Ireland v France - The 6N decider

First topic message reminder :

With such a strong points advantage if Ireland can just win in Paris then the Championship is there's. Now it's never been a happy hunting ground for Ireland - can they do it?

I think it's there year and I'm going to say yes.

Or... GWAN IRELAND

Welcome back Ferris.

France won the u20 decider 23-13 hence getting their first GS. The game was closer than what the scoreline and it was 13-13 with 10 minutes to go with ireland missing a penalty.

Welcome back Ferris.

Boom! Looked in fantastic shape, bigger and stronger than I've ever seen him. Hopefully he can get an injury free run now until the end of the season but that comeback couldn't have went much better.

A few hours to go now ....Come on Ireland!

France did, though, what I think they do a lot.  Wait for a final surge.  I hope if it's a close game in Paris, with Ireland holding a slight lead, and France looking out on their feet,that the Irish players are alive to an out-of-the-blue flourish by the French at a time when there could be no come back from Ireland.  80 minutes of absolute and total concentration.

A droppable droppable.

Squeaky bum time minus 7 hrs 45...

You just worry about the Roman Legions, Portnoy.

If I knew any cricket allusions more complex than the usual 'cricket score' one I'd try to do something smart with them.  But I don't so........... well, I do expect Italy to implode at some point in the game and then it's chase, chase, chase by the frisky English.

I do think they'll give us a target to reach for too.  Just more tension still added to that final game.

It'll be quadruple entertainment in Rome today for me today, Fly.

England with nothing to lose.
Keeping up with the pts/min ratio.
Thinking of BOD's crash landing.
All spiced with the prospect of Mooro blowing a gasket.

Great appetiser.

Good luck to Ireland  









But not too much mind!





I'm hoping for a great day in front of the telly.

Yeah, enjoy the games, Port



But not too much mind!

I'm off to get some chores done before the cricket game that's on first.  I hope I'm delirious when this day comes to an end, but I'm realistic enough to know that might not be so.  If you get it instead, enjoy the celebrations.

Good luck all sides. Let's hope for no injuries all round and full on contests (except England v Italy where England win by 70

The belly is gurgling lads. Majorly. To the tune of Five featuring Queen. I don't know what that means. I maybe dreamt it. It's been known.

I once had a wonderful dream where I was a military sniper and took out the members of S Club Juniors with one bullet. Sweet bliss. My life goes unfulfilled.

Well I still hope Ireland win, even though it means we don't get the championship. At least there is the warm up game to settle down for before the big one

If you irish win fair play...

Not going to support France just for the hell of it..

England winning this or not is immaterial to me. We are on a serious upward curve and have just played the most expansive set of 5 games in a 6 nations for decades..

So lets hope for a classic anyway.

Just back from a spot of golf. I was rubbish. I blame the France v Ireland nerves although I am always rubbish.
Hope it is a classic, mystir, but truth be told I don't really care at the moment. So long as Ireland win. I think we will   

maybe

maybe not

maybe

maybe not

I don't know   

Just watch the Wales game now to help ready myself for the big game. Hogg has just been red carded.

I just came back from a week long golf trip- I was possibly worse than you were with no nerves!!

lets just get this straight, ireland need to beat france which theyhave only done once in 42 years in 2000 when His Holiness the BOD scored a hat trick....today he goes to paris to contest the championship in his last game for ireland......i have never heard a better story in rugby i don't think, drooling like a geriatric for this one

Haha! Love the use of the BOD cartoon!

I'm not sure it's possible to be as bad as me today   

Hope you had a great time away regardless, mystir   

The time draws nigh......

C'MON IRELAND!!!   

Jaysus I am nervous...

COME ON IRELAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry lads. Believe in green!

Anyways, you guys can't feel as nervous as BOD's opponent!   

Come on France!

on a serious note, i really want France to win but i can't complain if Ireland do, nice fitting end for BOD

Believe.

Afternoon Gibbo! Something for the nerves...?   

ugh, the Keith Wood BOD love in...................yuk

If anyone can find it...get the "Here comes BOD" cartoon from the BBC, it's brilliant (if you're over a certain age and remember the Bod cartoon...)

Send one this way Cari... Please

   There you go.

Awww that was quite a nice interview with Woody.

Thanking you kindly

COME ON YOU BOYS IN GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!   

Jeez, POM's singing his heart out more than Alynwyn Jones does!

Barnes has to have an impact even before the whistle, and Wlash on the whistle should be inetresting

dull from ireland

Discipline lads. Discipline.

Evenin Cari.

What was D'Arcy doing there, cant miss those...

Relax. Keep the powder dry lads.

Well he looks like he's eaten one burger too many, but you try stopping Bastareau...

come on ireland...championship at stake and you wont win playing like that. Luckily Basteraud cant pass

Yup that'll do.

Don't go high on him for a start.

Better from Drico there.

Indeed Nachos...

Walsh making some "interesting" decisions...  

France came to play today as opposed to sulking

Walsh will penalise Ireland off the park here.

Come on lads big scrum here.

France won't like that. If Ireland can take it to them in the scrum they won't be happy campers.

Cari, that's what I thought as well.

Don't know who to support, normally I will support a "home nation" against any other, but in this case is it difficult.

The big B is looking a real handful BOD has got his work cut out today. Butchered that pass for a run in.

French do look up for it though.

Walsh is just being Walsh, I did one of them this morning in the bathroom.
