Ireland v England - Rugby Union

[One Love]

Really looking forward to this one today, should be a cracker.

Ireland are very strong at home and it'll take an impressive performance from England to win this. If they do they will probably be thought of as favourites for the World Cup.

Ireland on the other hand, if they win this and then beat Wales (who are improving throughout the tournament again) in Cardiff, will be thought of as favourites as they are on an incredible unbeaten run against the best in the world.

The match to see who wins the Six Nations.

I'm confused why they decided to put it on (or the Football league) at the same time as the final?

It seems like poor planning.

I hope that they put in a better performance than the other England national team that played overnight and are being suitably ignored on NSC this morning...

i can see this game being won in the last couple of minutes by a drop goal or pen

They only merit a comment when they do something unexpected...

I think england looked weak in the defensive organisation against Italy which hopefully is a good thing, as today they will be stronger. Ireland have looked pretty average so far this 6 nations which will probably change today. All in all should be a cracker!

I think we are certainly in with a shout in the World Cup but can't see that we will become favourites even if we hammered Ireland. The All Blacks will remain very strong favourites imo regardless

Really looking forward to today's game , impossible to call though

the first 20 minutes could be crucial for England,I think that's Ireland's best chance today,early points because if England do get a foothold in the match,they're be hard to stop

If England are within a score at half time,I think they're go on and win

I can see Ireland starting fast maybe score 10 points or so,then England coming back,will Ireland be able to hold on,maybe relying on penalties to keep their noses in front

Brown will be a BIG miss. He was immense against Wales, and this will be a similar game. If England keep their discipline and don't concede cheap penalties for Sexton to rack up the points, I think they'll win.

 

[n1 gull]

Huge game, can't wait

 

[TomandJerry]

Huge game, will be as tough as expected

 

[Geestar]

England by 9

 

[London Irish]

Irish beats the London for me on this one

 

[Hampster Gull]

England, 3 points.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I'm going for an entirely optimistic 24-12 to England.

Alex Goode is an able replacement. Kicks a lot more, but England have been doing a lot of that this year.

 

[TomandJerry]

Can't afford to give easy points away like that

 

[Eeyore]

Lots of problems at the breakdown here.

Our line outs aren't the best either

 

[Icy Gull]

Ireland much the better side at the moment
