Good win (Fred) today for the boys in the RBS Six Nations opener. The Calcutta Cup is back where it belongs - the Twickenham trophy room. 

This nicely sets up a massive clash at Lord Lansdowne Park next week. While the Irish are to be respected  (we're far too smart and gentlemanly not to respect an opponent), their innate fecklessness will out and we will win. 

Chris Ashton's class, Manu Tuilagi's flair, Owen Farrell's tactical acumen and Chris Robshaw's leadership will prove too much. These guys are all British Loins test material. 

Stuart Lancaster's coaching has been a revelation. It was little over a year ago that people said English rugby was dead. Now these people are eating their words. I hope your association footballers don't plough up the pitch too much for our twinkle-toed runners on Wednesday. Come Sunday, you'll know you were second best. 

We will win, and win well.

One of the oddest looking trophies out there, it has to be said. Not quite as ridiculous as the Cricket Ashes, or the minature egg chasing trophy for the 10 nation world cup, but right up there with them all the same.

That trophy looks like a urn.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Ireland and England play for the Millenium Trophy. I think it was us that made it up that time, for the 1988 Millenium (the original and best Millenium, f**k that Y2K sh*t)

Australia and New Zealand play for the Bledisloe Cup.

I really enjoy coming over to Ireland.  I gotta say its one of my favourite parts of the UK. So much beautiful scenery and I usually stay with my pal Donal Lenihan #real nice guy.   We normally go to the Waterloo bar for a few pre game pints then after the game we have a dinner party back in Donal's.  #good laugh.

Anyways boys lets have a good game or rugby today and may the best team win.
#England legends number 1.






P.S. Guys I just thought I would let you know that I work these days doing after dinner speeches on how to be a world class performer in business and in sport.  I ran a very successful company before taking the England job and we strove to be a world leader in our field. #winner on and off the field

The Calcutta Cup is the oldest trophy in rugby football. People would be well advised to show it some respect. 

This game is going to plan for us, with only the appalling conditions keeping the Irish in it so far.

12-6 didn't reflect our dominance at all there. The Grand Slam should now be a formality.

Very disappointed for the boys after this evening's "Le Crunch". We got off to a bad start but that trademark English resilience kicked in.

Nevertheless, despite the performance, it counts for absolutely nothing. We don't do moral victories, unlike some other "nations". 

But there's a championship still there to be won.

Yeah, Italy and Scotland get them moral victories a lot. Form is temporary, class is permanent. The French always have that ability to hit you when you least expect it.
