Glengirl: Shush you

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
Hello glen the problem with the French is there arrogance whether its football or rugby, they have no passion and pride wearing the French jersey. More than likely a problem in the french camp as usual.Ireland has a great opportunity to win the Championship out now and im pretty confident we'll win the Triple Crown this evening. Come on Ireland

A trifle disappointed here.

As expected England were amazingly strong in the tackle and quick in defence, really putting us under pressure from the off.

But, with a bit of luck we could have stolen a victory.

Anyway not to worry, I have a good positive feeling regarding Schmidt as coach, and we are in with a great chance of winning the championship.

Two more games to look forward to, Come on Ireland.ireland

Any team that represents Ireland, play under the tricolour & sing our National Anthem.

So to turn on that match yesterday and hear Ireland's Call being sung instead of our National Anthem turned my stomach. Why do they sing this? To placate a few who had they their choice would wear white as opposed to green yesterday.

I didn't watch the match and was glad they got beaten.

I know people who feel that way about Ireland's Call and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Personally, I support and celebrate any sport or organisation, which operates under the all embracing context of a united 32 county Ireland.

We all live on this island and I view it as a step forward when a Nationalist from Dingle, can sit beside a member of the Orange order from Antrim, and they both cheer in unity while supporting the Irish rugby team thumbs up

I don't agree with the Anthem not being played, we must be the only country that does this, if the nordies want to play for Ireland then let them suck it up for a few minutes while the Anthem is being played.
