Come on, Ireland !!! (by Jayne)
32 Answers
Jayne's rugby analysis of the day.
As I understand it ...
O'Gara (outside half) is the key.
But Wales are playing 3 fast Back Row Forwards.
Stringer (scrum half) passes the ball to O'Gara ... and the Welsh Back Row flatten O'Gara.
So, instead, Ireland are playing O'Leary at scrum half. Why?
Because O'Leary is capable of picking up the ball and running at the Welsh Back Row.
The Welsh Back Row's uncertainty as to whether O'Leary will pass, or run with the ball, will make them a split second slower ...
... which will buy O'Gara enough time to decide how to play the ball.
And so Ireland will be tactically superior in the open play.
Was that good? Am I clever?
So, the betting ...
The betting shops have Ireland as 5/4 on. I'm prepared to place a big bet bet, because we all know that Ireland are going to win.
The last time Ireland won the Grand Slam in 1948, it wasn't even called the "Grand Slam" ... it was just called a "Clean Sweep". You see ... clever again.
I don't think I've ever been so excited about a game that didn't involve England.

Ireland are so lovely and jolly. And quite a few times recently, they have looked like favourites to do well (like in the last but one World Cup), but it hasn't come together on the day.
Well, today, I hope it will.
And despite being a satanic spawn descendent of the Norman invaders, against whom our ancestors here in the South East capitulated pathetically ... I still support any home Nation against the Johnny Foreigners ... LOL

Aww, poop. I should stick to Blackjack.
It's no wonder I can never work out why I get back the amounts I do (which is not very often ... LOL).
Well, I'll stick some �s on Ireland, and see what happens.
What about a winning margin bet?
I'm going to go for a run now, cos it's a lovely morning. Catch you later. And ...
