Choking row clouds Irish triumph
Ireland's third triple crown triumph in four years, secured with an untidy 19-18 win over Scotland at Murrayfield overnight, has been overshadowed by a row and alleged choke on fly half Ronan O'Gara.
choking?!?!?!
disgraceful scotland - be a man and put your hand up who ever did it
To some its a six-pack, to me it's a support group.
I was at the game and would be very surprised if it was deliberate - our guys just don't have that 'killer instinct' - which is why we lost btw.
Pity the french weren't up for it either today.
Yes, pity... Unless you're IRISH!
Ireland still in the hunt for 6N crown!

England did the oooorish a huge favour overnight when they beat France 26-18. It still leaves the French on top of the 6 Nations table but only on a slight points differential over Ireland (France have a 44 differential, Ireland 38, England 13).
Ireland unfortunately play Italy before France play Scotland, so we'll need to play the waiting game before we know if the Paddies have it or not.
Roughly it'll work out like this:
Ireland need to beat Italy by 5 + whatever France beat Scotland by (presumably a lot)
