If we win, I don't see how Ireland could better our points difference.

An Irishman's heart is nothing but his imagination.

Eternal is the fact that the human creature born in Ireland and brought up in its air is Irish. I have lived for twenty years in Ireland and for seventy-two in England; but the twenty came first and in Britain I am still a foreigner and shall die one.

We were fragile and febrile.

Fred is a key player of our squad, that's why he was rested this week.

England will want to bounce back from that as they need to win to retain any chance of winning the tournament and that is not good news for us.
