Predictions for the game tomorrow?

themarcus

Anyone wanna give their prediction?

I reckon Ireland by 5 points, maybe about 25-20 or so...

Also, is wilkinson going to be fit???

Haven't a Clue

Wilkonson'll be fit, definitely.

As a result goes, Ireland by 10. France was tough enough to take, but if we lose tomorrow, a depression for a week and maybe a national day of mourning is in order.

That would suit me down to the ground. I put €5 on the "1916 Special" - i.e. Ireland to win 19-16 @ 50/1

Ireland to win by at least 10

county

england to win by 1-5 points

nacho libre

England to lose 15-12

Ireland have their hardest games out of the way, england have their easiest out of the way. In order words this will be to much of a step up for England. I predict England will to be on the receiving end of a rampant Ireland side, who will not concede any trys any wilkonson to kick all Englands points.

Ireland 26
England 15

Who do you think will win, I'm sure hoping Ireland will.

Impossible to say esp as the England team is'nt finalised. It'll proberly be a win within the range of a score. If Wilko is actually fit and ready I'll go for an England win.

I think we'll take England by at least 15 points. I think we'll be vicious for it after the French match, and a big win can reassert our status as a top-quality side, which has been somewhat flagging over the last two games.

Funkstard

We have to win. We just can't not win, not here, not against this opposition. I'm grasping wood at the moment

LundiMardi

Wilkinson will play, twas just on the news.

mike65

Maybe they'll play for a draw

Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

crybaby

looks like eddie o'sullivan called it right in regards to the wilkinson mindgame that england were trying to play, we have our best player and our biggest leader on the pitch today and i just can not see the team delivering us anything but a win

RedPeppers

Most people expect us to win but once again as was the case with our game against France the pressure is on us(with it being the whole Croke Park thing and having lost to France) I ust think that if England get out of the blocks quick we could struggle(go back to the first half against France). England to edge it for me im afraid. Hope i am wrong.

I don't agree; I think the pressure of the GS far outweighed, for the players, the occasion of winning the GS. Now that that pressure is gone, I think we'll see a much better Ireland today.
I really can't see how only the most determined pessimist can look at the side Ireland have and the one England have and expect us not to win.

mike65

Boy, England not at the races at all. Poor enough form both sides early on but Ireland found thier groove and England ill-disipline has cost them big time.

Ashton will have to make some changes. O'Sullivan needs to do nothing.

Mike.

England are being murdered, they are capable but they dont seem to have any idea of what to do with the ball and resort to kicking or just running into the irish line...both choices resulting in them being slapped quite hard.

Also alarm bells should ring for any team when one of your players commits such a blatant foul.

Sure was, but I dont think you were the only one.

Does anyone know what George(Hook) predicted before the game?

Hook predicted a draw.

Tbh, I never saw Ireland not winning by 15.
