I'm not going to gloat - tempting as it may be. England WERE the better team over the 6N championship - and no doubt they'll go further in the WC.
Johnson however can **** off. The arrogant **** had the nerve to talk about how they "knew" that Ireland would try and slow their ball down. Well Johnson, who had to try and slow the ball down in the end? You rooster!
Ashton anonymous again apart from handbags on the touchline
EDIT: Apologies, I think I went into a mini-gloat there.

Gloat away you Hunk a spunk of burning Irish love. England were pretty poor not at playing the game but in heart and commitment. Bannahan is just rubbish, the two Kiwis were rubbish, no leader on the pitch untill Thompson came on. Ashton exposed as the show pony??? a long way away from the player lauded as the next world beater.
Ireland played with passion and heart and wanted the win.
Great game for the neutral

Could have been a lot worse, like battling for the wooden spoon rather than the grand slam

Englands weaknesses were there to be exploited and Ireland did so superbly. Where was England creative attacking play?

Good rugby to watch so far! Scotland got some tries, and Ireland looked like an amazing team again!

In the context, the hammering of the championship, that.

As usual in any sport everyone wants to beat the english!! Admittedly we were poor and ireland were awesome, never gave england any time on the ball. Ogara still got some skills tho!!

Rather patronising to the Irish team there wrightyson. Ireland had more to prove to themselves and their fans today. It was the last chance in the 6N to show what they can do. It transcends merely "beating the English", which to be fair, hasn't really been much of a problem in recent years.

Couple of cracking games this avo. Scotland finally turned up in the 2nd half of the last game of the 6N. Scored a couple of tries but more importantly actually looked like scoring tries.
Ireland were focused and committed and just blew England away in the 1st 20 mins.
27 points for the Welsh will be a bit too much. I see France reacting to their loss by attempting to flatten them.

At what point was describing the Irish as awesome patronising??? Fool!

Fool!
Oooh. Get you girlfriend. Personal insults...tut tut.

i agree wrightyson personally I thought it was just the usual english arrogance to be fair.

Yes no scalp is higher priced than that of the fine and noble english folk and lets be honest we all know that no one really wants to win in any sport unless it is against england who excel in all they do...well except humilityPosted 1 year ago # -
Beating England is the highlight of the day for the Irish. More important than anything else. They were the better team undoubtedly, England never turned up.
La Frogs vs. Sheep Cuddlers now, should be good

Well done Ireland, just played very good rugby. Now then, what's Shaun Edwards done?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Come on Welshies, some of you have got ears in the right places, what has Edwards said or done???

Congratulations to the Irish BTW - a very well deserved win. Made the form team of the tournament look like rank amateurs with their nous, aggression and all round vision.
Hope England can learn from this kicking but i doubt it, we'll still see 'happy' looking clueless in the centre. He had several chances to put men into space tonight but instead chose to run into a green wall.Posted 1 year ago # -
Oh hello muddy, you've been quiet since the first half.
EDIT: just seen your next post. Fair dues.
And Hairychested, the fans enjoy it more than the players. This particular batch of players are kinda used to beating the English.

@DD, I know - your lot were vastly superior than theirs. Not only today but over the years.

Can't knock that Irish display, you have to wonder why they struggle to perform like that against other teams tho. Hoping for Wales to win by a point or two..
England the best team of the tournament, as the table currently show.
Bet the southern hemisphere teams are pissing themselves, all 6 teams would get mullered at the mo!!

Its TRUE tho, even the Albanians play like barca when it comes to playing engerland at football! However the Irish firmly deserved the win, harried hustled generally upset England every (short) period we had possession! Oh and junkyard, **** humility, all I wanna do as an England fan is win win win!
Posted 1 year ago # -
Ireland played better and won, fair enough.
England lack belief, as with many England sporting teams.
they still deserve to win the tournament though
Posted 1 year ago # -
After that display i'm not so sure England do deserve the tournament win
It doesn't matter anyway. It was GS or bust for England and that's gone.
Posted 1 year ago # -
why?
surely winning the tournament is a good result?
best in the northern hemisphere?
where are the real England fans on this thread?Posted 1 year ago # -

Hoping for Wales to win by a point or two..If the referee and his assistants knew the rules of the game in the Wales-Ireland game, Ireland would be up there with England on 8 points tonight
Despite Easter and Johnson saying that possibly winning the 6 Nations tonight is totally overshadowed by being outplayed and outclassed by Ireland, it's interesting to note that Johnson put on older experienced players in the 2nd half to stem the flow of Irish points and thus give Wales an unlikely target.
