Cheers mate - looking forward to it. Haven’t got my usual feeling of there is an upset on the cards. Just need to avoid getting 50 put on us

My mum and Dad were out with their Irish pals last night who are over as usual for the game. Looks like they went at it pretty hard

Will be interesting to see the state of them when we meet at 12.

Worst of luck Buzzo - May the Irish side win + enjoy the day

Haha - how the tables get turned another day skiing survived

In an Irish bar in Zakopane - no rugby but United on! Good internet so streaming the game - tough first half with both sides missing good chances. Ireland with 3 players off in the pack already so that might tell later……. V close and hard to call.

I think I saw Buzzo in the crowd - some Scottish beardy guy

[Doc_Piptorious]

jumped the gun LOL

Buzzo McBuzzkill, can you hear me?

Buzzo McBuzzkill, I have a message for you on your drive home.

We have a message for you.

We have beaten Scotland in the Six Nations.

Buzzo McBuzzkill, as they say in your language in the piss soaked backstreets around the Royal Mile in Edinburgh: "Your boys took a hell of a beating!"

Your boys took a hell of a beating!

Buzzo McBuzzkill. Ireland have beaten Scotland at rugby.

We're the best in the world!

It's Ireland twenty two, Scotland seven. What a fabulous day for rugby, world peace and that robin that sings on my windowsill.

3 injuries in the pack inside 20 mins (inc Sheehan and Dorris!), Kelleher off at half time. Full second half with Healy at hooker and Josh throwing line out……. Scotland will never get a better chance than that……lying in the long grass til the WC

Ringrose looked a real bad one Delighted with that win but let’s see who’s fit vs England

Ringrose will be a massive loss. We saw just how important he is when he was out for the game against Italy.


Gutting for him to to be missing the game against England what with is at stake.

Great result despite all the injuries though against what is a very good Scottish side. Personally think that Scotland were unlucky to have lost against France.

This Ireland team is looking like one that believes in it's number one ranking in the world and that sort of belief can carry a team when missing key players.


Been very impressed with Italy this six nations even though they have lost all four games thus far. The manner in which they played in each of those games bodes well if they can build on that combination of good ball playing and great team spirit

Henshaw can play at 13, not as well Ringrose but he’ll do a good job. Kelleher and Henderson also out so hopefully Sheehan pulls through and Baird starts. Dorris hopefully back as well…… let’s see who’s fit and go from there

Winning the lot against England would be a great mark to put down ahead of the WC.

Hungover.

Was a really good match, the first half was brutal. Lots of big hits which left a trail of walking wounded. Richie Gray went off after about 5 mins for us and then a trail of Irish. With no Gilcheist either we don’t quite have the depth of other teams for replacements and Cummings and Jonny Gray aren’t quite at the same level.

First half was very competitive, though not on the scoreboard I thought we edged it, should have taken more points.

Second half there was only one team in it. To my mind only South Africa have done that to us in a half at Murrayfield in the 7 years I’ve been going.

On to the last round. We’ve got the early game against Italy. Not sure who will be fit for us either, Russell had loads of strapping on his leg and went off at the end.

At least I don’t have to drink

Can’t see Ireland ****ing up vs England. England will have to put in a performance after Saturday, they can’t be they bad again - but even allowing for that Ireland are too good. The tempo that Gibson-Park brought from the bench was very impressive.

Hope Ringrose is ok, that was about a ten minute stoppage.

Irish media saying he was dizzy but up and about post game. Clearly his tournament is over but prob a few weeks HIA

[Buzzo]

Ringrose and Henderson out for you, Hogg and (more worryingly) Russell out for us.

A few being monitored both sides.

Kelleher as well, was out for a very long time with a shoulder injury and they’re saying he’s had a reoccurrence. He’s really excellent and would be a big loss - not much between him and Sheehan

[Irishnev]

The top 5 teams all on the same side of the draw ffs
