@sparky Yeah, like the last team were too strong for Scotland

You'll be fine. It's BAU against an Irish team in decline.

England by a comfortable 15-20.

Far from comfiortable but advantage England if Prendergast starts IMO.

Ireland are a team on the wane.. they are capable of grinding out a win v England who are also limited.
Farrell needs to make some big calls to reinvigorate his team sooner rather than later.

Might help if you didn't have fat, slow loosies and a lightweight front row.

@Bones

Not. Going. To. Respond...

Dammit!

In a game where I would like both to lose....I'm going with the puffy poms to make a huge statement.

Yeah, this is a damn hard one to pick - I'm going for 0-0 all draw.

I think I have Stockholm Syndrome as I'd want the Wallabies to beat both these teams and that's something I never would have thought possible.

I was going to say that I slightly preferred England, but then I remembered they are starting Pillock Pollock.

I think we just heard the biggest over hype of the century.

Watching Arundel is like watching someone playing cheat code, like playing with Jonah Lomu in the Lomu game in the 90s.

Wowsers

Pollock knocks on, recollects, gets tackled, doesn't release, still held, tries to get back up....

Play on.

Snoorefest so far only highlight is @jet s I mean Itoje’s boots. Lots of errors and turnovers otherwise

Ford is having a mare

Ireland look the better side to me…. But the scrum

England really out of sorts again......

Sideline guy? Not the main commentator or the Irish guy.

This is unbelievably low quality stuff so far.

Just dire.

Cream of the crop of NH club rugby here, the class will shine through.

James Lowe has done so many clearing kicks so far you would swear he was a half

England looking much worse after spending time with Steve Borthwick.

A kiwi scores.

Irish JGP, unwanted in super rugby showing NH superiority.

Long live Borthwick

Pillock has not impressed. .. at all

England 0 Ireland 10.

England stood like statutes while JGP took a quick tap.

No chariots seen

Millar would've nailed that

I would have nailed that. I played lock

Twickenham is like a library.

JGP called back when he look likely to score a second try.

Worth another look IMHO.

Red is as shit as ever

He might have been trying to catch it, but was he in a realistic position to? Not sold on that

Think Gibson park was clear imho

Shit from the Irish, shit from the English, shit from the ref.

Only JGP showing any quality or class.

Alex Mitchell limping off with an injury.

Fcuking rain in Sri Lanka making me watch this

Great try Ireland good vision Gibson park again

Ireland score again. Terrible English defence.

Geeze England are shit

How the fuck did the All Blacks lose to this Pommy mob?
