What a fantastic game of rugby that I can enjoy as a neutral (favouring the underdog Italy). Let's hope England are taking notes. #itavfra #sixnations #m6n

If I were a dying Pope, I would publicly curse a handful of sports teams on my way out just to see if any of em stick

Whoa, look at ‘em go! 🌪️

A fitting way to end a match that was an arm wrestle of low attacking quality. #engvsco #m6n #sixnations

This England performance is a call back to Early Borthwick. I hoped we'd left that behind. #engvso #sixnations #m6n

England are saving themselves so that they can finish the game strongly as they did against France. Possibly. I hope. #engvsco #sixnations #m6n #rugby

The trouble is, once I started imagining they were taking selfies I couldn’t unsee it

Okay! Bet Scotland will be more up for this than last week. Hopefully England can get over the line again. Expecting it to be close. #engvsco #sixnations #rugby

Well, great to see Wales put in a performance like that. Fantastic game. Shows the value of coaching and belief. #walvire #sixnations #rugby

Game Fecking On! #walvire #sixnations #m6n #rugby

Not sure I approve of the Ireland away strip. It looks like they've been decorating. #rugby #sixnations #ireland #walvire

Expect Wales to lose, and it not be close, but hopefully they'll have a new impetus and ambition and take Ire on. #walvire #sixnations #m6n

Darwin: he’s not like Andy Carroll. Contains spandau ballet vs soft cell analogy www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I don’t know about anyone else, but if I was in charge of the uk right now I would march my arse into Brussels this instant, drop my trousers, bend over, and tell the EU they can do anything they want to me as long as they take us back as a member.

I have three reviews to go for the Obs but today, after 180 of them, is my last column for OFM. So I thought I’d summarise my searing advice from the last 15 years: the wisdom, the provocations and the occasional stupidities. Enjoy. Or grind your teeth.

Works as advertised

Heating our home up 5%, turning on the tap up 26% (10% Scotland), logging on to broadband or using a mobile up several pounds a month, big rises in taxing our car. April really will be the cruellest month, especially with benefits rising just 1.7% and state pensions by up to 4.1%

The modern phenomenon of the Haunted Cereal Bowl has bothered me for years

Was hoping Scotland might turn up but very flat. Ireland were good but didn't have to do too much. Bet Sco will play better against Eng! #m6n #sixnations #6nations

Scotland are playing like France, in that they keep making mistakes, but without the attacking flair. #m6n #6nations #sixnations #scovire

Sorry, good game! Cracker! England grew into the game rather than tailing off. Happy man! #6nations #sixnations #m6n #engvfra

What's happened to Eng's attack? I know we needed to stop shipping tries but atleast they were getting at teams. They god for French mistakes. #6nations #sixnations #m6n

England v France. Expect a French win but if Eng can focus for the full 80 they're in with a chance. Hoping for a cracker either way #6nations #engvfea #m6n #rugby

Italy deserving winners. Wales further away than the score suggests but showed some intent at times. #m6n #sixnations #rugby #itavwal

1st game. Difficult. Think I'd prefer an Italy win, but hope Wales can play well. I'd like a 6 nations where all teams are competitive. #sixnations #itavwal #m6n

Theatre review. The Shark is Broken, at The Lowry. Really good. I'm not much of a theatre goer, but make a play about a film? I'm in. Shaw really good as his dad. What's that you say, an Iron? Never heard of it.

If you’re not part of the solution you’re insoluble.

Three weeks into the Trump presidency

I hope people waved back

Ireland firmly on top in the 2nd half. Partly England have dropped off but more Ireland haven't allowed them to play. Murley has had some poor moments. #m6n #sixnatikns #ireveng

'Tighter than a gnat's chuff' is the phrase that springs to mind, if that's not too inappropriate. #m6n #ireveng #sixnations #rugby

Lovely starter. Good to see it become a contest, albeit briefly. Sco deserved winners. Now on to the main course! #m6n #sixnations #rugby

🐦🐦🐱🐦🐦 That's a cat amongst the pigeons. (Italy try). #m6n #sixnations #scoita

Scotland looking all right, they move the ball well. Keep waiting for Sco to push on in the m6n but they never quite do. Would like to see more from Italy. #sixnations #m6n #scoita

He makes himself big

Wanted: those prepared to ignore the evidence of their own eyes.

Great to have the 6nations back, I love international rugby. France look formidable and didn't have to use all the gears. I'm English but I do hope Wales get somewhere back to their best, still looks someway off though. #m6n #sixnations #frawal

No alarms, no surprises. Les Bleus firmly in their stride. Wales are game but it was always going to be a tough first fixture. #m6n #sixnations #frawal #rugby #radiohead

18 minutes for the first score? That's a moral victory for Wales that, better than I thought! #m6n #sixnations #frawal
