Arrghh!! Rugby!

Come on. Give the lads a break. Thay are starting to to rebuild under bad circumstances. Their club game is in tatters and they have a long hard slog in front of them more so than most.

It's great see the game played the way it was in Paris yesterday and hope Ireland can match it when they play Wales.

Just praying you have an off day today otherwise we are going to get slaughtered!
 
Even worse, I've got a County Kerry surname, Spillane. However, born and bred in Wales, my true roots show when it comes to a showdown like this. The Ireland Wales match should be awesome.

I'm going to buy a porta potty for that event, as nearly busted myself yesterday - didn't dare pop off to the loo for 30 secs in case I missed anything, and you can't say that about many matches in recent years.
 
Jeremy Guscott quote yesterday:

"I hope whatever coach Mike Ruddock said at half-time has been recorded so he can play it to his team every time they're in trouble. "

Maybe he could lend the recording to the England lads <g>
 
Re: Ireland 12 England 10

What the hell are Ireland doing. The way England are playing, the Irish team should be running all over them,especially given the expectations of them before the tournament started, but they are playing like old farts
 
Re: Ireland19 England 13

Well done Ireland. That was nerve wracking! A grand slam final against Wales would be magic. There's a little matter of France to get over first.

Allez Ireland!
 
Re: Ireland19 England 13

Disappointing game overall. Switched over to interactive on Beeb1 after the match - you should have heard the comments about the england team from Jeremy! Ouch! he really, really wasn't impressed
 
Sorry, had to calm down before posting.

Well done Ireland on the win but boy, are you going to struggle against Wales if you don't do better than that. To scrape a win against a crap England 15 was not impressive and you could easily have lost if a couple of bad decisions had gone gone the other way.

On present form it's got be a Welsh Grand Slam.
 
Yerrah if Wales wins, we'll get over it. Aren't we all Celts? !!

It will be a good day and night in Cardiff in any event. There's 160 minutes to go yet before the fat lady sings. We'll put the effort in. There are good games ahead.
