England vs Ireland, Part 2

First topic message reminder :

For continuing discussion of Ireland vs England in Round 3 of the Six Nations

Previous thread; https://www.606v2.com/t51752-england-vs-ireland

Ireland have released various players to the provinces; starting for Ulster against the Scarlets on Friday are Paddy Jackson, Luke Marshall, Darren Cave and Iain Henderson. Leinster have named Jack McGrath, Sean Cronin, Martin Moore, Mike McCarthy, Rhys Ruddock, Jordi Murphy, Eoin Reddan, Ian Madigan and Fergus McFadden in their team to face Newport-Gwent Dragons. Tommy O'Donnell and Felix Jones will feature for Munster.

There's a lot of competition, mainly for the spots on the bench and possible starts later in the tournament. Can Madigan oust Paddy Jackson? Can Jordi Murphy or Rhys Ruddock force their way in ahead of Tommy O'Donnell? Can McFadden or Simon Zebo force their way into the back three? Who will replace the injured Dan Tuohy; Iain Henderson, Mike McCarthy or Donnacha Ryan? The latter is back from injury and likely to play some part for Munster.

Dan Tuohy has been ruled out of the tournament while Keith Earls, Luke Fitzgerald and Tommy Bowe are still injured and everyone is praying Johnny Sexton doesn't pick up a knock; he's expected to be riding the pine for Racing Metro.

Any English posters want to update us on their squad?

England set up for the drive, way too compressed to react to that. Genius move!

by nobbled Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:01 am

Well worked try - well played Ireland

Gutted

I hope May plays against Wales

by Hood83 Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:02 am

Great angle. Poor defence around the rucks from England, little surprise.

Ok that really is pathetic by England. Just so slow witted.

I'm English, but I have to say that Irish try was utter class.

by Geordie Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:03 am

Why did May not go for that!??

May has to run FORWARD!

by Geordie Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:05 am

Ah Ireland can take this game now if they keep this up...

by Hood83 Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:06 am

Our scrum is a disaster. May i think has lost his head.

Surely that's yellow for Lawes?

May be he does not want to get hurt.

How many consecutive penalties can England give away without copping a yellow? Phase after phase snuffed out by illegal play.

by Cari Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:07 am

Oh Lawe(s)d!

by nathan Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:07 am

nothing wrong with that from lawes. he ripped it.

Shut your trap pal

England just need to chill the Frak out

by Geordie Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:07 am

England are making errors galore...but its purely down to excellent Ireland play.

It's a reasonable question. Professional foul in the red zone that.

by HammerofThunor Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:08 am

The England players never left the Irish breakaway so it was still a maul. If the Irish player had broken away on his own it would have been a tackle. Bad call

by kingelderfield Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:08 am

no on field leadership for England

eerm, where was our advantage?

by nathan Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:09 am

See, i told everyone he interfered...

by Hood83 Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:10 am

Think we're in trouble here. We look rattled. After the missed try we've just looked mentally a step behind.

Terrible decision, Toner made no attempt to roll away.

by HammerofThunor Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:10 am

Irish excellent at just cheating enough to get away with. Guys offside, not blocking the ball but interfering with English player feet positions when they're trying to ruck. If the ref lets them do it fair enough.

by glamorganalun Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:11 am

England have to score next although Ireland are on top only 7 points in it

by kingelderfield Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:12 am

England are pathetic

by yappysnap Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:12 am

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK SAKE!

Thought Burrell was going through for a sec...

by nathan Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:13 am

really wish brian moore would tone it down a bit, im on edge enough

by Nachos Jones Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:13 am

What is Farrell calling out there? Another overlap wasted. Got the 3 points but really should have been a try.

by Hood83 Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:13 am

That is truly pathetic from England. Absolutely woeful. Yellow card ref?

by kingelderfield Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:14 am

pressure!

by Hood83 Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:14 am

Scrum...uh-oh

by yappysnap Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:15 am
