O'Sullivan can't wait for England
12 February 2005, 7:53 pm
Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan insists the RBS 6 Nations showdown with England can not come soon enough for his super-confident side after their thumping 40-13 win over Scotland at Murrayfield.
OSullivan watched as Ireland came from 8-0 down to race into a 28-8 lead which never looked in danger despite a second try for the Scots briefly cutting the deficit to 15 points.

Thats two wins and now we have two wins to go and it gives us the chance to get people back, get a break and come back refreshed for the England game, OSullivan said.

That is going to be a very physical match but the boys are going back to Lansdowne Road, which has been a good hunting ground for us.

It is going to be a phenomenal atmosphere and we are looking forward to the England game.

We will recharge our batteries and come in next week ready to go - we are certainly champing at the bit.

OSullivan is also confident of having inspirational midfield pair Brian ODriscoll and Gordon DArcy available after missing the victory over Matt Williams side.

Kevin Maggs and Shane Horgan filled their crucial roles with great gusto but the return of the British and Irish Lions pair would be a great boost against the world champions.

He added: I dont see any reason why they wont be fit.

Those individuals have a lot of hard work to do in the next two weeks and they will be working harder injured than if they were fit.

OSullivan is refusing to talk up their bid for the title or their Grand Slam chances, preferring instead to use the old adage of taking every game at a time.

He concluded: I am happy with the two wins especially considering the two injuries.

That did change the dynamics of the side but I said that if we got two wins I would be happy and I am very happy.

We have learned several things from the two games. We have learned to keep our shape and composure under pressure and learned patience as well.

Those are good learning curves in the Six Nations Championship. It has not been the prettiest two weeks of rugby but I would rather be ugly and win than lose and be pretty.
