Given the conditions it is not looking to bad a game. Woofhounds deserve their lead.
Just hope the second half will be better for England Saxons.

Re: England Saxons v Irish Wolfhounds - Kingsholm
People seem surprised that it is such a bad game... Its like this every year! Pointless game imo. I would much rather put the funds towards a sevens team.

I apologise to Henshaw it was Felix Jones with that brutal pass leading to the try
Re: England Saxons v Irish Wolfhounds - Kingsholm
Is Darren Cave playing? I hope Joe recognises him

Jones isn't up to this level. Irish will get the ball moving a bit more in the second half, not much point kicking it with the wind so strong.

Henshaw and Cave have linked well in the midfield and their defence has been very good as well.

Sky Sports are going on about how Boss and Madigan have managed the game. I feel like I'm missing something. There's been little structure. It's perhaps harsh to criticise too much given the lack of preparation time and the conditions but...

Gilroy isn't making the impression he'd like to here, struggling to get into the game. Cold hands.

Burns!! There are three other kickers in the team. Give the goal kicks to one of them.

Re: England Saxons v Irish Wolfhounds - Kingsholm
You know I don't think I've seen a decent Saxons performance since Lancaster took over them. Haven't seen that many at all but the ones I've bother watching haven't been great considering the players are supposed to be fighting for full caps.

Re: England Saxons v Irish Wolfhounds - Kingsholm
What the frak are England thinking here?!
Ireland keeping it tight and we're commiting no one, not rushing up to tackle and losing the gainline with every hit. Every player in the team looked disinterested and like they'd rather be anywhere else right now.
Are England even fielding a backrow right now?

Yappy, if the ref won't deal with it we should be streetwise enough to do,that...the dark arts as they're called. But we're not

England look pretty clueless so far. Not looking good for the Scotland game next up.

Re: England Saxons v Irish Wolfhounds - Kingsholm
Not sure. England seem to have the rub of the green from the ref in my eyes. The give away is always when the ref penalises the dominant scrum for a crooked put in. And advancing on the lineout? Please. Haven't seen a single straight put in by the Saxons to the lineout all game.

Zebo has looked very good since coming back from injury. I think it will be him and Fitz to start next week.

Totally true Geordie, really dissapointed with how Wallace and that other one with the arm fetish got on. No physicality, no power and no smarts.

Not true, he gave away two pens in the first half and Stu Barnes spent about 10 mins chatting about how he botched an overlap.

Ja, take the MOTM off with 5 mins to go. He deserves it.
Ruddock probably shades him tho.

Great defending bi hit from thuohy then the support getting over to win the penalty

Great defensive work from the wolfpups but other than that they have offered very little tonight.

Superb defence from the Wolfhounds but how are England not getting penalised at the scrum, they are being demolished.

Well done Jordi Murphy, getting in over the ball. Some good hits from most of the forwards.

What the Frak!!!!!!!!!!!
Every ruck the ref is asking the Irish players to roll away and then penalises England!
What a pile of utter five knuckle shuffle.

Re: England Saxons v Irish Wolfhounds - Kingsholm
Just the one try by England, and that from an intercept. Oh dear. England's woes in creative Backline play will not be solved by Saxons players, and certainly not by the woeful burns.
