Was great to be there...... Great game, and a great occasion. It's be a while since I've been to HQ and it was great to hear the roar of 82k people. I was in the cusak stand very high up under the rafters, so I didn't get wet

. I also got a great tactical view and it was interesting to see how flat and one dimensional the England backs were in open play. The did look very dangerous off the set piece though, so it was good to see that we interrupted a good bit of line-out ball. I though I was dreaming when I seen the england scrum going backwards.

The best part of the day was the gallon of free pints.

was a great result, lets just hope that the triple crown gets landed at murrayfield! although as scotchman says.....i dont think it will be a walkover, scotland badly need a win too to restore self pride after a poor performance at the weekend...... i know how badly it was taken over there..... i watched it in a bar in glasgow !

I was at work ( city airport) with loads of people watching in the bar.

there is nothing like it see all sides jump and cheer on the fighting irish. like the song says shoulder to shoulder.

Also fun to see the english buisness men act as if result meant nothing bo hoo.

but scotland will put up a fight be alot harder this time.

Was in Berlin on that week end but I have to say, the Old Emerald Isle, which is the pub I watched the match in, was packed and I didn't get wet and I had the pleasure of having England supporters going round after the game and shaking the hands of those in Ireland jerseys. Great experience, too!

What a day for Irish sport!
