Inside rugby union's big showdown
Croke Park - I was one of the 82,000 or so spectators who witnessed Sunday鈥檚 historic Six Nations encounter as Ireland's dream was shattered by France.
See if you agree with my ratings for players on both sides.
Cardiff - 鈥淭he Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
鈥淭he others are those who who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later鈥 - .
So how can a side like Wales, who lived and thrived on that edge between prudence and disaster in 2005, be reduced to the ineptitude of ?
Twickenham - What a difference a week makes.
Last weekend, England fans were celebrating the comfortable win over Scotland and revelling in a much-improved display.
This Saturday, the Twickenham faithful were far more subdued as they made their way home or into the various bars and pubs around the ground.
Edinburgh - My co-commentator Jonathan Davies finally got out of snowy Cardiff airport late on Friday night. Arrived in Edinburgh at 1am. On Saturday afternoon he must have wished he hadn't made it.
I don't think he, or most of the thousands of Welsh fans who are now drowning sorrows in various Edinburgh bars can really believe what has happened to their side.
