    Not to be overly dramatic about it but anyone who votes “No” should be deported. It’s the only reasonable and proportionate response.

    They were lucky to win yesterday. Thankfully they had a bad game and still won. Although we had lots of injuries. Scotland at home be no pushovers but this team is now playing at a level where they expect to win. And I fully expect them to win the next two aswell

    If we beat Scotland we will win it. They have improved loads since last year and are playing like they believe in themselves for the first time in a long time.

    6 nations before world cup all teams trying out players, looking for their best 15,ireland no 1 in the world when all teams are gearing themselves up for world cup, let c if they will fail at quarter final stage again, the higher the media build them up the pressure will build the farther they fall

    @Andrew Lavelle: I’ve heard it since the first tournament in 87 but I think this time it’s different. We have never had 2 or 3 high quality players deep in each position up until now. Farrell is a proven winner with all teams he was involved with. I think all our ducks are lining up nicely for this charge at France later in the year.

    @mark o donovan: nonsense. We’ve a notoriously difficult pool and side of the draw in this upcoming RWC. If you knew anything about the RWC you’d know this. Also we’re bedding down now not wildly experimenting with just a handful of games left! And on top of all that didn’t the only NH team ever to win a World Cup win the 6N the same year they won the RWC in 2003?!?

    Must be 1 of the laziest polls I’ve ever seen here and that’s saying something. Of course Ireland can win. They could win the next 10 competive games that’s a grand slam plus the WC or lose the next game grand slam over. A more apt question might be “will they win the GS and why”
