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. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

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. This thread  |

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 for more info please contact: sir.clivewinner@gmail.com |

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.

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. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

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. |

Unfortunately they didn't show that ability when it really mattered - in two World Wars. Lucky for them that the brave and resilient English were there to bail them out on both occasions.

Professional performance from England. While Scotland have had better teams over the years, any Calcutta Cup clash, especially away from home, is a difficult match to win and Stuart Lancaster will have a feeling of quiet satisfaction tonight. With one trophy of a possible three already secured, England can look to February 22nd and that potential Triple Crown and Home Nations championship decider against Ireland with confidence. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

Missed it unfortunately although I hear that Wolfie missed a nine darter on the final double 12 during his win over Jan Dekker. Good to see the great man back in good form, and it contributed to a fine day for English sport. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

What do you think of the English clubs attempt at setting up a new Rugby Champions Cup seeing as they cant win the Heineken Cup, and will they try restructure the 6 Nations now that they can't win it any longer. ------------- I know nothing :-) |

The Premiership is the main competition in European club rugby. The Heineken Lager Beer Cup really isn't that important to English teams, in fact its treated as a bit of a nuisance, a distraction from the main business. We generously offered to include teams from other countries in the Rugby Champions Cup. Sadly it seems that offer has been spurned. It's their loss. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

We just need to be patient. But even if we don't score again, I can't see us relinquishing our lead - we haven't conceded in the last 120 minutes of play in this championship. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

Great resilience from the chaps after a bad start to the second half. Should close this out now. We've been the comfortably superior team all through. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

Another step on the road to another championship, and two-thirds of the way to another Triple Crown. Despite the closeness of the result (which did not reflect our almost total dominance throughout), we came out on the right side of it, and that's all that matters. A satisfactory day's work, all told. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

Good performance by the chaps this morning against New Zealand at Eden Park, but ultimately we came out on the wrong side of a 20-15 scoreline. To us, defeat is defeat, whatever the scoreline is. This differentiates us from lesser countries, who celebrate a narrow loss to New Zealand as if it is a victory. We may have lost 20-15 today, but we will win in 2015. Delightful to see the return of Danny Cipriani, by the way. He has the ability to dominate the next World Cup. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

Tremendous resilience from the chaps to end up comprehensive winners over a full strength Wales team after we suffered a disastrous start. With our only rivals for the championship now firmly dispatched, we can use the rest of the tournament to build for the World Cup. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

As the only team in the Three Nations tournament who play attacking rugby, I trust we'll have the support of all neutrals today. Hopefully our Scottish friends can also do us a favour.
