Do Wales stand a chance?

Welsh match about to start. What a motley looking crew!! All eligible Ospreys players in the starting XV for Wales, 13/15. Don't think EOS or any Irish manager would have the guts to put the Munster XV (or close enough) in for Ireland - Whatever their European Cup form.

England by 20+

We got the tim burton version of the anthems over RTE. the sound is absolutely appalling, and the picture was brutal for the Irish game.

What are they up to?

It sounds perfect on the BBC.

Here we go. Sound back now.

Aye the RTE Picture for the Croker game was shocking, and the national anthems were just a dirge. (that said God save the Queen is a fecking unisoiring dirge)

Substitutes all over the gaff. Wales 6 was out cold with blood streaming from his mouth..definitely not a good sign! Walked off though.

Good match so far. Few stupid kicks from Wales.

athtrasna

At least it's a more entertaining game so far!

Sherifu

Nice Try

Akrasia

Loving this,brian thing,the commentator going mad,england are pony and trap

I suppose it doesnt help that 4 of your players get injured before the 1st half has even ended

Sherifu

England are self destructing like a mission impossible tape.

Well basically all the places where England just knew they couldnt get injured they did which is unlucky you have to say. Lewsey will get a re-call.

So cheer up lads not a bad day at all with this result coming ^^

Sherifu

Wow, great for the six nations...

Best Weekend I've had in a long time.... Loved the match...

this was the most enjoyable rugby match I have seen in a long time. think wales are going to surprise some other teams this year (hopefully not us too) but fair play to them anyway. delighted for gatland too as i thought we gave him a bit of a rough deal

Dont know i still think that the only other victories they will pick up is against Italy and Scotland [depends] I dont think they played that well against England i just think England just played just awfull that fell into Wales hand's. So yeah if they go on with the amount of turnovers like they did in the first half well then in theory teams should be putting them to bed
