Mostly keyrings and food, but also got a couple of free umbrellas and silk ties  I have to admit I concentrated on the food and booze for most of the day though. Gotta have priorities! |

Where to start ... Uhm, I'm pretty happy with the win, but we could have made it easier for ourselves if we'd played to our potential, both on Saturday and in the other 4 games. Hopefully this will give the lads some confidence and they'll start to perform and achieve bigger and better things. I'm still not totally convinced by Eddie O'Sullivan, but I guess we'll be seeing him around 'til after the WC at least. Had to roffle when Jerry Flannery was picked up on the refs mic saying to Thompson "That's fucking twice you fat fucking cunt". That was one of the highlights  We were quite lucky on Saturday, but I'm not going to complain, too often I've seen Ireland beaten (not just in rugby) by jammy gits on other teams and a bit of luck so I don't thing anyone can begrudge us this. I want Shane Horgan's babies. Hoping to go to the World Cup next year in France, if I can afford it anyway. |

I hate Matt Dawson, he's a sneaky little bollocks (Grr!)
My heart was absolutely thumping when it went to video ref. My boyfriend nearly got the head thumped off him coz he was making smart comments, I wasn't in the humour.

YOU MAKE YOU OWN LUCK IN THIS GAME, THATS WHAT I RECKON, AND ITS DEFO GONE AGAINST US ENOUGH TIMES
IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THE SELF BELIEF THROUGH THE WHOLE SQUAD EVEN WHEN THINGS WENT WRONG, THATS WHAT DRAGGED THEM THROUGH.
i HAVE TO ADMIT A NEW RESPECT FOR EDDIE AFTER IT ALL HES TAKEN AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF FLACK THROUGH THE SEASONBUT HAS NEVER BOWED TO THE PRESSURE AND STUCK TO HIS GUNS,
AND RESULTS TELL THE TALE NOW,
BUT AFTER A GENERALLY POOR QUALITY SEASON FROM ALL SIX NATIONS TEAMS THE REAL BENCH MARK WILL BE VERSUS THE OZZIES AND KIWIS IN THE SUMMER
I CANT WAIT

You make a good point about the fact that luck has gone against us a lot in the past, but as far as t he results telling the tale? It's not a very good tale now is it? We failed to score tries when it mattered, this cost us the championship, we've been slow to start in all but one game and we're giving away too many penalties. O'Sullivan is still playing predictable rugby and most of the flack he received was deserved and unless we have a full strength squad for the tour down under and we start playing with conviction and to the potential of the team we wont fare much better than we did in the autumn.
Is there any chance you'd leave the capslock off when you post? Its quite difficult to read.

YOUR COMPLETLEY MISSING THE POINT FAILING TO SCORE TRIES ISNT RESULTS
TWO TRIPLE CROWNS IN 3 YEARS AND 3 IN A ROW AGAINST THE ENGLISH IS RESULTS, IM STILL NOT HIS BIGGEST FAN BUT HES BY A LONG WAY IRELANDS MOST SUCCESSFUL COACH
CAPSLOCK IS JAMMED AND SOMETIMES THE TRUTH IS HARD TO READ

Oh for god's sake, we won yes, I'm glad of that, but we've only finished second because of our failure to score tries! Scoring tries is important! How in god's name can you sit htere and say thery're not?
Eddie O'Sullivan was lucky in that when he and the players mutinied against Warren Gatland he inherited a team that was going places. There were players like Gordon D'Arcy and Shane Horgan etc. coming up through the ranks and any coach was bound to have success with them.
We've finished second twice in three years, that's not particularly an achievment when we all know we could easily have won 3 6 Nations championships in a row had we only got the finger out and played to our full potential. O'Sullivan's tactics have been shown up badly, particularly this year and in the Autumn tests. We should have and could have beaten Australia, I was there it was awful to watch, so predictable and so disappointing.
While its always pleasant to beat England, particularly at Twickenham, look at the current state of the England set up. They're a mess, they're tired, they're playing in the Guinness Premiership and the Powergen cup as well as the 6 Nations, there's infighting between clubs and between clubs and the RFU. They're lacking talent, they're lacking drive and they're lacking ambition. Ireland really made it hard for themselves against England and they didn't have to. Had we beaten England when they were at full strength then I'd be a lot more convinced.
Consider getting your capslock key fixed, the overuse of capital letters appears to be feeding into your deluded mindset.
