England Vs Ireland - Six Nations Cup

Played at Twickenham, (England home).


England 13 - Ireland 19


Beaten for the first time since the World Cup, England lose against Ireland, man what an exciting game, right down to the wire.

Brilliant defending by Ireland,and attacking! Ronan O'Gara and Hardy playing especially good. England were denied two tries , each time the game had to be stopped and the Ref had to check with a fourth official. (guy in a room watching via cameras) It was THAT close!. Jason Robinson almost got there but was denied!

Ireland deserved to win that one, definately played better.

First time the Irish have beaten the English since 1994, and overall I think the score sheet against each other is; England 9 games won, and Ireland now 7. (could be wrong there, don't quote me on that, heh).

Love these games, always great to watch.

Don't worry, it will be okay. We'll get you away from the crazy old man.

A few friends and I tried to play Rugby the other day. No one knew any rules though, so we just played tackle basketball, with ball-kicking allowed.

Rugby is an awesome sport. Hands down more enjoyable in play and observation then its American counterpart.

Oddly, I prefer American Football to the European equivalent...
