I've never seen that asked of a TMO before

by Guest Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:25 pm

Healy is being a real showboater this game. Cole has him in his pocket.

by Gibson Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:26 pm

Kearney taken in the air.

Penalty Ireland

by Gibson Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:27 pm

TOL. FFS!

by Portnoy Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:28 pm

Bit more fizz since Ben came on.

by Gibson Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:28 pm

This is hard to watch.

by eirebilly Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:28 pm

FEIAC

England should knock on as soon as they get into the Irish 25! It does not help when Ireland knock on.

Lions front row in the making!! I've said it all along. And btw thanks to the scarlets for giving us morgan!

by trebellbobaggins Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:31 pm

Been an interesting half for sure. Long way to go though.

Excuse me the Lions front row is the Welsh one! boxing

by mystiroakey Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:31 pm

Really? I think his passing has been poor. Wayward and slow.

Everything that's been good has come from the forwards.

by trebellbobaggins Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:32 pm

The lions will need two. Front rows. Is it not good that we have that?

For now...but these two kiddywinks will be biting at their heels!

anyone know who the most accurate kickers are in this 6 nations? i can only think of one shot at goal that farrell has missed?

by mystiroakey Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:33 pm

nice play by ireland!

by trebellbobaggins Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:33 pm

Brilliant from earls it must be said.

Neither have had many running chances in such slippery conditions.

by nathan Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:34 pm

unlucky bounce for ireland. hopefully it will give england a kick up the arse!

Hiya Gibbo.

This game has been a long time coming for an Englishman in an Anglo-Hibernic encounter.

Can we have some more scrums please?

by glamorganalun Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:34 pm

Tommy could have scored there, daft kick given the ball away.

by Gibson Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:35 pm

Cant see England losing this now. They deserve it. In all fairness.

by mystiroakey Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:36 pm

lol at these scrums!!!!!

by nathan Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:36 pm

is he not going to card anyone for the scrums?

by trebellbobaggins Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:37 pm

Ireland scrum has been poor it has to be said, when didthey get so bad?

by GunsGerms Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:37 pm

Can't someone please explain why Reddan was taken off. Kidney must be sacked after this campaign. Were better than this.

by ultra Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:38 pm

Hoi Port mate. This English team is growing in strength and belief. I admire Lancaster. Top geezer. Lets hope its near the end for Kidney. That's the only good I can see coming from this. Ale

by glamorganalun Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:39 pm

Ireland are looking like Scotland, dropping balls and knocking on, poor skills from the back row, Morgan still going well.

by mystiroakey Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:39 pm

oh sweet - scum .

unbelivable stuff this- i am well shocked. england have improved each game 100%

by trebellbobaggins Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:39 pm

Scrum, again.

by Gibson Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:39 pm

Never seen us play this badly. It's God awful.

by GunsGerms Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:40 pm

At least people might believe in earls at 13 now finally. Class player.

by eirebilly Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:40 pm

Yellow Tuilagi???

by nathan Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:40 pm

what the hell is moore going on about? Manu pulled out of the tackle?

by nathan Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:41 pm

COME ON YOUNGS!!!!

i think its time people started giving england some credit- thats what we hear every game, its hard to play when a team is in your face like this england one. the dominance shown in the physicality is making you make mistakes.

Sack kidney!!!!

by trebellbobaggins Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:42 pm

I've had good fun this week wit our Irish friends here but I've been very pleased with the way the team have been thrown together from nothing and shown we are finally using our kids,

Brilliant try, a total reversal of last years stuffing at the mo. long way to go though.

by **Biltong** Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:42 pm

England is simply murdering Ireland in the scrums.

by GunsGerms Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:42 pm

I agree.

by nathan Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:42 pm

certainly didnt see England's scrum being so much better than Irelands.

by eirebilly Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:43 pm

Well played England

I hope that they now see the benefit of SL as coach

by Shifty Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:43 pm

Has anyone told England trying to get the 38 point margin is pointless? Shocked

by trebellbobaggins Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:43 pm

Take he Irish back ow out of this game totally.

by glamorganalun Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:43 pm

Well done England, just like the old days forwards miles on top. Ireland pack looks a joke in this game, Wales were way on top of this England scrum!

by Portnoy Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:44 pm

I have to applaud the Irish for not feigning front row injuries to prevent this embarrassment.
