They’ve doubled down on that online.
Can’t find the tournament rules - could be a head to head element or something?
No it is points difference, then tries scored. They were wrong and are just burying their heads in the sand.
England +59 v Ireland +41 PD, Ireland 18 tries v England 17.
Ireland Scotland 7pm next Friday and France England at 8pm. Should be a cricket score in Cork, England will need all 5 points in France.
Interesting, I had kind of taken the comms team at their word, but reading some of the stuff on here I have learnt my lesson, and even the table can’t be trusted
That sets it up nicely then, and given the choice I’d take our place next week.. there has been a bit of chopping and changing in the French side and as far as I understand quite a few younger boys brought in, but they were very dominant against Wales so hopefully can at least keep it tight against Eng…
Friday night’s match is live on Virgin Media Two and the BBC iPlayer (7pm Kick Off)
Ireland will be expected to get max match points and a healthy points difference v a poor Scotland side. England who kick off in France at 8pm UK Time will probably need to get max match points to win the title given Ireland are only 17 points behind on points difference.

Ireland very poor- disjointed against a robust pack but very limited Scottish team playing a very effective blitz defence. Overconfidence like their senior peers last week?
- all Ulster representation are forwards. Truly unusual
