Most entertaining thing of the weekend?

What for you has been most entertaining?

Listening to Jonathan Davies describe the Welsh performance last night as a 'great win'.

Whatever you say, Jiff.

Noh fullback Noh fullback!

None of the above.

Has to be Scotland's open field play and home-made pasta recipe. Tasty stuff!

Referee Tim Wigglesworth taking a kicked ball full in the face makes second place.

The thread demanding Jamie Roberts makes the Lions test team is the absolute funniest thing all year.

Scotland and Italy played by far the better rugby. The other four should have taken a leaf out of that one.

Hoggs 1 handed interception and 80 meter sprint.
Who said u can't catch with 1 hand.

Hogg should be an option.

Exceptional player

Scotland scoring 4 tries .

Surely he's booked his ticket here. Maybe 3rd in the queue but lots of future potential for sure.

15. Hogg
14. Halfpenny
11. North

With Bowe injured and Cuthberts dodgy defence there is every chance that back 3 could happen.

Two of the worst refereeing performances I have ever seen.

How on earth can Clancy or Garces be allowed to adjudicate such high profile matches....?

Considering the amount of money generated and spent at the OC Nations it is a crying she that the IRB leave us with such refereeing dross.

Most entertaining?

Well I made a huge bonfire at our campsite, the flames danced like a vintage O'Driscoll, and did the slow burn and suffocation usually expected from an English pack of forwards.

When you lot win in France I'm 100% positive that you'll be calling it a great win, considering how difficult it is to do and how infrequently you/we do it.

I'm not sure I see what is wrong in the statement? 'Great win'. Like great pass. Or great run. Or great scrum. I had a great Sunday dinner today and told my in laws exactly that. Is it not a good thing to beat the French away from home?

Lets be honest, a lot of people will find any excuse to moan about Jiffy.

My favourite moment was Howley and Edwards' high five attempt yesterday.

Well Hogg's try was brilliant and hilarious almost a Buster Keaton feel about it. Was Orquera off before he touched down? He had his coat on pretty quick. How sad one week the 10 they always wanted the next a pantomime villain. But the best moment for deffo was the joyful exuberance of the North try. The artistry of the approach and gather, the sublime dive, left leg kept clear of touch effectively winning the game, topped off by our boy Leigh. All courtesy of a beautifully placed kick from Biggar. Is he the 10 we've always wanted?

I found England's hard-fought win in Dublin very entertaining.

Not the best rugby by either side in poor conditions, but it entertained me.

Plenty to enjoy

Well the Scotland Italy match was quite entertaining

Shame the other 4 teams severed up some much boring rubbish

Who would have thought Scotland would score twice as many tries as all the other teams put together this weekend

yeeeeeaahhhhhhhh

Come on, it was Italy at home. They generally give a side 20-25 points when they travel

Still, well done Scotland!

And then exploded with a tedious yet savage thuggery normally expected from any Springbok side

Were there not two sides on the pitch in Dublin? I didn't see too much in the way of knock your socks off back play in Paris, either, but it was still entertaining to watch. There's nothing wrong with attritional Test rugby. You wouldn't want it all the time, but it has its place, and a good side has to be able to manage it.

I'd love to have seen how entertaining the new Scottish Harlem Globetrotters would have managed to be in the prevailing conditions at the Aviva. They played damn well in decent conditions on Saturday, but those conditions were a world away from what the sides were expected to play in today. Under the circumstances, I thought that it was a passable game.

We won we won we won we won o Lordy we won we won o yes we did o yes.........

Scotland scored some cracking tries against Italy. That was a good game. Italy gave it a lash too, attacked and tried to move the ball.

France, Wales, Ireland and England should hang their heads in shame for the dross they served up!

Well they did have the easiest match out of all 3 matches this weekend.

yeah Shaun Edwards mid-five to Howley's sternum wins!

Yeah agreed. Tried to post a picture but it didn't work

Well there was nothing even remotely entertaining in Paris or Dublin !

I literally couldn't stop laughing but none of my mates managed to see it, so just looked backwards.

Brilliant piece of television.

Most entertaining bit of the weekend? Watching arrogant England be put in their place by Ireland. Oh, hang on a minute...

You really are a sad little troll aren't you ?

The full time whistle at Dublin, to stop the most boring thing that happened all week never mind the weekend. The emergence of english 10 man rugby again ZZZZ
In fact the most entertaining thing was reading the letter to Jeremy on the BBC rugby page. The writer asked "......if it was a world cup year would England win the world cup?" I have been informed that help was being sent for this poor deluded person.

Come on, it was way better than the France/Wales game!

I rather enjoyed the Welsh fan who rushed on to the pitch to hug North after his try!

It seems it was George's father who ran on!!

I like how 1 performance (winning in Dublin for the first time in a 6N for 10 years) in the rain against a side that were 30 points up against Wales last week means that everyone can now ignore the last 2 England matches and decide that 10 man rugby has returned!

Did it ever go away?

Only one phrase that could describe it. Trench warfare. By far the least inspiring match of the weekend. And that was by far and a way the worst pitch i've seen outside of the Millenium Stadium - whole rolls of turf were coming up, i'm amazed scrummaging was even possible.

England were away from home and the conditions were not conjucive to running rugby. Lancaster adapted the team's tactics which they executed well. France and Wales can have no excuses, the team that won was the least worse on the day, simple as that.

Well at least temporarily. At looking at the Welsh gameplan at the moment, glass houses and stones come to mind

For the first time in I don't know how long Scotland and Wales both won on the same day. Both sides of my psyche are ecstatic.

The most entertaining thing for me was Lamont getting away with his try.

Jiffys scarf knot. Its been slowly growing over the years and is now larger than his head ( literal and metaphorical) . I actually laugh snorted beer when he popped up on the pre match guff wearing it.

and how many times did he say 'we' or 'oh nooo!... wrong option!... we should have gone left!' when calling the game?

I see 'Noh Full back'! 'Noh full back'! has replaced 'Numbahs!'

Classic jiffy..

Funniest thing - Jiffy's comment after Wales were awarded a penalty, "just listen to the booing as he takes this penalty" - followed buy a respectful pin drop silence.
The phrase, 'don't judge others by your own........." springs to mind.
