It would appear Brendan Cole quite likes saying that (as do a lot of us!!), as he questions the single question on every Irishman's lips this week:
Can England beat France?
We know France are the better side, but on the back of a beating can England re-jig enough to take it, can they provide t
A young man's game?
Nope, England fielded a starting XV against Italy this weejend whose combined age was 34 (just less than an average of 29 years per man).
The '99 World Cup final was won by a Wallabies team with 618 caps! This was later beaten by England who beat the All Blacks with a team
Stephanie posts that it's nerve wracking for the fans as well as the players!
I've just spent the last couple of hours in an Irish pub, in Swindon, as the only bloke in an Ireland shirt!!! Admittedly a few others were shouting for them and two girls were in Irish shirts. The same could be said fo

Rugby fan Georgie Casey has gone to the trouble of getting himself a complete server, just so he can run rtorrent to download Rugby (his ISP ban him from doing so!). Now that's dedication!
And the videos are pretty damned good as well!
Personally we love this one of Donncha O'Callaghan removin
Dave's World of Sport pretty much sums up the feeling of most of the home nations, he'd love Wales to win (like any Wales fan!) but agrees with most of the rugby world that Ireland are probably favourites for the Six Nations in their stepping stone to the World Cup.
