Sarah, England fan (18)
Venue: At home with friends for a Six Nations marathon.
Reaction: It was a very odd game, with the momentum constantly switching between teams, so well done to the Irish for grabbing it at the end. However, I think there were some dodgy decisions.
Highlight: Noon's try was the perfect start, another tireless performance from Moody and Andy Goode deserved to be on the winning team.
Overall verdict: Utterly deflated, I really hoped this championship would be the time where finally a decent England team emerged from the World Cup hangover, but if anything we seem to have moved backwards. There were some encouraging individual performances but overall the England squad showed nothing of their quality at club level. Maybe we need changes in management.

Liam, England fan (33)
Venue: Pilgrim Hall, Eastbourne.
Reaction: Fantastic commitment from the team, bravely running into thick
green walls. Unfortunately, once again we lacked invention and penetration,
looking devoid of ideas.
Highlight: Mathew Tait running free in Melbourne with agility, invention,
speed and sheer shout-out-loud brilliance.
Overall verdict: England started with a bang against Wales, slowly fizzled out in Paris before finally spluttering out against Ireland. The Championship has been poor in ability but rich in entertainment with so many close games. England have moved backwards which is hard after
last year's results and need a serious remedy which I doubt the present management can provide.
