Would be great to bounce back from France with a win in Twickenham.

Get the Guinness in.

Its a hell of an achievement for Hayes to reach 100 caps, especially considering the punishment he takes in that position. Fair play and congratulations to him!

I fancy Ireland to win fairly comfortably.

Cant believe Hayes is getting his 100th cap and he did not get his first until he was 26. A Legend in Irish Rugby. Come on Ireland.

This is a huge game for both countries, one that neither can afford to lose at this stage. My gut feeling is that Ireland will win by 5 points, we just need them to be a lot less conservative in their play and start to run the ball like we know they can. Also I hope to god the Kidney has spoken to O'Leary about getting some quick ball from the ruck otherwise England will snaffle anything coming there way.

This is the worst English team I have ever seen by some distance and yet they could still do us.If they were to get an early try,big Twickers crowd behind them,they could leave us on our *****.I hope not.We have started poorly this year,aside from the french game we looked very limited against a very limited Italian team.Your dead rite whoever said about gettin quick ball from the ruck,the English no matter how poor are deadly at turnovers.Come on the jolly old rugger chaps in Green.

Officials seem determined to penalise Ireland for anything. That was a shocking decision to penalise Tommy Bowe for contact before the ball arrived.

wouldnt you think they would have a linesman and a referee that are able to talk one language.Poor brian driscoll o connell nearly took his head off.

Come on Ireland. We didnt play well but what guts and determination.
