at full pace for one of the tries.

That's an unbelievable level of skill.

So to kind of round off that point, deserving champions, France, yes.

When they hummed, they played the best attacking rugby in the championship.

But, you know, with a view to World Cup, what are you saying about France?

Real kind of genuine celebrations at full time.

I mean, we're pitch side, so you could feel it.

But even in the stands, like every bit as excited sometimes over Six Nations Championships in recent years.

In a sense, that's possibly their best performance of the championship.

The last year.

What did you like in particular?

First 11 minutes with Osborne's try, you know, scrum, line out, lovely set play, crisp, and then Darcy Graham after 20 phases, and then Sheehan scores.

I thought this is going to be 65-70, you know?

And then it calmed down a lot.

Owing, I think, to Rob's point about Ireland at the breakdown, started to really slow down Scotland.

Ireland went into the 22 in the first 56 minutes four times the Scottish 22 and scored four tries yeah which is clinical in the extreme I mean you'd like a few more entries into the 22 was a thought but four tries from four entries but they were so comfortable without the ball as well I know like they made Scotland go through those 20 phases I think one thing that's been so impressive even going back to the South Africa game in November their goal line defence has become really really um

Yeah.

Rob, would you give us a word about the attack then?

So like we said, in that first kind of few minutes, there was a crispness to that.

You know, we get emails in going, what does Andrew Goodman do?
