Another great GAA try Ireland against England, this time from Henshaw (not an attacking force - George Hook).

By my count O'Brien, Sexton, Healy and Payne all got blows to the head in this game. Rugby has a serious problem.

Good defence and scrum this match. England kicking penalties instead of going for tries says something about the irish performance. GAA tries are great too.

What a performance. Muscular, bullied England in the ruck, incredible defence.

Henshaw the best thing to come out of Athlone since Frankie Dolan.

O'Connell looks like a man saying goodbye to the Aviva, but no one seems to notice!

Henshaw "used my gaelic football skill to pull the ball from the air"

Another dirge, another concussion.

Compare the superb skill and entertainment on show in the Liverpool v Manchester City and Kerry v Dublin matches to that.

What a load of rubbish.

Vunipola the number 8 is a horse of a man. Very Junior C frame.

We still have Scotland and Wales at Landsdowne before the WC. Last match at home against England (we play them in Twickenham too before the WC), probably.

Sidney. 2 words. f**k off!

I liked this post by an English supporter on another forum just after we scored out try:

"Twelvetrees -> 12
Burrell 12 -> 13
Joseph 13 -> 14
Watson 14 -> 15
Goode 15 -> France"

Was surprised to read it was our first win in 5 attempts against England.

Great performances all over the pitch. England looked a bit limited though in attack. Hope Ireland leave something in the tank for the World Cup though.

England dominated the scrum against the Welsh so I'm really pleased with how our scrum held up. Massive game in a fortnight against the Welsh.
