Ireland V England (Six nations) Who's your money on?

Question

As an Englishman, I hate to say it but I don't think we will win this one. It'll be close because we are a bit better now but I think a narrow defeat is on the cards.

Answer 1

Ireland by 10.....

I support 3 teams:

1) The Wallabies

2) Whoever's playing England

3) Whoever's playing Sth Africa ;-))

Answer 2

It'll be tough.  England sucks and Ireland is injured.  At the end of the day though,  I think Ireland's forward pack will do it's part and secure a victory.  The english backline has no flair, even with wilko back.  And England is pitiful in the loose forward department, something that Ireland is getting much better at.  Admittedly, BOD and O'Gara being injured won't help the Irish odds, my money is still on them.

Answer 3

as an irish girl i will have to support my team maybe it could be a draw and we could all be happy

Answer 4

this could be the best game of the championships this year. if both side play as them have then it will boil down to the kickers in which case England by the odd point ... I hope !!!

Answer 5

As an Englishman It makes you laugh, no matter who we play,  the whole world gets behind our opponents whether it be a Celtic connection or an Antipodean connect we seem to be the team you all love to hate, carry on, we only draw strength and determination from your pitiful bias. England, for a whole host of reasons, injuries, retirement, poor selection, c**p management, have had a bad time of things since 2003, we admit that, but there's a turn in the wind, I wasn't a supporter of Brain Ashton's appointment, personally would have gone for Dean Richards, but he's making some bold moves which so far are paying off and hint at long term-ism rather than knee jerk, we may not win this tournament, but watch out 'cause we are on are way back.

Answer 6

the irish will have uz no prob, ur not the team u used to be and we done great against france nearly bet them so my moneys deff on my team- IRELAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

i hope Ireland win but if we give away penalties in our own half johnny will make us pay. we need discipline

Answer 8

i feel the same way

Answer 9

ENGLAND WILL KICK ***

Answer 10

I believe the French have knocked the stuffing out of the Irish,its going to hard to come back after that defeat so im going for the red rose.

Answer 11

Did i read right ?an Englishman saying they didn't think they would beat Ireland, Ihave too agree as a Scotsman we always support anyone who plays against England

Answer 12

all depends if brian o'driscoll and ronan o'gara are playing. if theyre both back from ireland, my moneys on ireland. however, without them, its not great. although geordan murphys been playing well! hopefully ireland (i am welsh after all...!)

Answer 13

jammy french ba.stards, IRELAND will win triple crown again this year,but WE should have done grand slam,as i said "jammy french bastar.ds.

Answer 14

I think ireland will win,im sorry to say

but lets get this ole bollocks out of the way about jw yes he kicks a good game just like patterson/o gara/jones but how comes when they win by a kicking game its no big deal!!!!

i get really pissed of by the usual **** thats gets pumped around the net about jonny wilko.He is a truly gifted player and its funny how all the other nations players dont slag him off like the twats on here.He is the new six nations record holder so this surley proves how capable he is.

For all you biast scots that quote this abou boring jw cris patterson kicked 7 goals and only managed to win because of this.So before you start to slag england off think about how you win games first and this also goes for the welsh.The only  teams about  that are  playing  ok are ireland and france.

England might make a boring game (your words) but one thing is for sure is that they are the world champions.fact,and ok we will lose this next time round but al least we won it!!!

Answer 15

twas close against france!!! we nearly had em, and to think i was only wathcing rugby the other day for the first time lol

Answer 16

Ireland - why ask as you know everyone who not English will vote against you! Its just history - you reap what you sow!

Answer 17

I think Ireland will shade it. They will have a point to make especially after last weeks result against the french. England will need to improve a lot from the Italy game.

Answer 18

Ireland .. England hasn't really been playing all that well ... If it wasn't for Johnny ... hes been your saving grace so far !

Answer 19

Go England's opponents!

Answer 20

ireland,definitely

Answer 21

As an Irish girl i think Ireland will win cos we'll be playing in a fantastic stadium that is Croke Park and after the narrow defeat to France last week, we'll be eager to win. COME ON IRELAND!!!!!

Answer 22

IRELAND, and as my learned friend stated the french were jammy.

Answer 23

If England play how they played against Italy - then I am afraid to say, but they will lose. However If they play their best then it is very possible for us to win.

Answer 24

hope England win but it will be close especially if O'Gara and Driscoll are back, just hope its a great game, did you know it will be the first time the English national anthem will be played at Croke park.

Answer 25

England by 20 points. Ireland are good, but not good enough! I could go into all the technical reasons why, however - suffice to say it will be our day. Sorry Ireland.

Answer 26

As a Welshman I must (and do) back our Celtic cousins.

Will they back Wales against England?...they usually do..bless them.

Answer 27

Ireland are the safe bet.

But for value for money, bet England.

England probably won't win, but I personally think Ireland will be trying way too hard for this one, and they are wounded. Just remains to be seen whether England have enough maturity left to let Ireland beat themselves to death, or whether they will turn tail and run from a headless Irish onslaught.

This is the test of Ireland, can they bounce back with measured anger and skill, or has the dream evaporated.

The answer may not be as important for the 6N as it will be for Ireland's WC. I think they don't have what it takes, but now would be the time to prove me wrong.

Answer 28

P.M.A...... ENGLAND ALL THE WAY!

Answer 29

Ireland, England only play the kicking game now that wilko is back, Ireland will win for sure!

England have very little defence to this strong (cheating) team!

Answer 30

ireland - englands 10 man rugby have done well against poor teams but ireland should get more ball form their forwards and then their backs will rip england appart, especially in the centre where england are slow and predictable.

Answer 31

Sorry man, but Ireland has Brian O'Driscoll. Johnny used to be England's kicking machine but he's getting kinda rusty.
