So will Italy baffle England again with some special clever tactics* they've never come across before?

"i.e. cheat" (Eddie Jones)


Aww England didn't know whether to take the knee for the National Anthem

 

[starfish]

That was quite tense if not the most exciting match. Good to win in Wales though. We rarely do.

wehey

we need 40ish points?

And Flatman commentating do like that man

 

[Elpenor]

England need 23, but a cushion of 35-40 will put the pressure on Ireland (and technically France)

I think England can comfortably do the 35-40 margin if they just do their thing it will happen organically

and hopefully accelerate in the second half

 

[Elpenor]

But not if they try and play 7s!!

 

[two sheds]

How about if we draw and France beat Ireland by 20 points?

Wehey again, lovely try

 

[Ax^]

that will sting in the morning

Weeeee ignore my post about getting a draw

Think I missed that - internet cut out

 

[The Octagon]

Cmon lads, pile on the points

 

[Teaboy]

Christ that was dull shite. Top level sport without fans is like urban without pointless pedantry.

I thought Scotland played well. Wales looked soft. Bring back Gatland!

 

[two sheds]

So will that be enough? Go Ireland

 

[Elpenor]

I would say probably not based on form, but it’s not unattainable for Ireland

So Ireland have to score 4 tries and win by 7 points.

And France can't come top nomatter how many they win by <snigger>

And France can't come top no matter how many they win by <snigger>

No. Ireland need to win by 7 points, or score 4 tries and win.

No. Ireland need to win by 7 points, or score 4 tries and win.

Don't think so? Ireland need 4 points so 4 tries, but then if they win by 6 points they're on the same number of points.

POS		TEAM	PL	W	D	L	PF	PA	DIFF	TF	TA	TB	LB	PTS
1		England	5	4	0	1	121	77	44	14	9	1	1	18
2		Ireland	4	3	0	1	105	67	38	14	7	2	0	14

 

[Teaboy]

Ireland are the better team here.

If Ireland win, but don't get 4 tries, they get 4 points and are level on points with England. Then it goes to points difference. England are +6 ahead of Ireland. So if Ireland win by 7, Ireland go top.
If Ireland score 4 tries and win, they get 5 points and and points difference doesn't come into it.

WTF you cannot touch the fly half

Surely if Ireland win but don't get 4 tries (bonus point) they get 3 points?


Aaaaaaaaaaargh 4 points for a win then a bonus point

Yes I'd love to know the average number of yards teams gain from running after they receive a kick, to see whether it's worth the other team kicking however many yards they kick.
