Ireland v England

[bluemangroup]

My desire to see the welsh lose another game vastly outweighs my desire to see England win the tournament.

Im not arsed about England winning it if they cant get the triple crown. Wales losing is always fun but Ireland are getting a bit too big for their boots really.

Ireland gave the All Blacks a real scare a couple of seasons ago. Believe me, they are well and truly now not below us NZers radar.

You've lost only 2 games since the world cup. 1 vs the saffers and 1 vs the english. Couple of ties with the aussies and the irish ran you close once.

Those 4 are the only teams to match this current all blacks team even once.

Best 5 teams in the world you'd say, with the argies, the italians, and the welsh in the tier below.

The french seem to perk up for world cups. Been very poor in the last few six nations, though.

To be honest I reckon NZ could field the top 5 teams in the world on their own.

Well, yeah.

Still reckon they'll manage to choke in the world cup, mind.

Defo. It'll be someone else's fault like. Like England putting them in a hotel next to a motorway which kept them up all night or something.
