CyberPingu: Sep 15, 2013; If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

ITV sure have pulled out the big guns, to make sure their Six Nations commentary team are experienced and impartial! :

Shane Williams
Goradan D'Arcy
Nick Mullins

Mullins is the guy who knows nothing about rugby, and got pulled from World Cup games, after he unironically told viewers that the island of Fiji only had one television, and no electricity.

So hes the Jerry Lawler of Rugby

I don't think D'Arcy's done much tv work, if any. He's a great writer so hopefully that translates well to tv. If he's any good my dreams of Shane Horgan being replaced on sky and rte may finally come true

I'm going to see how much of the ITV commentary I can tolerate before muting the sound.

D'Arcy was a BBC pundit during much of his long injury spells

I'm done already. This guy is preferable to Miles Harrison, though in much the same way that gastric flu is preferable to double-pneumonia.

Welsh fans start singing, Irish fans try to drown it out not with boo's but with Fields of Athenry.

Scottish fans take note.

Put it down for a 22 drop out, or kick out it to give Ireland a 5 metre lineout? Decisions, decisions.

Liam Williams, so smart.

Jumping in tackles is so rude.

Liam Williams seems determined to find contact and ignore the wingers outside him.

Earlys didn't make an attempt to lift him so even a yellow would have been harsh. The only thing he did wrong was not help him fall

With confetti in my hair

Was that intentional by Priestland? It looked quite clever...

It definitely wasn't a drop goal attempt. It was a bit long though.

Legs over head and dropped not in control. I've seen them given. Would have been a shame if it had been but I've seen them given.

Disagree with this. Wasn't so long ago the IRB pointed out that once the legs go past the horizontal, it's entirely the responsibility of the tackler to bring the player to the ground safely. Think yellow (but no more) would have been fair.
