I think them english boys could batter us up front. We'll have to win with less possession, less territory and playing away from home....help

It certainly won't be easy, England are a hugely powerful team, and we will have to maintain focus and concentration throughout the duration of the match. I have to say, I am hopeful of victory, and have faith in Schmidt's coaching ability to counter the England threat.

If we use the tactic which worked so well against Wales, of kicking over the top of their defence and releasing the speed merchants to chase ball, we could nullify England's obvious strength advantage. thumbs up

If anyone has a belief system where they can pray or make offerings to a deity which can guarantee a quick cure for a stomach bug, we need BOD fit and well for the weekend.ireland

His contribution to the Irish rugby team is phenomenal both as a player, organiser and talisman. I truly believe that if he had lasted the full duration of the NZ game we would have beaten the All Blacks.

Sure if their rugby players are 1/2 as good as the cricket team....no bother for ireland - It'll be a real cracker though but we got the advantage even awayireland

I dunno, he has that bit of flair, and incredible hands, but he doesn't seem to be Schmidts's flavour of the day.dunno

I was talking to a mate about that tackle on BOD, jeez what a cruncher, and after he recovered, he just smiled at the Welsh lad and got on with it.

If some of them soccer boys got a belt like that you would never see them on a field again.laugh

It is hard to properly define what has gone wrong with Scottish Rugby, sad to see a once great nation resigned to perpetual battlers for the wooden spoon.

Yeah, we have a Triple Crown to play for at the weekend, and I am not going to jinx anything by mentioning the words slam or grand. laugh

Shush you talk to hand

What the hell is going on with France? I almost felt sorry for them tonight, not quite, but almost.

I dunno, I'm nervous about tomorrow. The expectation on those guys is going to be huge, just a pity we're not at home ireland
