Fucking hell, tough break England, but an incredible run nonetheless. Ireland officially the party poopers of world rugby.

Ireland love ruining everyone's party! Wonder what that horrible little hobbit of a coach England have has to say about the result now, after being arrogant and dismissive all week
To be fair he has been quite quiet this week apart from the Red Riding Hood comments at Shag.
The players have set themselves up for big disappointment though as they brought into the vibe of not achieving anything if they didn't win today.

I enjoyed that, and was happy to call on the Irish ancestry for a day. I thought that the English players had stagefright in the 1st half but they worked their way back into the match in the 2nd half with a more direct approach and some impact from the bench.
After watching the Wales-Ireland game last week I wasn't too impressed with Marmion but I thought he controlled things very well. Excellent defence from the Irish inside backs really stiffled England's attack. A well deserved win.

As ever, after a win like that, Ireland get to sit in the dressing room thinking on what might have been, whilst they listen to England celebrating the Championship next door.
Here's hoping the June tour unearths a few more nuggets for the squad depth.

I don't think Ireland will be sitting down, and I think the noise they'll make will drown out what will be a downcast England team. 6N is a consolation prize compared to getting into the record books. Winning a tournament on a loss is a bit 'meh'

And comparing shag to the big bad wolf was pretty witty I thought ,
I personally think Eddie takes the piss more than he is given credit for

You would hope that is the way they feel. That sort of mindset is key on the path to greater glory

They won the tournament last week after a thumping victory over Scotland.

No mention of the Scots dominant 29-0 effort over the Eye ties?
Shame on you all
Ok, here's mine
That's not funny Jegga. The mighty Scots are in a renaissance! Get on the bandwagon while you can!!!

You lot celebrating Ireland beating England reeks of the Aussies celebrating Ireland beating us. It's a little distasteful.

English mate just texted me, he said stuff comments isn't showing a lot of love for the motherland.

I tuned into France v Wales with 5 minutes left. It was a bit surreal as another twenty-five minutes and what felt like about twenty scrums unfolded after that.
In the end it was the home advantage championship. Barring games involving Italy, I think only England managed to win an away match.
