The IRISH RUGBY thread

[Gmac]

In the past These type of games were always a banana skin for Ireland but lately we really have held up very well in them and if we win Saturday it's another good sign  . for Ireland this year all roads lead to World Cup quarter final that's the game we have to win

England weren't a million miles off NZ in the autumn internationals on a wet, shitty day in Twickenham, so whilst I think Ireland should win tomorrow it wouldn't be a surprise.

1/3 are pretty short odds all the same.

Really enjoyable U20 game. Plenty of mistakes plenty of good open play.

French playing particularly well but Wales have been awful so far!!

Ireland under 20s get the better of England. A good omen for tomorrow I hope.

France have been poor for a number of years now... the same thing will happen Ireland when our inevitable tough spell comes again!

Really?  I thought Ireland home games have been sell outs all down the years.

Indeed, we've been heading down for 30+ years, never mind a spare seat, and 20 of those were fairly lean years.

According to the TalkSport, lots of Welsh fans couldn't get across to Paris due to the weather

Not the weather in Wales seeing flights cancelled?

I was reading a book about the 1999 5 nations. Ireland
played 4 won 1
Shows how much progress Ireland have made since
They won the Grand Slam a decade later
