Being able to bring on so many subs does benefit the stronger nations, who have so much depth and can thus bring on fresh legs of an equally high standard as the starting 15

Have "liked" this @killerandflash, but just because you are right, rather than something I am a fan of. Too many subs allowed as far as I am concerned. Just feels wrong being able to change more than half the team, as well as all the shenanigans with HIA and blood replacements.

I don't like the use of subs as well, as it's such a mechanical/scientific exercise, with many players effectively now picked to only play 60 minutes, rather than form based.
Being able to voluntarily change over half your team is ridiculous, especially as the limit of 8 doesn't include injury victims of foul play. Imagine if football allowed 5 or 6 subs plus a replacement for anyone injured by an opponent.
Exactly... thats the sort of form that people have been arguing for a Pre-Qualifying stage for the Euros and World Cup with the likes of San Marino and Malta etc.
As an occasional rugby watcher I’m finding it increasingly difficult to get interested. I used to be glued to the five/six nations but now I’m finding it a real borefest.

Ran away with it in the end, as we have often seen under Jones, they turn the screw in the last 20.
Simmonds is some find - can’t believe he has only been playing top class Rugby for 2 years. Quality from him today.

IMO will be lots of try's hopefully,
To coin a cliche "rugby will be the the winner", let's hope....
But an England win!
I hope Launchbury has a stormer to show Gatland what he missed leaving him out of the Lions squad.
Need to introduce a Play-Off between the bottom six nations team and the winners of the championship below!!
Ireland on this form will take some stopping.
The substitutions for Ireland are understandable, if a little bold.
Still, bonus point before half time - an interesting contrast to the Italian clash last week.
Only 1 win in last 17 matches in total
Given the match score I would have allowed it though.
