The Eng v Irl game will be a real eye opener I reckon. I'm english and can't believe how confident the media seem to be but forgetting that we got taught a lesson last time by them and they deserve their higher ranking. Irl are definitely the favourites in my book.
Will be a cracking game though as I think both teams will be up for a proper test match - none of this warm up nonsense.
Not sure you'd call the Ire v Wales game a warm up in fact I'd say that was full on test nothing less.

I am looking forward to this, managed to snag tickets to SA V Scotland and SA V USA.

Cannot wait for it to get started.

Ireland v England will be interesting alright. If it was 12 months ago I'd have been very worried about facing you. Now though I'm not so sure. Having said that not so sure what shape we are in either.

Today will be crucial for Wales and England.

Wales need to deliver a big performance and really score a lot of try's. I hope Wales can deliver a 50+ point day today a real message of intent.

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see

Let's hope our front five are more in tune than they were in France.

Not pretty, but working!

Much easier going forward.

Good 15 man performance, notable from Marler, May and the Youngs brothers

Have we forgotten that we need to compete in the second half?

Much better performance. Forwards putting us on the front foot makes all the difference.

Very average from both sides but Ireland really performing below what their world ranking hints. Nevertheless a win is a win, well done England. Roll on the rwc!
