North Louth is a famous historic region of the kingdom of Ulster however the English removed it from Ulster.

Murphy's performance doesn't surprise me at all. He's been better than ever since it was announced he was signing for Ulster. Great player.

Yep.

Been playing out of his skin in the hopes that Leinster decide not to let him go to that basketcase of a province.

We haven't seen a lot of him this season but Ringrose again showed that he's a special player. I hope to God he's fit for England, not only because he's our only fit outside centre, but because his talent is such that it deserves to be seen in the biggest games.

BBDBB · 10-03-2018 05:31PM

Great win, I liked the positive mentality we showed kicking for the corner, that type of attitude is What got us the BP

Individually I can’t think of anyone who had a bad game, Kearney or Ringrose was a coin toss for MotM

Scotland were a persistent threat, credit to them for still playing that style beyond the 80minutes, they will give someone an absolute tanking before long

And now Allez les Bleu

Eod100 · 10-03-2018 05:32PM

Have we more or less the Championship wrapped up so irrespective of England result?

No. England can still earn 10 championship points.

No England need a tbp win to be in contention

Dave_The_Sheep · 10-03-2018 05:37PM

What's the PD at the moment anyways?

PropJoe10 · 10-03-2018 05:38PM

Joe seems to think we have it in the bag already!

They can but that would only bring them level with us. Would need Ireland not to get lbp (likely if they were to get a tbp) but also make up a fairly sizeable points difference. Obviously it's a case of getting the tbp and they're still in with a shout but at this juncture i think it's a long shot for them

44 at the moment I think.

Joe sounds incredibly horse.

'It's pretty much wrapped up' says Joe Schmidt on TV3.

Wouldn't be quite that confident myself, but I trust in Joe.

I thought I was hallucinating when I heard that. He is talking as if we have won it already. Am I missing something? Did I misinterpret him? I'm 3 sheets to wind at the moment so not thinking clearly...

Yeah, he's a bit of a neigh-sayer.

Ehh it would mean Ireland on 4 wins and England on 2 wins with one game to go. Hardly university maths. Never mind bonus points.

So you don't play the 5 teams home and away for ten game total?

I'd be stalling the digger just slightly. It's looking good but not over yet.

Leaving RK aside, that's a real dirty shot at Quinlan

Kearney's been good going forward today, not my choice for motm cos he cost us a try, v poor tackling.

He is awful for patting the boys he knows on the back. It’s part of a stubborn attitude I feel where he thinks he can say he “beat” depression. It doesn’t work that way unfortunately.

I know it's against the charter to attack another poster, but you're some dick making assertions like that.

Joe is too much of a gentleman to get involved with eddies rubbish.

And Eddie doesn’t like it up him either. Not that I condone the carry on at the train station.

No, home field advantage alternates each year. So this year we had France and England away, and Wales, Italy, and Scotland at home. In 2019 the fixtures will be reversed so we will have France and England at home and the other three away.

Enlighten me. It's crazy, looney toons stuff.

Ireland does not need to play France at home?
Ireland does not need to play Scotland away?
Ireland does not need to play Wales away?
Ireland does not need to play Italy away?

No wonder Ireland are top of table. How is it fair that England play say Scotland away, but we don't need to.
