Have to admit that I was worried when O’Driscoll, O’Connell, D’Arcy & Heaslip all stepped down.
Some of the Irish lads coming through though are outstanding rugby players. Stockdale, Ringrose, Farrell, Henderson and a good few more are all blending really well with the older heads and the game management of Sexton and Conor Murray is superb.
Looking good for the Championship, with England all square at half time, but we’ve only ever had 2 Grand Slams and would love to fire up Paddy’s Day even more next week

That was a ridiculously harsh yellow card and penalty try.1

wheels have come off here.0

Definitely harsh, but can understand why, given the French player was going in for the try. I think the penalty try would have been enough.0
-
Complete lack of ideas from England and out fought 2 games running. Took 75 minutes to actually do anything0

Congratulations to Ireland.
Hope they come a cropper at the cabbage patch.1 -
Not to mention the penalty against count over those 2 games as well - 16 I think it was today.AllHailTheHen said:Complete lack of ideas from England and out fought 2 games running. Took 75 minutes to actually do anything

I'm very happy & its calmed me down after being deliberately wound up today.
Stockdale is the dogs :-D1 -
Some of the penalties may have been harsh but 16 today, 13 against Scotland and 10 against Wales suggests its not all down to the refereeing.ricky_otto said:

Dan Coles can always be relied on to concede a few as just one example.1 -
The amount of penalties in professional rugby full stop is ridiculous, the ones that drive me up the wall are the blatant ones that never, ever get an advantage. The game is hard enough to sell to an impassive general public at the best of times and when someone who's played the game (moi) is tearing his hair out over it and the very petty officiating it's always going to be a easy thing to switch off from for a casual punter. I'm by no means blaming the loss on the referee, I just wish the game was allowed to be played at a breakdown without one side or both sides fishing for penaltiesLenGlover said:

Another lacklustre performance from the 2nd best international side in the world (my arse). I though EJ gave an equally lacklustre interview before the game tbh, maybe wrong though....
Well done the Paddy's!

Fairly sure list of France wouldn’t give a shit unless they were told they beat the rosbif, then they would have an extra pastor and game of boule.
Wouldn’t want to stereotype.0 -
I know there's a long history of anti-clericalism in France, but I think that might be pushing it.Alwaysneil said:Fairly sure list of France wouldn’t give a shit unless they were told they beat the rosbif, then they would have an extra pastor and game of boule.

Beginning to dread Saturday.
However it must be done. Will be in the Rose of Denmark with my Irish partner if anyone wants to say hello.

In Glasgow for the weekend. Drinking in a pub in the centre advertising the 6 nations with big flags up of each nationality.........well 5 of them. Guess which one is missing?3

No surprises in the Ireland side. Have no doubt England will want to repay us for last year's result and my pessimism kicks in and suggests a dampener on Paddy's Day celebrations...always happy to be wrong!!
