I don't care what team NZ put out, if we play them and they are underdogs in the WC, we're getting our bums smacked again.

A lot are thinking we will get a hiding from France, in France in the World Cup that France are hosting

He can he’s an idiot

Be very very careful, friend.

Congrats to Ireland, they pulled through and got the win against England now they are true champions, no more than they deserve.

 

[How bad boy]

Performance be damned, today was about nothing but winning the grand slam. They're rare enough, whatever about world cups, I'll take an actual tournament win today.


Fuck yeah.

It's nice to win a grand slam but it won't count for a whole lot if today's opponents go further than us at the world cup.

Congrats to all the true west Brits who have followed Arland through broken bandwagon after broken bandwagon. HBB, jeepers, bandony, etc - this day is yours.

Ireland is a good team we were great against France and the Scottish and English matches were hard but we deserved the win in both cases.

Congrats Ireland

The big one is in 6 months though

Good to get the win but tbh I think Ireland let the country down with that performance. We're lucky that England didn't capitalise more on our mistakes. Not sure what to make of Farrell, I think the IRFU need to have a serious look at him going forwards, he's not the man for us IMO.

France will be delighted at today's games. They didn't win the 6N but I'd say they're a lot more confident about their prospects in the world Cup. We'll do well to get past the quarters.

Surprised that Marcus Smith made no cameo for England. I'd love to know what the story is there.

All in all a bittersweet day

I agree
