    I just heard a stat from Matt Dawson on the radio. In games where Ireland have 6 kicks at goal or more they win 90% of the time. He didn't say how far that goes back but it shows the importance for England to remain disciplined in their own half.

    From this:

    I don't get the Ire-Eng too much anymore. I'd much rather give Wales a good beating or beat any of the southern hemisphere top 3.

    The Ireland England game is the only show in town as there's a grand slam up for grabs.

    Don't disagree and its a massive game just the traditional ire v eng thing adds nothing to it for me.

    I know! English coaches aren't supposed to complement Ireland, or even to the opposition in general, who does he think he is?!

    Hook going all-guns out on Schmidt. Schmidt is more conservative than Kidney and more controlling than EOS. He isn't wrong either.

    And even if he does win the GS he will only have equalled DK as Ireland coach.

    He is correct! We are pkaying ugly rugby and winning. Kidney did the same.

    There is a serious love in with Schmidt and the players haven't been getting enough credit.

    On an unrelated note, I'm kind of getting tired of seeing that 40 year Old kid flipping the coin for the two teams on the ulster bank ad.

    The timing might be slightly off. Think bbcs stream is a little behind the live tv (could be wrong)

    The pessimistic/realist in me says we'll get pushed around by England in the scrum giving away too many penalties and our maul won't be effective. Also, the lineout is a slight worry.
    Ireland 13 England 22.

    And when you think about the quality not in the team they are ramping up to be the best bet of a NH WC winner.
