After the tough loss to NZ in the fall tour, I knew Ireland was going to be strong.

The announcer was saying that the only two teams the Ireland coach has not won against was NZ & England.




Oh you heard wrong. Ireland the team has never beat New Zealand.

As in 0-27 against the All Blacks, they do have one draw against them though back in 1973.


This Ireland team is undefeated though since losing that recent game to the All Blacks.

Wales are also 0-27 against New Zealand but have 3 draws against them.

England have 7 wins against them, Scotland have 2 and the Six Nations side with the most wins against the All Blacks is France with 12!

I think I said it wrong.
Since Schmidt has been the coach at Ireland, the only two tier one teams he hasn't won against was England & NZ.
Now's there's only one.

Just wanted to bump to say what a great weekend it was in Dublin for rugby.

Saw lots of legends out and about, and the English were in great spirits pre and post game.

That was the loudest game I have heard in Ireland. Fields of Athenry was booming quite a few times. And it was loud also when God Save the Queen started.

The Sexton-Murray combo is playing so well together. And until SOB got concussed, he was a tackling machine.

And hats off to Zebo and Henshaw. Those guys were all over the pitch. So many 50/50 catches and tackling.

Off to Wales, which unfortunately keeps playing better and better.

The trick is to keep Halfpenny from cross the 50 meter line. Cause he's pretty automatic from anywhere inside it.

Hoping for Murray-Sexton to control the game today..but Rhys is going to have Wales going.

Still hoping for the Irish slam.

Scotland will probably be crushed, as England should be pretty pissed after last game.

Italy-France...who knows about the French. If Italy can make it an ugly game, they stand a chance.

how bout that Welsh defense.

so England will have it all laid before their game. I'm gonna laugh when they see they just need to win by like 3 points then end up losing to France.

That stand they made at the 50 minute mark was a thing of beauty.


Anyway next week Italy over Wales, Scotland over Ireland, France over England, France wins the Six Nations on points!



















Yeah, I know...

So if England, Ireland and Wales are "tied" what happens if they all three win this weekend?

Comes down to points differential. I like Wales chances since they are playing Italy and having Halfpenny kicking goals.
