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.

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.

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.
