6 Nations 2013

O'Driscoll became a dad this morning, hopes he puts in another big performance today.

Saw that
I have two reasons to not want him to score a try now, one as he's not English and two, he may do one of those baby celebrations
 
This is going to be a game of dropped passes and knock forwards thanks to the rain.
 
Yeh

Got to think scrum will be important as surely be plenty of ball-handling issues
Oh and a battle between the place-kicking of Sexton and Farrell

Sexton would walk that if he plays as well as he can.
 
Could well be a slow one at the breakdown. It's all about the scrum today, anyone who tries to recycle and move the ball too quick will just have it slipping through fingers.

Great to see the English fans coming over and drinking Guinness having the craic with the locals! This is sport!
 
I hate the lack of Tri Colours though.

Yeh. Scrum will be massive
If one team is dominant and winning penalties, then that will make a big difference

On paper, I think the English front five (and forward subs) is better, but don't win anything on paper
 
Jesus, the English lads are tone deaf.

I don't think so, I reckon it's pretty even, and Heaslip will dominate.
 
COME ON IRELAND!

27-17 to Iraldn
 
Few of the Irish big boys look like they're about to murder.

Front 5 is different to back row

Your back row is definitely better, but the front five of England's for me is better - whether that is how it turns out in the game, we'll see

And with Vunipola, Hartley and Lawes on the bench that is some firepower up front
 
Come on lads, is this a concert or a game of rugby?
 
Community inclusiveness and all that jake.

Healy---Best---Ross
---McCarthy--Ryan
O'Mahony--Heaslip--O'Brien
--------Murray
------------------Sexton
------------------------------Darcy
----------------------------------------O'Driscol
Zebo-----------------------------------------------Gilroy
--------------------------Kearney

Thats some team
 
Stupid penalty to give away, no need for it.
 
England 3-0 Ireland
Fillons - penalty 2m
 
Jesus Heaslip, has to catch that.
 
That's a yellow if you ask me.
 
O'Mahoney is a very strong ball carrier.
 
Not a good start at all here from Ireland
 
Good basketball Twelvetrees.

Ireland sloppy all round at the moment. Zebo off.
 
England looking composed and solid. Ireland looking a mess.
