Ireland will win.
Half-Jap Eddie is a detestable corner boy who believes himself to be endlessly smart. The bladdy Bogtrotters almost certainly have the best coach in rugby, pity I hate his guts too. I suspect the Paddybastards will choke on the day and Half-Jap's Twickinghouse record will remain "undefeated".
Thing is, I don't give a toss one way or the other.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
Eddie Jones: England boss sorry for offensive comments about Wales and Ireland
England head coach Eddie Jones has "apologised unreservedly" for offensive comments he made about Wales and Ireland.
At a sponsors' talk in July 2017, the Australian described Wales as a "brad pitt little place" and spoke about how disappointed he was by a recent defeat by the "scummy Irish".
Jones, 58, said he was "very sorry for any offence caused" and added: "No excuses. I shouldn't have said what I did."
A spokesperson for English rugby union's governing body said the remarks were "inappropriate" and the RFU would apologise to its counterparts in Ireland and Wales.
England's next match is against Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday.
Referring to their 13-9 defeat by the same opponents in the 2017 Six Nations, Jones said: "We've played 23 Tests, we've only lost one Test to the scummy Irish.
"I am still dirty about that game. We'll get that back, we'll get that back don't worry. We've got them next year at home, we'll get them back."
The video of Jones' talk was uploaded to YouTube by Fuso - the Japanese parent company of England sponsors Mitsubishi - in July last year but has only now gained wider public attention.
Earlier in the talk, Jones discussed Japan Under-20s losing to their Welsh counterparts 125-0 shortly after he took over as Brave Blossoms head coach in 2012.
"Who knows Wales? Are there any Welsh people here? So it's this little brad pitt place that has got three million people. Three million!" he said.
Ireland won this year's Six Nations with a game to spare and will complete a Grand Slam if they beat England on Saturday, which is St Patrick's Day.
England, winners of the two previous tournaments, could finish as low as fifth with defeat.

Frankly I'm shocked, on behalf of you scummy bogtrotters I've decided to take offence.
Not a patch on that nice Mr Lancaster.

3 changes, most significantly their captain Guirado is out. The "Edinburgh 8" still frozen out. Jacques Brunel saying that they will be available for selection for the June tour of NZ.
Wales: Halfpenny; North, S Williams, Parkes, L Williams; Biggar, G Davies; R Evans, Owens, Francis, Hill, A W Jones (capt), Tipuric, Faletau, Navidi.
Dee, Smith, Lee, B Davies, Shingler, A Davies, Anscombe, S Evans.
England have a more solid look now. Better pack, even with Hartley still there. Far better backline with their best, by a considerable distance, 10 now playing at 10.
So Ireland will require a top performance to grab that grand slam. However we can do it. Gwan Ireland.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

I was watching Sky Sports News earlier, during a live Q&A with EJ and DH.
A journo asked the question about this being ethical, given how VdW had attended the England camp to give advice.
EJ appeared quite smug about this, saying that it was an IRB issue.
The IRB must have stepped in quite quickly to make this change.
We will just have to put up with NO getting his mug on the screen as often as he can
