RBS 6 Nations Ireland vs England — Croke Park

[No, it's not that old wheeze, don't worry! ]

I just heard that Ireland will be without O'Driscoll and Horgan for England's visit next week. Two key players that any team would be hard pressed to replace. That said, England will be without the armoured cars and machine guns they had for their last visit to Croke Park.

I got that last week from my Dad, old news Doc!

Surely that was the UK or at least Great Britain?

I heard Republican Sinn Fein are going down there to picket the game. As a wise man once said "I predit a riot!"

The original! (From Times online) -

Scotland weren't much better than a Guinness Premiership or Magners
League team, but you can only beat what is put in front of you, and
Saturday represents a very good start. Ireland may well be missing Brian
O'Driscoll as well as Shane Horgan and don't have the resources in depth
to overcome such losses. However neither will England have the armoured
cars and machine guns they had the last time they entered Croke Park!
