How come Ireland never play like this against us?

Wales in the ascendancy. 18-10.

It felt smelly in the build up, new manager bounce, roof closed, they were 25/1, we rotated, Doris out and a red card. Going to be hard to turn this around but we can do it

And why never against ye, we take ye very seriously

[ChesterDave]

I thought it was against the rules to leap over a tackle like that to score a try?

I know forward passes are against the rules. Doesn't help the argument that other sports can competently use VAR but footy can't when you see stuff like that

New manager bounce coming vs us now FFS, Wales are a team that always have the ability to “come from nowhere” and deliver a result. It used to be they’d rock up un fancied and win a grand slam!

Makes the game vs us tougher now but let’s see

Not a chance. It's going to be another 40 pointer

[Slinky Skills]

Nah, we are garbage at the moment. You will destroy us.

[Buzzo]

Not a ****ing chance you lose to them.

[Irishnev]

And there he goes!

No surprise really, smashed by France and apart from 5 minutes late on, our lot never looked interested against Italy. Absolutely clueless

No really sure how much a new coach can do with the players available, but they can surely bring a better game plan?

Wales were shocking two late tries papered over the cracks. Gatland has got to go surely?

Yeah the injuries were brutal for us, but after a fairly **** first half (it took an hour) I thought you lot had us at arms length all game. To be competitive against you we need perfect conditions and no injuries, but we just dont have the game to really take it to you.

Slam on for you guys for sure.

[Irishnev]

Looking forward to the game.

We are a decent team across all aspects now strong pack, particularly back tow, strong half backs strong backs. But we don’t seem to have enough to beat you lot the South Africans or the All Blacks.

Tom Jordan in is a good selection he made a difference last weekend.

I think it will be a tight game. I think you lot will edge it.

You must ****ing hate us, bad luck for ye with the head clash but a bonus point win in Murrayfield is huge. Beat Wales and a triple crown is ours and beat FR at home and it’s a grand slam. Thankfully, no injuries and we get a week to recover now

[Buzzo]

They could have been 20 points clear at HT.

Second half was crazy very loose. But England finally managed to see one across the line will do lots for their confidence.

[Sus]

Wow what a finish and great game

France will be devo they lost that

[Buzzo]

Fair play to England hung in all game. France butchered two or three run ins in the first half, but England were very good second half. Playing Smiths at 10 and 15 seemed to work.

[Sus]

How France aren’t ahead by 2-3 tries is crazy -
England doing well just to stay in it, France have bombed lots of golden opportunities
