2014 Six Nations: England vs Ireland (Round 3)

[munstermuffin]

I have relatives from not so far back that were Nimibian tribesman. They happen to have fought lions just to become warriors. I don't know what you know about lions but they aren't like your average cat. I bet you would absolutely **** your...self if you ever saw a real life lion, especially if you were only holding a sharpened stick and you were naked. Come talk to me when some of your family members have gone on the Zambutu bibjano; A.K.A. the trial of life. Until you have done half the **** that they have maybe you shouldn't even talk to me like this. I know you think you're hard and **** but guess what pal, you aren't. Now go grow some Namibian genes and we'll talk about this **** for real.

I wouldn't need a sharp stick. Just need 2 fists and a good steel toe boot

Ha m8 that is ****ing nothing bruh. I once had a South African surf instructor and my sister has been to Kenya that makes me just another black man in Africa. I regularly punch lions in the throat so much so that there's a ****ing song dedicated to me (it's called I punched a lion in the throat) also I was once ambushed by a ****ing rhino who had teamed up with a gorilla, me armed only with a stick and a can of doctor pepper beat them 3 and 2 with an eagle on the 16th. You're as tough as my ****ing ballsack which I moisturise regularly along with my left knee. I once killed a hippo by drowning it in my own ****. Come out and fight me you junkies ******* ya!

this is England Ireland....a brawl is bound to occur eventually, or incidents. I predict.....yes, I predict a citing after the game...Cian Healy....for having eaten Danny Care. He'll defend himself as best he can with compelling arguments but will get the ban he deserves for it ultimately.

Cian can get a bit emotional on days like Saturday but it's a different story now with smith in charge discipline is high on his agenda. Roll on nerves are shot at this stage all ready.

Planet Rugby has picked all 3 visitors to win this weekend in their predictions. I've got France-Ireland-Italy with Italy the one home-winner.
Man, this thing is going to be one of those matches where both teams just EXPLODE onto the pitch in the first 15min, it's going to be brutal and frantic. Like France England, man that was just an insane rhythm to start a game. I see huge highs and huge lows in terms of pace and energy in this one. They can't be at 100% for 80'.
I reaaaaally hope Ireland win particularly because a Grand Slam (if France beat Wales, and win in MF) final hasn't been seen in a long time and would be absolutely unbelievable in Paris ! Can't repeat this enough times..

I don't, Ireland don't have good experience in "Grand Slam Finals" see 2003! I've got Wales-Ireland-Italy down this week, I don't know the stats, but I'd say it's a rare occurrence that both France and England don't win on a 6 nations weekend.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Not enough racial stereotypes in these insults. I have seen no mention of leprechauns. Disappointing.

Delighted that Guscott has picked England to win on the BBC this morning. My faith in him being wrong is even greater than my faith in Schmidt.

Ireland are a cert now - get money on it.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Yes I'm pretty bummed out about that prediction as an England fan.

thing about Guscott is he has absolutely no vision. Now that England have a quite settled pack producing good performances together he's bigging them up; when Englands pack was functioning less well in the last few years but the players individually were all playing well at their clubs, he seemed oblivious to it.
basically, he's unable to see potential unless it's rubbed right in his CGI face.

That's mad! Once in 13 years, especially considering England have only won the championship once in since 2003 and lost to Ireland 7 of 8 times between '04 and '11. Hopefully, from an Irish point of view, it will happen for a second time, that'll pretty much secure us the championship unless France really turn up for the final round!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Peat give us the men!

Well just to state facts it's the era when France basically beat everybody but England every year up until post 2011 RWC...2002, 2005 and 2010 GS for us, 2003 GS for England. We won 2006 and 2007 too, and England 2011 so just one defeat per winner those years...

and funny enough, 2013: England did all the winning the first 4 weekends and then Cardiff happened for them on the last weekend, exactly when we got our first and only win of the tournament against Scotland so perfect timing ! France and England work well together...

So yes, again I salute that interesting stat idea you thought of, this weekend *could* mark the first one where both France and England lose simultaneously since 2005. Let's keep the streak going though: I'm sure France will win...

No one said the word arrogant yet?

I'm so disappointed.

I said arrogance! I'd say that counts, maybe you don't agree but you were probably just to arrogant to read the words of a lowly Irishman... Prick!

So apparently Ireland have never lost to England when PO'C, Darcy and BO'D have played. If we win this BO'D will overtake Gibson to become the Irishman with the most wins over England with 9 wins.

Hearing rumour's that BOD's been dropped and that Davies has been flown in from Wales to take his place.

Sounds about right, given how influnential Davies was in that LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! match.
