Congratulations to Ireland, Nuts. The best team in the 6 Nations by some way. I think you'll get the Slam, but you're right not to be overconfident at Twickenham. England too predictable and error strewn today. That'll keep Eddie Jones up nights.
The Irish are so much more disciplined than England, it's been our downfall so often and they just can't afford to give the Irish a sniff next week but cheap penalties will be costly...
Ireland won’t beat England at Twickenham. Jones will hop off them this week. I expect a big back lash.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a much changed England team next week, we'll see in reality how much strength in depth we have...
I really think it will be the opposite Sooper. Maybe 1 or 2 changes. Jones has proven to be dogmatic and he will send them out with a rocket up their xxxxx
England have technical and disciplinary problems that may not be resolved in a week. As Sooper said, new blood perhaps. Either way, it'll be a great occasion and I'm already looking forward to it.
Why do England give away so many stupid needless penalties every game The all blacks will hardly be quaking in their boots
Yeah, it's disrespectful and not helpful. The Irish have been fantastic this season, and for me are favourites on Saturday. I like Eddie Jones, but he really has got to stop running his mouth in this way
7 changes to the England side and the Ford/Farrell axis is broken up so everything seems to favour the Irish today, the lure of a Grand Slam on Paddy's Day should be all the incentive they need to reply to Jones' insult...
Ford has been horribly out of sorts and Farrell may have more influence at 10. Dropping Care also necessary, he is a ‘finishing’ scrum half. We have missed Young’s.
Always in control of this, very impressive. England trying hard but looking very two dimensional, the last 3 games have really exposed them. Was reading somewhere that Jones may be one of these short term impact coaches, his methods and the way he manages relationships give diminishing returns over time as the players get used to it and turn off. Apparently his record elsewhere backs this analysis up, though I haven’t looked at it.
Ireland well deserved Champions. Great performance today, creative, coordinated and disciplined. England way off the pace all tournament in every department.
Well done Ireland, far and away the best team in the tournament. A real comedown for England from thinking they might be world-beaters to the prospect of finishing 5th if France beat Wales...
Two batteling performances today. Massive second half from my beloved Rs and dominating performance from my homeland. I can’t tell you how drunk I’m going to get tonight. Life’s for living.
