Some finish. I think there is a lot to be said for no fans! Not sure you'd see as many wins on road with crowds there.

Comfortable win in the Pro 12 final for Leinster. Conan, Ruddock, McGrath and Henshaw particularly good. Munster's Ireland contingent all below par.

Hopefully Sexton and Ross Byrne's injuries not bad and they'll be ok for next week.

Scotland have done it!

Brice Dulin decided to run Hamish Watson's knock on from deep inside his own 22 with time up, and conceded a penalty

Van der Merwe finishes in the corner after 85 minutes!

Scotland win in Paris for the first time in the 21st century!

What a finish to the championship!

Jamie Ritchie surely Player of the Match

Question. IF France had scored another try and won with a bonus point, would they have won the 6N's?

It's the only thing I can think of as to why Dulin tried to keep the ball alive.

No they needed to win by with a bonus point and 20+ points to catch Wales on scoring difference.

That was a truly outstanding championship, surely the most exciting ever and a credit to the players of the traditional Five Nations, imagine what it would have been like with crowds

Essential now that it remains free to air and not siloed away on pay television

Agree wholly. The joy of the 6N (5) is that really on any given day, any of them can rock up and beat the other.

Would have loved to have been at some of those games.....maybe next year.

In the backs, I'd look at Racing 92's Simon Zebo, who plays with a joyous freedom and would make a great Lions tourist

Zebo back to Munster.

His 'sentence' must have been served then, should we expect Jackson back ;)

Instead of a barbeque a spit roast to celebrate his return.  ;D

Beibhinn Parsons was described as the kind of player who emerges once every 20 years in the Irish times yesterday.

There are two sides to every coin but what Leinster have been able to do in the Pro14 has masked a bigger problem, which is the quality of rugby being played. With hindsight, we can look back and say this is not a good thing because the standard has regressed with the frequency of quality matches in the league worryingly low.
That's having an effect not just on Leinster, but Munster and Ulster too, when it comes to winning tough European knockout games. It's like 'okay you've hiked Carrauntoohil, now go climb Everest'.

Ref is absolutely bastardising the game of rugby in this final. Red card was fair but otherwise he is dreaming up infringements all over the place.
