O2 MatchDay Live: England v Ireland
You can follow the fortunes of Ireland this afternoon with our O2 MatchDay Live service. Get up-to-the-minute audio and text commentary from the England v Ireland RBS 6 Nations clash here on IrishRugby.ie.
O2 MatchDay Live will keep you up to date with all the goings on in London today as Ireland look to get back to winning ways in the 2010 RBS 6 Nations and beat England for the second year running.
When these teams met at Croke Park last year, it was a hard-fought encounter that eventually went Ireland’s way on a 14-13 scoreline.
Team captain Brian O’Driscoll led by example that day with a try and a drop goal, with out-half Ronan O’Gara supplying two penalty goals.
We will have live text commentary direct from Twickenham of Ireland’s third match of the 2010 Championship, with lock Donncha O’Callaghan returning from a knee injury and full-back Geordan Murphy and hooker Rory Best replacing the sidelined Rob Kearney (injured) and Jerry Flannery (suspended) respectively.
Out-half Jonathan Sexton is also hoping to flourish on his first RBS 6 Nations start.
Plug in the laptop or turn on the PC and enjoy a flavour of this afternoon’s game live on IrishRugby.ie with thanks to O2, sponsors of MatchDay Live.
There will be full live text and score updates throughout the coverage as Ireland look to chalk up their thirteenth Test win in 16 matches under Declan Kidney.
