Expect a Wales back lash after comments made by Stephen ferris and other media who are slating Wales form.. Ireland are favourites but then again England were favourites yesterday and look what Scotland did.. It could go either way.. |

Am hoping both teams are on form and for a great match with the right outcome, an Ireland win. With England losing I think the French are in the driving seat though with them it will be about keeping up momentum. There will be an England backlash and can Scotland reproduce yesterday’s performance. Great time of year though I will miss being at a match in person |

Who gives a fuck!! It's glorified club rugby.
Scotland game winning try yesterday was scored by a South African who isn't good enough to play for his own country. He's lived his whole life in SA before he moved abroad to play rugby and signed for Edinburgh in 2017. He qualifies to represent Scotland as a Scottish International due to the 3 year residency rule. Ie he's lived in Scotland for 3 years. Hes opted to play for Scotland because he is not good enough to play for his own country and also because by doing so he earns a lucrative contract with the Scottish Rugby football union to call himself Scottish.
That's international rugby for you. A farce!! Duhan van der Merwe couldn't care less how long it was since Scotland last won at Twickenham, he's there for the money!! |

Look at the "Ireland" team for today!
Yes everyone plays professional club rugby for money, but you shouldnt be allowed to choose what international team you play.
In the case of first and second generation Irish who may have grown up in a different country but have kept their irish identity and consider themselves as Irish that's OK. But some randomer who is representing our country simply for the cash becauee he isn't good enough to play for his country of birth or his first choice. Get to Fuck!! That's a farce. |

So you think striking a player in the head is acceptable? Have you not seen all the talk in build up about head injuries? And by the way I'd be saying the same if it was the other way around |

They get hit in the head all the time.. Someone else said nearly took his head off which is rubbish.. It was minimal contact.. Only thing he did wrong was not binding his arms in the tackle.. Had he done that it by the book.. |

You watching the same game as everyone else? Minimal contact?? Had he wrapped his arm like your meant to and not steam in using his bent arm to strike his opponents head we wouldn't be having this conversation |

Will we ever see Billy Byrne again.... you’d also have to wonder how many more knocks to the head can Sexton sustain. Have to believe he’s starting to seriously tempt fate.
Pity to end that way... Ireland deserved one last decent push to the line.
But that’s the sport. Guess the rest of it is for giggles and to build some experience for the squad... |

Big balls up at the end but Sexton fucked up a few kicks too |

Agreed. Sexton’s miss to the corner was a massive mistake too.
France next week, even with them being the away team.... not looking good for the boys in green for ‘21.
How many seasons before Paudie O takes the reins? And they bring back O’Gara?? Think Farrell inherited a tough role in the life cycle of the team. |

"Nice score at half time.. Red card was stupid move by O Mahoney. Ud think he'd know better with his experience.. Ireland win hopefully
Very unlike him too, 1 moment of madness "
I'm a big POM fan and it was the right decison to send off. Was it a moment of madness? I don't think so... You can see he is trying to protect the ruck. But these days anything high like that will be punished and rightly so. Ireland were poor for 13 mins but a sending off at that level is tough to maintain for 67 odd mins |

O'Mahoney is a class player but notorious for the filth
Thing is in this day and age you can't get away with it. |
