Solid if unspectacular win for Ireland today. Tries at the end added gloss but is a boost for points difference.

I wouldn't expect too much as Ireland do not treat 7s seriously. I guess they could be contracted by the IRB to field a team in the WC?

I know it's an extremely long shot, but if anyone has two spare tickets for the England match on Saturday I would be more than happy to take them off your hands for a fair price.:D

I'm also on the lookout for a ticket for the weekend, any spares going?

Seems that way. I remember yeas ago watching Ireland in the Hong Kong 7s (when it was pretty much the only show event) and Eric Elwood kicked 3 penalties. I think they were the only penalties in the whole tournament (kicked)

do you think that'll be the case again this weekend?
My mate's brother is flying in on Friday from New Jersey for the game, and flying back on Sunday. He has a ticket, but I can't see their being the same amount of spares available

probably will be some tickets it may come down to how much you willing to pay for a ticket

I know someone who got a pair of tickets for �300 this week. No idea where.

But bear in mind face value for most of the seats is �90. Availability and price of spares will depend, as always, on the number of English travelling.

Pass it onto me otherwise Ireland will lose. I have a 100% record at rugby games in Croke Park.

Don't see anything for Ireland to fear in the England team. Martin Johnson history should help the crowd get going.

Of course, I've only been to one game, but still
