If it is decided by Pts diff ( im prety sure thats what RTE said ) alle we need it to beat Italy by more than France Scotland and add 4 points to that.

I was amazed that the whole RTE panel punted for Ire to win 6N next week.

I absolutely cant wait for it!

Ha! Ireland should be glad of this result.

Just back from watching it in my local pub.

Some Irish fans were cheering on France. My friend said 'surely you're glad that England won?'

They responded saying that they 'could never shout for England' and would prefer to see Ireland not win the Six Nations.

Talk about negative nationalism - preferring to hate England more than love Ireland.

Proper Irish attitude.:rolleyes:
I hope you get to eat those words next week.

So do i, but i am pretty sure i wont. We'll struggle to beat italy let alone notch up a good score. It iwas in croke park it would be different, but the fact we are away and France are at home makes them clear favourites.

Its Chucky ffs, hes here to keep our feet on the ground.

It skind of poetic that If ire win the 6N tha it will be by vitue of the record score we racked up against England and then them turning he French!!

For all the hype that was in the Croke park visit!

Six Nations 2007 Championship Winner
France 4 - 11 Ireland 2 - 1 England 100 - 1

France still odds on??!!!?? Now there is good value on Ireland surely... Now the French really are set up to choke especially given they will take the field knowing exactly what they need to score versus a fired up Scot team that will fancy another bogey on them.

Just out of curiosity did anyone hear Brian Moores (the bbc commentator's) remarks about the French player who was being stamped in the first half during the England game?

I could of sworn I heard him say something like 'I dont care, he's French'.........bad form

He is an idiot, no matter what he says.

I'll laugh if England win the Championship after thier performances. Whats with those Irish names (Flood, Geraghty) doing so well?

Mike.

Brian Moore's not so hot though, is he?

And really, it's not like any team in the 6N hasn't got players whose names are obviously foreign; once they put the shirt on though, that's the team they play for.

I actually switched over RTE when i heard the BBC commentator make those comments. Thats how bad i thought it was.

Just put 60 euro on England to win the championship. Got it a 100-1 at 8pm on PaddyPower.

I now notice the odds are down to 67-1 and even 20-1 on ladbrokes.

Do you think I have any chance?!!!

Have a look at the table . England are only +13 whereas ourselves and France are +30 or so. Difficult for England I'd say but you never know. The French are probably still favourites.

I'd say IF England were to win the c'ship, it would probably be due to us and France losing and them winning next weekend. Highly unlikely but worth 100-1, I MO.

60 euro on a 100-1 shot? Very slim chances. I dont see england beating wales very heavily.

spanner

I am just thinking, the scots do us a favour, a good game in Italy and Brave Inca to win in the Horses... I am starting to think our patrons staints weekend will be a good one!

After this weekends results I'd say its very possible England will stick it to the Welsh, as they are down and out after an abysmal 6 nations.

It's a tough one - it could go either way. England have restored their pride, and Wales have an awful lot to prove. It seems like it wouldn't be the 6 nations without an upset on the final weekend. Just hope it isn't because the Italians won 3 in a row!

there you go kids, a prime example of why you should not gamble

Italy can win the 6N now !!! Unbelievable but true!

If they beat us they will have 6 points, Fr and Eng lose they will remain on 6 as Irl will be so, conceiveably but very unlikely a routing over ireland with the other 2 games falling into place It can win it.
( -26 pts Diff to over haul 1st )!!!!!

If Eng are 100-1 thats worth a 5er at 1000-1 or what ever it is. I noticed PP have no odds displayed for this result.

At the very least they will be difficult to over turn for passion at the very least going into a home last game with a 6 point finsih up for grabs!
Scotland will ruin the French pary with negatuve play and at least I feel keep their scoring down. Maybe its possible for Irl to win it.

arctictree

PaddyPower now have England at 50-1

So the 100-1 I got for them seems to be good value.

Italy could beat us on present form, Scotland like to spoil the party, so you never know....

Ire need to Lose
Fra need to lose
and Eng need to clawback 25 on Ire and 29 points on france in the process.

ie Ire and Lose and Eng score ( assuming both lose by 1 pt ) 30 points more than Wales.

At 100:1 its a "punt" but its a REEEEEEEEAAAAAAAL long shot.

mathematicaly Italy can win it too!
