Yep. Heart in mouth a few times!!

 

[Idris2002]

The lads done brilliant. . .once they woke up that is!

Feel a bit sorry for poor old England, though.

 

[Ax^]

the irish feeling bad for the Orcs its been a bit of a turn around since the fucked off Eddie

 

[Ax^]

most admit enjoy that game da's not a rugby fan but the mother has gone back home for a funeral so he was at home on his jack jones

so was watched it with him in the pub explaining the rule as we went along


whilst he played the voice of doom with me telling him to wait

 

[Sasaferrato]

I take it that PD is 'points Difference'?

 

[Ax^]

Yup

 

[stavros]

Note to the DJ at the Aviva: expand your repertoire beyond just that fecking U2 shite.

 

[Ax^]

aye could drop some inhaler in their to mix it up a little

 

[Rebelda]

Cagey game, but that's the way of finals. Fair play to England getting their shit together compared to last week. I thought we missed Ringrose on the break today, he brings a lot to our running game.

 

[Rebelda]

Cagey for me too, watching with a Scot and load of English

I was thinking more like this:

I’m kind of relived we were a bit shit. To be below par and grind nd out a bonus point win is good but knowing that we can play better means this isn’t our peak yet.

Thought Aki and Henshaw had a very good game, solid in defence and attack too.

Solid defence for sure. I don't think we've played a poor defence all competition tbf

Ireland U20s beat England too to take the grand slam. Future looks bright especially for the number 8.

 

[Ax^]

did the broadcaster switch over to fucking ant and dec before they received the trophy like the senior team just to keep things consistent

 

[Elpenor]

You’d have to put Ireland as favourites now for the World Cup.

Maybe. It’s a different tournament, with a lot of rugby to be played in the URC and ERCC and warm ups. Plus a dog of a draw.

One thing though is clear is the break sexton and others got by not being picked for the lions was a massive benefit.

 

[stavros]

Plus the French are on home soil, which is likely to count for something (although England 2015).

 

[Ax^]

We have a French "bod"atm on Home Soil at a World Cup


Gonna take some beating

Plus for some reason never feel comfortable in Rugby Union, when ireland are called the favorites

It’s the legacy of the 80s and 90’s. I was in Landsowne when the Italians beat us in 1997. Plus for so long we relied on generational talents like bod.

It was really obvious on Saturday. We got nervous - if England had stayed at 15 we would have been in trouble.

Someone was off sick the day we did "Guests of the Nation" in school, evidently.

Seriously, if you're taking that approach, why bother watching rugby at all? Or did you sit there wearing a Celtic top and holding a placard reading "no to foreign games"?

 

[Ax^]

tbf Eddie Jones was just a massive bell end

I don't feel bad for them. They will be back with boring shite soon enough.

 

[nightowl]

Women's Six Nations starting today which looks like it's going to be dominated by England yet again. Difficult to see what can be done to narrow the gap. Hard to raise interest when you know exactly what's going to happen year after year.
