I'm looking forward to it, although i think that Ireland have the edge, my money is on them

Im just about to watch my mate play in his early KO game and then to watch England whilst supping a few jars in the club house.

OH YEAH !!!!! great England performance by the WHOLE team, but especially that Mr Wilkinson - for someone who's not played for SOO long to have that skill intact at the international level is nothing short of amazing ! But it wasn't a try

Billy Wizz is still at it as well and just how many breaks did Ellis make

But lets not carried away, it was only one match - but boy it's definetely a good start

I'd calm down a bit if I was you guys. One game against pitiful opposition does not a good team make. Apart from Scottish errors you only created one try and one that should never have been allowed to stand, and still wasted a few opportunities. Against Wales, France and Ireland, you won't be able to miss those chances and I would also be a little worried about the number of times Grewcock was in among the backs getting in the way again.

Still following England and having £100+ days out at Twickers, how about yourself.

Lucky sod. Not jealous at all. You have to laugh though, given the amount of people who turned out in London when England won the World Cup - half of them couldn't even name any members of the team, other than Wilko.

Same here, one semi-decent performance from England and everyone's suddenly interested and yet for the last couple of years getting anyone to reply to a Rugby thread was like pulling teeth unless you count the Sweaties getting a bit overexcited last year when they beat England.

I'm not sure what's lucky about spending £100+ but still tickets are a Bullseye and then there's the beer of course, when you go with rugby players that breathe lager/bitter/guiness/port, its hard not to be involved and spend a fortune. All very memorable up until the games is over, then rapidly down hill from there.

Nearly broke my bladdy ankle playing touch rugby outside twickers stadium the last time i went. Copius beer / touch rubgy / timberland boots...not the best idea i've had
