Brilliant Match Great Fans on Both Sides. The Irish Respected the English Fans and did not cause them any Grief which as it should be . There was a lot of Nth of Ireland Loyalist People Who came to Croke Park to Support the Irish Team they Interviewed them on Tele in the North,and they came to the French Irish Match in Croke Park two Weeks ago they were very Happy with Themselves. Also a Party of Dutch People with Leprechauns Hats came over to support the Irish in Croker. All the English Fans that were Interviewed were very Happy with the Support of the Irish Fans and this was before the Game Outside Croker. This was a Great Day in History for Ireland The GAA and Rugby, When Sportsmanship Triumphed over Sectarianism. At this moment I am Looking at the Wales French Match and the Welsh are holding there Own 14 for wales 13 for French it is now 8.40 GMT. 9.40CET.

The Irish HAVE got something to crow about actually. On 21 November 1920 (the first Bloody Sunday massacre) the British Army opened fire on the crowd at a match at the same venue (Croker Park, Dublin) and murdered 14 innocent civilians, including the captain of one of the teams.
This was the first time that England had been allowed to play at the stadium in 87 years - and Ireland got their revenge!

Yep - Watched it - Ireland were brilliant, and really did a job over England (And I'm English)
But the highlight for me was the Irish fans and the respect they showed England and the English fans, especially given the history of the venue
I know it's a real cliche, but Rugby really was the winner today

eire have the greater valuable forwards and set-up (we've a real coach!) yet have lost an excellent sort of key gamers to wreck. England have an spectacular back-line and an glaring domicile benefit. eire via a minimum of 7. (greater if O'Leary can get rapid ball to the backs)

It's fine for Ireland to celebrate, that's great, good luck to you. But shortly your players will have to step up to the plate, as one of the strong favourites for the World Cup. Then we'll see how good this side is? It's the best Irish side that I have ever seen, so it will be interesting.
Good luck.

The match was really exciting, some really good rugby was played. I am english, but the irish were way superior in their play - fast, cold and sharp. Lets keep rugby free of politics and enjoy a thoroughly good game
