    Thought this deserved a thread of its own considering the significance of the game, it being a grand slam decider and all

    Best of luck to the lads, lot of talk about this English side but there's some serious quality in our side too

    Hopefully this will set the tone for the weekend

    It's all a bit ridiculous, RTE showed some of the pervious games, the grand slam decider arrives and they show some run of the mill league of Ireland game. I suppose there's nothing they could do when it involves an English side. Was looking forward to it this evening. Meanwhile S4C are showing their u20s in what's a very one sided game after only 10 minutes.

    As you hint the problem is the fact that game is in England and Sky hold live rights. Remember also the French game wasn't shown live this season and AFAIK Scotland vs Ireland U20's games have never been covered live on RTE either.

    That is an absolutely terrible version of Ireland's Call! Too slow as well to top everything off. Did they miss the last line too?

    First I find out Frankie Sheehan is commentating and now England have just scored. This is a disaster already.

    Jesus ****ing Christ ref, never heard of advantage?

    We've just given a penalty away in the scrum, and the ball in a props hands 3m from our line is certainly preferable to a scrum!!!

    It was Qualter and then Conneely, Gilsenans at blindside.

    They took out McGrath the so and so's

    Knew exactly what he was doing. Coincidence that the best player gets taken out like that early on?

    Well done Paddy, there was a great tackle by McCall on Watson that allowed Henderson get the turnover in the build up to that score
