Calling England minnows is a bit harsh

swallows would be anachronistic...

I just read the title of your thread with a bit more interest and realised this is one of those "Eats Shoots and Leaves" situations. So please help me understand your title.

I'm afraid, I'm irish and I have a funny feeling Ireland are gonna get destroyed!!

I'm afraid I'm irish, and I have a funny feeling Ireland are gonna get destroyed!!

I'm afraid. I'm irish and I have a funny feeling Ireland are gonna get destroyed!!

I'm afraid I'm irish and I have a funny feeling. Ireland are gonna get destroyed!!

I'm afraid. I'm irish and I have a funny feeling. Ireland are gonna get destroyed!!

I am most worried about that 'funny feeling'

'I'm afraid I'm Irish'

Well, the 1st step IS admitting you have a problem...

Understand that the commas are confusing you - therefore I have a funny feeling that you shouldn't obsess over them.

How about...

Ireland are gonna get destroyed and I have a funny feeling. I'm afraid I'm Irish!

I'm afraid I have a funny feeling and I'm gonna get destroyed, Ireland are Irish!

Irish are funny, I'm afraid. I have a feeling. Ireland and I'm gonna get destroyed!

All good reasons for incarceration in a strait-jacket and a padded cell.

I have a funny feeling Ireland are afraid I'm Irish, and I'm gonna get detroyed!

Yes, RugbyFan182. You will get destroyed if you try hoisting a white flag again on this here site!

Dont knock it......

Am off for my daily swim in the city centre later....Streets should be filling up nicely at this stage...

I don't like it that Cork got funding as home to all 15 full sized 50 meter Olympic standard pools.  It smells of brown envelope politics.

No funding...its all free...I tell you this much it brings a new meaning to the term pub crawl....

Hope you have had your tetanus booster shots.

I have Ireland down for a 10 point loss. I am also going to the game.

I won four pizzas with Base Pizza for predicting the Scotland score to within a couple of points.

  We're doomed, doomed I tells ya!

Guns...did you really bet against Ireland...thats disgraceful...

out of curiousity....what were the odds...  

Still, I'll never be afraid to be Irish. Whenever threatening men in foreign climes sidle up to me and ominously ask if I'm British the Irish card seems to defuse the situation. If you're Irish you actually have less reason to be afraid it seems.

I am a fool. QED. I'll take that one like a man. I suppose the confusion was that Cork is now offically an ocean.

I have never seen Wales "destroy" Ireland in my life time. to be honest you have to go right back to 1977 and those years to see scores where Ireland were wiped off the park by Wales. Wales have won 3 of the last 4 against Ireland. but only 7 of the last 22 games! With Ireland dishing out some real beatings along the way.

If Wales win they normally only win by 2-4 points. In truth I don't think there is anything between Wales and Ireland, it's a 50/50 game and to be honest I expect everyone to be talking about the referees decisions afterwards because 1 penalty will be the difference between the teams. Ireland are a good team.

Wales will not batter Ireland tomorrow but I have a feeling Ireland beat wales.

Are ye lot actually Irish fans or just having a giraffe? Sheesh.

Ireland by 20.

gonna be ugly. 2-3 yellows and possibly a red card. MP definitely gets one after Connor Murray calls him a snail with a drink problem.

Ireland by 15-20.

Well...you got the words Ireland and destroyed in the OP right...

Won by 23. I feel bad now...

I am assuming Rugbyfan was practicing reverse psychology on this thread.

gibbo i always believed. enjoy your evening.

Me too buddy. I have full faith in Schmidt. This squad will only get better as he gets them all in line. Really impressed with Plumtree. Hes making our pack a real weapon and our set pieces are gelling.

Big one v England in 2 weeks time... Cant wait.

Destroyed is a more accurate way of describing it.

gonna be great. wales are yesterdays story. i have been ridiculed here for suggesting they will get max 2 wins this 6N. I predicted france would win the 6N, but i thought england would beat them, then england lose to ireland, beat wales, and it be a 3 way tie with 4 wins between england, france and ireland.

it's still all to play for in the 6N. also for wales if sam warburton is to be believed. but that defeat by ireland, and their poor display against wales, have surely shown that gatball has no plan B.

When are the matches available on iPlayer? Hopefully I can spend the evening watching both matches.

My money is still on france to win 6n and maybe an unlikely slam. Only team in their way now realistically is ireland and thats in paris. I cant call england ireland but home advantage might be the difference.

I would of thought before the game that if any team was going to destroy Ireland it would be Wales. But Ireland are now 2 from 2, so could go all the way.

Lets way and see shall we?

let's very much wait and see. The coach isn't crying GS in the bag, the players certainly won't be...and most of the wiser Irish fans (that's the majority of us, coz we is wise ) certainly won't be claiming we're on for anything. One game at a time. We have two big away ones yet. Life ain't gonna be easy.

Good jinx OP....

Ireland sure showing why they should have knocked the AB's off. Very impressive. The Kearney battles with 1/2p on the high kicks were great, 1/2p succumbing towards the end. Top pack effort and momentum sure is with this side. Looking forward to the next.

Funny.
Methinks it's only in Rugby can we adopt a mascot who predicts our doom because of his/her total failure. We are a backwards lot. no?

Can't wait for twoo weeks, should be fun.

Stoked for Ireland, there's something bubbling away by the looks.  After the heartbreak of the last ABs game and the grace of the fans on here afterwards, I think I'm going to adopt Ireland as my 6N team, even though they'll lose every game from now on in

I think I'd bet my house on us winning at least one more game...................... em, which one it is is the interesting point....maybe Italy!

Anyway... at the beginning of this I said that given where we're coming from (way down the pecking order in Europe, at one time down to ninth in the world - a depth never achieved before since the rankings began!) I think 6N 3rd would be a very good run for Schmidt and his new boys.  He'll take time to get the players he is unfamiliar with totally familiar with his patterns, so the games away against England and France in particular will be uphill climbs.
