Any chance this muppet on BBC will stop calling Heymans 'Vincent Clerc', even when Heymans is scoring tries!?

I had to turn it over to RTE. With the 8pm kick off, the BBC started the programme about 2 mins before kick off. What a joke.

In the driving seat now

Good match.

[Square Ball]

very enjoyable game indeed. I thought that France could have been on the wrong side of a tanking after being 13-3 down after 25 mins, fair play to them.

To capitalise Ireland have to beat the English, then a hell of a game awaits in Cardiff

Mighty fare that six nations rugby. Still can't see Ireland winning in the Millenium though.

Missed the game but sounds like it was a good one. Would have liked a Grand Slam decider in Cardiff but it still looks like it could be a Championship decider provided we beat the English tomorrow. Fantastic tournament!!!!

Looked like an exciting win for the U20s there, drop goal with the last kick of the game to win by a point. A good omen hopefully.

Good game tonight. Haven't joined a Rugby thread on here before - I have to admit that whilst i've been watching it for years and thoroughly enjoy it, i still don't understand half the rules!


On another note, does anyone know who was being interviewed about tomorrow's game on Good Morning Ulster (Radio Ulster) this morning? I was listening to it in the car on the way into work and missed who it was being interviewed - i think it may have been a southern rugby journalist. Anyway, he was commenting on how he preferred Lansdowne to Croke Park because all of the atmosphere escaped out of the Canal End in Croke Park. Must have been a very strong wind when he was there!

Sounds like something Thornley would say... Gerry Thornley from the Times. Knows his Rugby of that there's no doubt but he's an arrogant git!

It was that p***k Neil Francis.......one of the biggest cowards ever to wear the green! Have to agree with his take on todays game......no more than 7 points in it......would love to see Ireland hammer them, both on the pitch and score board. Icing on the cake would be Johnson getting kneed in gonads by President

[muppet]

I was convinced 2 years ago that if we started well we would hammer them.

It will be much closer this time but I was impressed with the way we hung on against a good French team. Ireland by 8 - 9.
Fitzgerald to score 1st try.

[Tankie]

Well the big day has arrived. Cant wait for this, anyone else heading to the game?
