England will probably hold on till about 60 mins only for Ireland to finish the job in the last quarter. Ireland v England games have a tendancy to be a bit of a damp squib over the past few years
I can definitely see England putting up a good fight this week. They can't play as bad as they did last Saturday. Ireland will win but I don't know if it will be a bonus point win. Ireland carrying alot of injuries and England have some wrongs to right. Ireland by 10 points
Carty really will only get a look in if carberry/sexton picks up an injury imo. Which is a possibility. Would like to see carty start against italy or come off the bench. Rest Sexton for that game
A badly needed win today, england have been a shitshow apart from the france game. Ireland played well at times and we reverted back to the ireland of old with some of our tactics. Was a very Joe Schmidt like performance.
AMAZINGLY we looked like we had a gameplan for once.. the jury is still...
F*** me, come on. We can all admit ireland are in a transition from the somewhat success of the Joe Schmidt era but we have to give Farrell time. He has had a 2020 six nations which was a disaster for any new coach, affected by covid and ended up playing games 6 or 7 months apart. The team has...
Scotland beat England last week because Scotland played moderately well and England were pish poor. I reckon Italy would have had a fair go at beating them last week.
Maybe so, it looks like he will come in at some stage. I hope he does well he's one for the future for sure.
A lot of people saying we're gonna get beat up on Sunday. I don't see that happening to be honest.
France haven't won in Dublin in ten years. This irish side will be hurting from last...
I think Ireland will try to keep it tight in this game and not allow the french too much space to get their free flowing game going. Possession is a must, I really hope i dont see murray or any of the back 3 aimlessly kicking to the french. That will end badly for ireland.
Would love to see...
