Le XV de France s'est incliné contre l'Irlande (30-21), samedi 7 février à Croke Park, lors de la première journée du Tournoi des six nations." —Erwn Le Duc, "Tournoi des six nations : le XV de France battu par l'Irlande (30-21)," Le Monde, February 7, 2009. "The first two matches of the 2009 Six Nations championship did little to reveal who will win the competition, but they might well have decided who will finish last.

"Wilkinson's last appearance for England was as a replacement in the final game of the 2008 Six Nations, against Ireland – a match that was then seen as the launching pad for Danny Cipriani's England career." —Mike Averis, "Jonny Wilkinson joins England squad fresh from Toulon: Fly-half returning to England training after 17 months away says he has escaped a 'spiral' of bad luck by moving to France," The Guardian (UK), August 10, 2009.
