ed, i'm referring to the hyped up possibility of trouble by some of the irish press. namely a few die hard republicans/celtic supporters protesting at a "foreign game" played at the gaas' hallowed ground.NOT MY VIEWS

As an Englishman I would like to congratulate the Irish, they totaly deserved their victory. They made England look very poor indeed. The fans and the atmosphere where excellent and for that all the Irish fans should be applauded. On the same day I was left laughing at the Scots, I was so happy to see Italy win. Forza Italia!

Well done to Ireland ,they were deserved winners.
England have been going thru a lean time of late but they are coming back now ,all be it very slowly.
As for forgivin and forgetting the "Croke pk incident in 1920" .What do you mean ?
It has nothing to do with the English rugby team ,or even the English (it was the British) .Anyway ir was 87 years ago how many people alive today were around in 1920 let alone involved in what happened .About time a few ppl joined the 21st century

It was great, If they can keep scoring like that we should have a good chance at the Rugby World Cup. The GAA should put a Memorial Sculpture together with a large Plaque Commemorating Michael Hogan The Tipperary Man and the Spectators who were killed on that day also mentioning the amount of People Wounded and crushed in the Stampede, so all who pass the spot will remember that day in 1920.All the Fans were great Irish and English.

It was a good game.
No bad performances, except maybe Andy Farrell.
The Irish deserved the victory, but the score was slightly flattering.
Here's hoping we give Ireland something to cheer by beating France. Of course I personally wouldn't mind if Ireland lost (unlikely) as it would put us back into contention.

Congratulations to the Irish - and I mean the fans as well as the players. Applauding our national anthem was a nice touch.
Trouble is, I suppose we'll all have to eat shamrock for a few weeks now.

Forgive? Forget? Oh no, we are just bigger and know how to "let it go" we have not forgiven the english, for what they did.
We just showed them that We (and France) Rock at Rugby...
Brilliant Match, O'Driscoll, O'Connell and O'Gara are Heros!
43-13
World cup next!!
