Still, the ref missed another tackle in the air from a Welshman, must be a legal cheap-shot for the Welsh

It's no fun when you don't share your sour grapes with us! I'll certainly be handing them out left right and center if England beat us tomorrow...

To be fair, I think it's safe to say the Welsh luck with the ref two weeks ago, bit us in the backside today ! What goes around comes around.
Will be interesting if England win tomorrow, what a 6N in store we have then
And, Andy, I usually do have sour rgapes, but we were lucky to have a chance to snatch it in the end. We were well outclassed and need to take a long hard look at ourselves., imo.

:s unsure how the result today made ANY difference for the Irish, had Wales won, would have set up the Grand Slam decider which will not happen now
18:02 Fri 27 Feb 09 (GMT) [Link]
So true was a great game to watch thou (and im a football fan) England can turn over Ireland
Cant wait

So what game was that then John?
Were you watching the women's rugby?
Wales' Grand Slam dreams over though with the 21-16 defeat to France, hopefully we can beat Ireland tomorrow somehow, win that and the Six Nations could still be ours

Ireland will NOT be beaten by Italy, but yeah, Ireland may just beat Italy, who cares, a win is a win in the 6 Nations. Personally, since Ireland have the so-called "big two" at home this time around (I'll gladly agree that they may not be the big two this time around), I think we have as much a chance as any to win a Grand Slam this time around! Anyway, here goes...
England - Italy = England, comprehensively
Ireland - France = Ireland, just
Scotland - Wales = Wales, relatively easily
France - Scotland = France, relatively easily
Wales - England = Wales, just
Italy - Ireland = Ireland, just
France - Wales = France, just
Scotland - Italy = Scotland, just
Ireland - England = Ireland, just
Italy - Wales = Wales, just
Scotland - Ireland = Ireland, COMPREHENSIVELY
England - France = France, just
Italy - France = France, comfortably
England - Scotland = England, easily enough
Wales - Ireland = OMG IT'S A DRAW
Hope you followed my predictions Sam
Cracking match in Paris tonight, I'm actually disappointed France won, I would have loved to see a Grand Slam decider in Cardiff, oh well, guess Ireland will just have to go it alone now

I love how they do the Scottish anthem at Murrayfield
Kinda of ruined the Italian one with the drums though, I usually love that one
Anyway, this is Scotland's best chance to score a try for the next 15 months, so lets take it!

Great start, both teams taking an injury within four minutes :/

Can't remember seeing a cagier start to an international rugby game, 25 minutes on the clock and no score! Ronan O' Gara has often bottled it on the big stage (a la world cup 2007), and he's already missed two very makeable kicks, hope he can get his act together....

Well England didn't deserve to win. IN fact I'm glad they didn't get a drop goal at the end - would of put a positive sheen over a stupid performance.
I for one wouldn't want to be in that England team right now - I bet Jonno is ripping them to bits, especially Danny (box kick) Care, once again proving why he shouldn't be in an England shirt.
The shame of it is, we should of won, and had we been at full strength through-out the game I think we would of snatched it. Just so stupid.
Poor Jonno!
I think Ireland will lose to Wales. I just don't think they can do it for some reason.
(I have a tendency to be wrong)

England should NOT have won lol, that's a silly thing to say. Ireland had far more possession, far greater territory, far better chances, when England had 14 or 15 men. And whether they would have had won or not with 15 men is neither here nor there, they are the most ill-disciplined team I can remember, 10 yellows in their last 4 games is shocking, and well-merited.
Brian O' Driscoll sums up everything about Ireland - we would be lost without him. In my opinion (obviously biased but whatever), he is the greatest player of our generation, and is a joy to watch. He single-handedly won that game for us as O' Gara single-handedly tried to lose it for us. He should be given a Nobel Prize for...ummm...heroism
I said half-jokingly that we would draw with Wales, and I haven't been wrong yet, but I honestly think we will beat them. The whole country is buzzing now, and I have every faith and confidence in the team.

With better discipline and less stupid errors England would of won. Very simple really.
Obviously you being Irish your bound to disagree, but Ireland weren't really allowed to play that well, and only really won because England are stupid.
Obviously you can't live on what-ifs, Ireland squandered some chances too. Just felt like Ireland didn't have to work hard for that one, it was given to them through ill-discipline and silly fouls.
O'Driscol is still an amazing player, hope he can make the next world cup! For sure he'll be going on the Lion's tour.
Can't see one England player making the Lion's tour. Sad day for us if you ask me. Perhaps Armitage stands a chance of being 3rd in line full-back, and Worsley keeps putting in a good show, but the rest of them, pfft!
(And I actually think 3 of the yellow cards have been unwarrented, but it doesn't really matter now, both were deserved today)

Forget to edit that..... :-S
I meant to say, without the silly errors and illdiscipline England would of had every chance of winning. Unfortunatly they were fighting an uphill battle with the way they played.
Noticed they were kicking away far too much ball after about 15 minutes. No need really, they should trust the forwards. We've seen what happens when we keep ball in hand and use it.......
I'm so freekin' mad still. I hope Jonno smashed Care around the dressing room!

Wales are in the semi - final of the 7's world cup after bating NZ 15-14 in the quarter final.
England went out to Samoa in extra time in the quarters. So it's Wales vs Samoa in semi - final one.
Argentina beat SA and Kenya beat Fiji to make the other semi.
Wow !!!
