The Rugby Thread

The WC draw is done way too early.

Lineups are out, even with injuries Ireland look too strong. Am concerned about us with Kinnghorn at 10. Borthwick changes his 10 again.

Skiing last week and just packing up to leave Prague this morning……. man, I’m wrecked! Looking forward to getting home to watch this in the comfort of my own house! Ireland should win on form but England have picked a team to try to bash them up - will need the crowd to drive them on

[Buzzo]

Enjoy the day mate and good luck. There will be plenty of honorary Irishmen cheering you on!

Still making my way across CZ - had a couple of power naps. 4 nights out in a row including a heavy one on Wednesday I’ve been far removed from it tbh but once I get the tv on I’ll kick into gear

A hot shower and a cup of strong coffee needed!

[Irishnev]

Scotland win, with Ben Healy making his debut….. France already looking like a big score is incoming!

[Buzzo]

Pretty stodgy performance from us today. Nervy finish but we did what we needed to. Our attach without Russell looks a bit one dimensional.

France starting to demolish Wales.

[Buzzo]

This French team is so good to watch.

[Irishnev]

Really not liking our start here - very unlike us….. not good

[RichC]

High energy pressure from us at the moment. Working well but be shocked if we can keep
This up

[Buzzo]

Much better from England.

Wish Dallalgio wasn’t on comms. He is ridiculously one eyed.

This isn’t a surprise - England we’re going to fight and go bodies on the line. We are just making some bad decisions but we can play better which is the hope. We need to build phases and run them - they are giving away a lot of pens as well

I was v nervous about this game - we’ve spoilt their party so many times….. the owe us!

[Buzzo]

Breakthrough.

Huge hole in the English defence off the back off the line out.

[Irishnev]

Get in Sheehan - some pace

[RichC]

Good try that.

Being in contact with the Irish is a step forwards off the French match
