First topic message reminder :

I know I am two weeks early but Ireland v England on Sunday 1st March will possibly be the 6 nations decider as both teams are the only two teams still undefeated in the 6 nations so far this year.

There are many different angles, plots and sub plots to this game. Here are some of the many things at stake:

Reaburn Shield:

Ireland have held it for 4 consecutive games having defeated previous holders SA in November.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raeburn_Shield

3rd place in rankings:

Ireland v England - Match Thread - Page 19 Rating10

Triple Crown:

Only Ireland and England can still win this trophy and with due respect to Scotland and Wales who Ireland have yet to play to win it would be some achievement this year.

Grand Slam:

Only Ireland and England and win the slam.

6 nations title:
Obviously France and Wales are still in the running with only one loss but the bookies have Ireland and England as favorites at this point.

Millennium Trophy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Trophy

Eye on the WC:
The earliest Ireland and England could possibly meet at the WC is the Semi finals if they both win their pools and their quarter finals or both come runner up and win their quarters. Either way I think other fixtures such England v Wales and Ireland v France were more important for each nations WC preparations.

Ireland need one more win to tie their record of 10 sucessive wins.

Head to head record:
Overall: England 74 wins Ireland 46 wins
6Nations: England 7 wins Ireland 8 wins

Who is going to win and why?
http://www.espn.co.uk/six-nations-2015/rugby/story/256583.html
Phil Vickery predicts an England win.

Teams:

England:

Ireland:

Well at least this might dispel the myth that we are one of the favourites for the WC.... The only WC after this performance is the toilet.

That's one of the least obvious not supporting his own weights, yet that is the one Joubert penalises...

Cole didn't lead with his head. He dropped the shoulder and Healey tried to wrap him up. If your stupid enough to attempt a tackle that high you might expect a blow to the face. It's why you teach kids to go low and with the shoulder.

That is pathetic. Utterly pathetic. Dithering from Wigglesworth followed by an aimless kick.

Good to see us fighting back. Sometimes you just have to accept you've been outplayed and fight back by inches. It's probably not going to be enough to win this game, but I'm glad to see the fight.

Haha. We have been braindead haven't we. We've been completely second best, but I do think some of the ref decisions could have gone our way and got us a lot closer on the scoreboard.

Joubert is not an international standard ref.

England seem to have several players that are not international quality players.

Ireland have a very good strategy and a well versed team. Don't look the same team without Sexton. Also thought Murray should have been man of the match not Henshaw.
