A 21st century prophet.

Okay you win!

Hopefully the last we see of Brown.

Enjoy the flight

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Bugger! Had to be on on what Americans call it St Patty's weekend.

As I expected. Well done Ireland. We didn't really show up. Still 4 wins out of 5 ain't bad with lots to improve on. Bring on Argentina!

 

[big ginger 8]

Delighted with the win and huge parts of the win. Still feels weirdly anti-climatic, possibly due to my hangover.

Shock horror as Lenihan gives PO'M motm.

 

[TommiG88]

6 nations champions. I'll take that.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Blocking all you arrogant Irish posters.

Fecking England ******* the bed. (Eddie made a mistake in not starting Nowell TBH).

Enjoy the flight

I watched it from home

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

great, two days in a row the irish get to feel like people smh

 

[Ospervat]

That isn't relevant at all to what olly is saying

If Ireland are holding the ball carrier up in the contact- ref calls maul - then Ireland collapse the maul - that is a penalty.

I appreciate this aspect is not "lazy play" BUT ...... The fact that the ball becomes available immediately after the collapse ensuring a perceived "flow" in play fits the MO of letting things slide at certain times in the game.

I may have misunderstood - perhaps clear this up.

We would have won the 6 Nations with POM starting

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

WTF was our game plan? All game all we did was 1 out passes to lone forwards standing still who would then run at the nearest block of 3 irish defenders... No width, no passing the ball behind the line, nothing.

No shock horror. 100% deserved it.
Justified all calls that he was needed.
Lineout improved.
Balance at breakdown improved.
Payne showed he is the 15.
McGrath and Marmion justified they need more minutes.
John Ryan and Scannell too.

And we ran more and it suited us. Hope Schmidt see's the obvious and now builds on it.

Alpha might be jealous I thought that was your two special thing.

Let's face it England lost that game rather than Ireland winning it.

 

[Mhumhain]

can you hear us now queen Elizabeth can you hear us now Theresa May! enjoy your feckin brexit!

 

[Jockstap]

TADA, lineout functions, we win. Time for Heaslip to step aside, POM needs to be in the team and while he's there make him captain.

 

[Hulkster]

For professional rugby players, the England players' inability to simply catch the ball is inexcusable.
