Agreed Niall. Have utmost respect for ABs - we are holding our own but the loss of key men will sap energy later.

Ireland look poor today

Scrum on the Irish 10m.

The ABs could be missing some players for the English match

Stewart T - not as much as the referee's! I'm not singling out any particular ref. I'm surprised they don't come on with guide dogs sometimes, their eyesight is so bad.

Jaco go home

Great game, don't want to be accused of whinging but sometimes you just feel it's not gonna be your day when the TMO grounds the ball himself and you lose 3 players in 30 mins... but it's really just a mark of respect to NZ that you need Everything to go your way to have a chance

Abs will kill England

Scrum to Ireland as Best gets in on the ball and it is brought to ground as a maul.

the intensity of the attacking defensive lines are awesome
