The IRISH RUGBY thread

[Syferus]

There's only 9 points in it ffs.
A converted try and a penalty surpasses that.
So hardly the "easiest win of the tournament".

Ya rly?

We getting benefit of doubt with TMO.

In time honoured Irish tradition the team that wants it more will win it.

Passion!


If there's anything at all in England, it will come out today. I know the players won't be taken in by the confidence in the media etc. but I'm fearful of England in London. I'm going to say England rain on our parade like we did to them previously.

Syferus, if you think the players look at a potential Grand Slam as you do, a nice bonus but job done already, then you are mental.

We'll beat them well today. They're in disarray making 10 changes and low in confidence. We've a settled side and full of confidence. They'll be fired up and fresh but we should wear them down and see the game out comfortably.

Not as comfortable as I thought it would be. The first try was probably a knock on so we got some luck there. The third was superbly taken but a bit lucky that it didn't flick his hand and that the goal area was extended by the english. Second try was class. We managed the game very well when o'mahoney was in the bin.

Slap it up them but that final try was shocking for England to give up. 80 seconds to see out, a man up and they concede a scrum. Then a free kick. Then a penalty. You could hear Hartley roaring at them about discipline. Brilliant stuff from Stockdale.

You have high standards! 16 ahead at half time... feels comfortable where I'm sitting

Best is still throwing the ball like he's had five pints of Guiness before the match..

I thought we'd be that far ahead but wasn't thinking we'd need to be a bit lucky to get that lead.

Just switched over a try for England a lifeline or too little too late for them?

[Hardy]

Around about now we should have Stockdale's intercept try.

[gallsman]

Daly is a niggly, mouthy p***k.

[Tony Baloney]

Brilliant stuff. 3 tries from England but they looked fairly toothless.

[seafoid]

Fantastic result. They really were the best team in the competition. 

[gallsman]

Almost feels anticlimactic as we were so much better than them. Scoreline very flattering to England.

[Syferus]

Called it.
