Something Ireland weren't close to doing.


They have some decent units in the front row. Ireland need to find some. Scrum will get ugly for Ireland this weekend I fear.

This is very quiet considering it's two days out from England.
I think overall the bandwagon is falling off a bit.

No spare tickets yet so there's that!

England's bandwagon has fallen off a bit after that hammering by a poor Scotland team, and they won't win in France

I'd expect a right backlash at the weekend. I'll be in Donegal with a Scots man this weekend ffs!

No doubt 'Beathing the English isn't for everyone' will be he cry!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

I'm heading over to the match and was genuinely thinking it could be an absolute tanking surrounded by the Swing Low crowd. The Scotland match showed that even with all their grunt up front England can be beaten. Both teams look closer after the last match but I'd still expect Ireland to struggle in the scrum and repeated scum penalties could become a yellow card. Interested to see the team today at 11.

I'm not too sure what is going on. The team is getting older granted but that doesn't explain the ridiculous loss of form of many of the other lads like Sheehan, van Der flier etc. something not right in the camp for such a drop off. The warnings were there last year as we had one good half against England and then the rest of the 6 nations was a complete mess. 4 wins spoke more about the state of the other teams. We all love a bandwagon and if the soccer lads pull off a minor miracle then expect rugby to be well in the background for a good bit
