Classic Highlights: Ireland Stun World Champions England 

Was a high tackle in today's laws, would have been a yellow card. Bunker review for red

Agree

Let's not forget popplewell some player he was use to run on is knees Neil england👍

Croke Park?

Was that that year Martin Johnson wouldn't move his team after standing on the wrong side? Never forgave him

@@goodsirknight yes ‘03 when England won the Slam before the World Cup

@@user-tx3fi5un1n they were good.

He wasn't better than Brian but certainly was a fantastic player and they complimented each other well

What are you talking about ?

It was 20 years ago. Cop on. The music in stadiums only started in recent years

He was being sarcastic, I'd say. I have never been to a live match with that hideous music and have no desire to.@@fionnmcloughlin4349

@@fionnmcloughlin4349 read it again. This time with a sarcastic tone of voice

Yes. I LOATHE that 'music' blaring at every break in play.

More so that the sport has grown so much since then. The game now is so much more complicated and technical to play.

I actually think this Ireland team was better than the current one

Hard to compare we have old favourites but in fairness we have some good lads coming on its great can't wait for Saturday enjoy d game everyone 🇮🇪❤

We have grown a lot but are world cup record is sadly still very poor unfortunately. At this point it's quite embarrassing we haven't made past quarter finals I mean they really should

Nonsense@@Baz502

That was almost good defense, Boks don't have the skills to do that

Ya would be better with commentary

Sir Clive tried him at 13. The idea was to add more speed to the backline, but I don't think it was a great success. Sir Clive fell out with the 57 old farts and left.

At least we have a chariot.

That was D'Arcy

Gordon Darcy.

That’s a weird looking O’driscoll, might not even be him

I am guessing this comment will be deleted soon lol

That's Gordon D'Arcy how very well dare you

My favourite post....

Its a 6 nations game irl wont fall into dat trap they should but it wont be easy

Our day will come. The future looks promising. The defeat to NZ last time hurt like hell, but a very different type of pain compared to the past, when we would crash out hopelessly.

Original 🙄

@@simonmoore3546 Cheers

Yes. Also editing too choppy.

Couldn't agree more, SA NZ Aus got nothing on this 2003 side

I assume this is sarcasm!

That's a massive exaggeration. They were fortunate they didn't play the All Blacks in the final in 2003. England has never had the pedigree in terms of winning that New Zealand or South Africa have over them. Ireland seems to be the dominant team (Northern Hemisphere) over England for quite some time now and that doesn't look like it will change much in the near future.

@markgasparini6577 England had the toughest route to a world cup. Had to travel 10 hours per flight to a match and still won

@Daz442 Completely agree, no team has had a tougher route to a world cup win than England's 2003 winning side. Makes SA's 2023 route look like a cakewalk in comparison

Bit like the ice-cream I had there last week isn't it? Fucking irrelevant now

Irish Rugby acknowledged England as world champions mate

@itachitsukuyomidcuo9853 2003 rwc will always be relevant. But 2023 and all the others aren't relevant, only 2003 is

England never beat Ireland while they were world champions 😮

@@riseprojectgorey that's a downright lie or apparently not...

I think that the Irish commentator was Jim Sherwin..

relieved to know that others know and that most others don't, is sad. Ruined many a moment with his off-key remarks

Nugent was the voice of 2006. A great commentator. Go back to soccer lad. We don’t need your support.

Now D'Arcy rambles on during key moments 😂

Time to let go Daz😂

England were certainly hard done by, the most painful defeat England have suffered due to ref

Don't forget the hand of God lol

@@KMKM.S94 Ah I forgot, England sent out their B team that day

If they did they saw their team get hosed in front of a full house in front of their own fans. It would make them dumb.
