. But his record should have disqualified him from the equation instantly
