We thought we couldn't possibly be more up for this weekends 6 Nations encounter between Ireland and England in the Aviva Stadium, but we were wrong, because a quick bash on the greatest game of all time has us so pumped that we don't know what to do with ourselves.
Jonah Lomu Rugby on Playstation was the stage as Ireland took on England, and while the teams may have been those seen in 1997, we're hoping that this will be a good omen for Joe Schmidt's side tomorrow.
Those of you that know Jonah Lomu Rugby, or Rugby in the late '90s, will know how bloody tough a task it is to defeat that English side with Ireland, but could we manage it?
Find out by watching the video, and bask in the glory that is Bill McClaren's commentary.
Believe!
Simon Geoghegan you absolute hero! That has to go down as the greatest try in Irish (virtual) rugby history! Watch again as he leaps to collect a shocking Eric Elwood pass, before barrelling through several English defenders and weaving his way over the line for the win.
Now, if we are to take the talking points from the above game and apply them to this weekends fixture (because why the feck not?), here is what we can expect to see:
- A low scoring affair.
- English dominance in the line-out.
- A supreme Irish counter-rucking effort.
- One moment of absolute magic to win it.
- No penalties or scrums.
It came right down to the wire, and England were knocking on the door, but we stood strong and claimed a massive win. Now lets hope the 2015 Irish rugby team can follow suit.
