Ireland will beat England if they play like they played against Scotland. England's game worked well against France because France are predictable. Plan A Run Plan B Run Plan C Run. It won't wok against Ireland cause they have a more dynamic game and they have a good connection between forwards and backs
Originally posted by jacko13The Ireland forwards need to win those lot (O'Connell aside) the ball first. England are ugly and very boring but their forwards aren't going to be dominated by anyone. Thankfully, they haven't got a clue what to do with the ball once it goes wider than Jonny!
you forgot O'Gara, O'Driscoll, O'Connell, D'arcy, Bowe, Murphy etc.
