He should've been gone after that bloody game against Argentina in the '99 World Cup!

Prediction; If we can stay within 5-7 points of Wales at half-time, we will win.

Watching it in the Foggy Dew, looking forward to a great day.

If O'Gara has his kicking boots on and we are aggressive from the start (like the first 20 minutes of the second half performance against Scotland) then I'm confident we will win. Keeping the penalty count down is another thing that I hoped is drilled into their heads before they leave the dressing room tomorrow. Silly penalties for not binding properly in the scrum is frustrating for fans and players alike. A brilliant day for Irish sport if the lads can pull this one off. COME ON IRELAND!

Dodge, thats fckin terrible. Im a rugby fan for years and this is a chance for our country to finally overachieve and deliver the big one.

Going to try out the Woolshed on Parnell St for the game tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be full of Aussies and Kiwis.

I'll take the draw or a loss by less than 13 points...

Do you go into Irish pubs hoping no Irish people there?

**SkStu** · 21/03/2009, 2:56 PM

SkuStu .. the link you posted last week is working again today. They are showing the England vs Scotland right now. Hopefully it will continue on to the Ireland / Wales game. The audio is a challenge - my leaving cert french is being strained to the max - but the video is excellent again.

The last hour or two have been frustrating trying to get a decent soccer feed so I think I'll just stick with this.

No score predictions from me (don't want to jinx myself) - if Ireland can keep their composure and don't loose their heads I think that we'll win. Declan Kidney is a great coach - fingers crossed it will be Ireland's day.

This one may work also. They are showing England/Scotland, but the Irish game should be on after. Password is Rugby. Password is case sensitive.
