For anyone watching on RTE Conor O'Shea is talking great sense here, while Brent Pope is talking absolute sh1te

He'll be eating some amount of humble pie if England pull this off

Shame you collapsed against England.
I hope it's the only time we collapse against England this year I think it's all part of Gatlands mind games

Was it O'Shea or Pope that said the Australia try was legit in November?

Woodward is definitely positive England can do it.

Losing to an injury riddled English side isn't unlucky!

They were tbh

Ireland as good as they were still left 9 points out there. Very harsh though, as winning by 30 in the first place even against that team was mental!!

Has this been the best day of Rugby ever?
We need to keep these games staggered on the last day of competition it makes it extra exciting.

I think England's injuries have been greatly exaggerated, many of them turned out to be Blessings in disguise

Dunno but Pope is doing his utmost to jinx Ireland. O'Shea is very level headed

I wonder if they'll bring on Danny Chipolata for the last minute this time.

Strange that the BBC began the broadcast of the England game by showing an amazing French try, talking about France and then showing England's recent near misses.

England haven't been taking enough of their chances this tournament so i think it's likely Ireland's championship.

As Conor O'Shea said Ireland missed a shedload v wales though, things change from week to week. It's been that kind of day, I just have this awful feeling England are going to give this a serious go

I'd much rather a Sunday than a Friday. There was no atmosphere in Cardiff for the England match. Normally the pubs are buzzing before the match but there was nothing this year and far too much trouble in the stands during the match. Friday night adds nothing to the six nations apart from the fancy fireworks.

First 15 mins will be crucial. If England are about ten up by then, it gets worrying
England have started well, if they keep up this pace they'll probably do it.

Seems to be a big French crowd at Twickenham, I can hear them roaring La Marseillaise from the stands.
