Ireland england rugby misery?

Question

ireland 43 england 13 i bet your chariots are swinging very low at the moment ireland will be next world champions

Answer 1

Gloat while you can my friend.

Ireland played a fantastic game and I have no excuses to offer.

But do you really think you would have stood a chance without Roan O'Gara. I think not!!!!

Answer 2

to blue bird

johnny average ffs do your maths,admitted he and none of the england players had a good game but how can you say he is average when he holds the six nations record.This makes your ronan 0 gara really average (which he is clearly not)

yes we lost to irleand and yes they fully deserved it.As been said we were outplayed everywhere.And ronan had a real good game,the best he has played for his country in years but he too has off days and quite a few but he was a far better player than jw on this particular day.

Ireland world champs nah we have no chance along with wales and scotland but i feel france could take it. But you never know,me personally would like to see scotland win it if we stood no chance but hey its not going to happen.

Answer 3

great too see.

good for rugby world wide. a small country like ireland showing how it should be done and, no matter how small the country is if you have the right management, players, captain, passion and lots of heart you will succeed.

i am a springbok supporter and wish the springboks played that way they would win the world cup then.

but at this present moment ireland should be there in the final with the all blacks or the french team.

go ireland.

Answer 4

I saw that. Unfortunately for the Irish it was as much England being poor. Ireland are 3 or 4 world ranking.

Answer 5

Enjoy the moment, we`ll be back. Next world champions? Dream on.

Answer 6

The chariot is still dented from when the Irish beat us after the world cup. It is in for long term repairs, but it will come good again.

The Irish have a strong team, but they will not win the world cup. The French are not quite there yet, but on home turf and with the crowd behind them... who knows. My money is still on NZ.

Answer 7

This ireland side is an all round better rugby team than the english side that won the world cup in 2003.



this match was ace, seeing johnny being shown for the average mug he is against class opposition and the english getting stuffed

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Ok I just wat to say that England got HOCKEYED by Ireland in Croke park of all places...the english team even said to the papers that they had no excuses or way to hide...d**n right...now the only problem for Ireland is that they are not the big side the the southern hemisphere teams are...but incase you guys sisnt notice...Ireland beat both South Africa and Austrialia recently. France the other week yea...but that was against an Irish team under immense pressure from the country to performe in that stadium and they messed up a lil....but france only scored their winning try in the last 2 mins...so dont be so confident france will do well against ireland in the future...There were so real ignorant english guys on yahoo question talkin bout them winning if they dressed like black an tans....if they had not one of them would have left that stadium alive...not without an army escort out of the area around that stadium...especially that area...also the hill 16 stand was built with rubble from the 1916 easter uprising on top of the black and tans incident.....as for the world cup...Ireland still have work to do...but they WILL be playin NZ in the final....it wont be an easy game...but im confident Ireland can pull it off...talk all you want to about france SA and Oz...but this country has like 4 million people in it...compared to france with what 50 or somethin...this lil country is makin a big impression on world rugby...get ready for an Irish world cup winning side....oh and again...tickets to a monumental game: 200 euro

money for beer, food and finding a way to get back to the righ county in the morning: 400 euro

Ireland beating england by a record score in Croke park!?

Priceless!

Answer 9

I hope that they will because they deserve to be. The Scots, Welsh and English teams are just shot to peices with tiredness and that old word apathy.

Nettie UK lass.

Answer 10

Adolph R, if you look at the draw for the RWC, there is no way there can be a France - Ireland final. They're in the same group!!!

Similarly, an Australia - NZ final is impossible, they will meet each other in a semi final.

Possible combinations for the final are:

NZ - France

NZ - Sth Africa

NZ - Ireland.

Ireland's chances of making the final hinge on their pool game against France. If they beat France, they will most likely top Group D, and in so doing avoid meeting NZ in the quarter finals.

Instead they'll meet the runner up of NZ's group (Scotland or Italy), which is a relatively easy game for them, and book themselves a semi final slot against Sth Africa. Win that one and they're through to the final.

My money is on a NZ - Ireland final............

Answer 11

England were OK

Ireland played well, nice to see O'Connell wake up and actually join in for the first time in a long time.

But your dream of a world cup is a bit far fetched.

I don't think NZ, France, SA, Argentina or even Australia were worrying too much watching that.

Answer 12

1) Are Ireland better than England? Yes for the forseeable future. Remember though that this is the best Irish side in my lifetime and (I hate to say) one of the worst England sides in the same period.

2) Will Ireland win the world cup? Look at history. When was the last time you beat the All Blacks? France, SA, Australia are capable. Don't think Ireland have the defence to do it, look how France sliced through your defence when they needed to. What would the All-blacks do to it? Run in 50+ points I'd imagine.

Answer 13

It was a poor show by England, but to be fair, the better side won on the day.

Answer 14

Was great to see.  But I have bad news my friend.  Ireland will NEVER win the world cup.  It was a fluke that England won it.  No one from the northern hemisphere will win it ever again.  The Tri-nations is a far superior competition and thats why Argentina don't really want to join it.
