Ireland are like the NZ in the Dan Carter era or England 00-03 so I expect a minimum 20 point win. Anything less will be a disappointing for the champions elect. Italy beat Scotland and Ireland nilled italy. Ireland 30-Scotland 0
If only it worked like this !


... we'd be World Champions .... sniff
We're more like pre-2003 England (how many grand slams did they blow?), a damn good team but not quite there in terms of dealing with everything that comes their way.
I was being a bit tongue in cheek but the All Blacks got knocked out in the 07 1/8 final and that era England blew 3 grand slams.

Right switched channels. Looking forward to this one. Looks dry, Scotland with nothing to lose and angry, Ireland want to bounce back after a setback.

Scotland don't really do angry. And definitely not like POM.

? They always sound and look angy. It's just relative and dependant upon drink consumed.

Nah, Scottish people are the nicest. And the Scotland rugby team is extremely generous.

Putting someone in a headlock while shouting ‘come on you ya Cunt’ is an act of affection.

Ahh, I see. And a Glasgow kiss is just meant to be that but a bit mistimed.

I really wish they'd pension off Hastings and let Beattie Jnr in the comms box.

Ref clearly stated why the pen was given. Commentator confirms. Colour commentator gets it completely wrong...

They never ever learn. 3 solid line outs to the front. Now we will go long.

It is such a bad throw. There was margin of error and even then short is better than long.

C’mon ref. Don’t call Dorris off for joining the side of the ruck. Just penalise him.

This. Happens all the time, but often the damage of slowing the ball is done.

Feel lile no Finn Russel cut out pass will do any good against a set Irish defence with 14 players on their feet.
