Ireland vs England

by No 7&1/2 Tue 16 Mar 2021, 7:12 am

First topic message reminder :

Thought I'd set up a neutral venue.

Some team news is that Ryan and Ringrose have been ruled out for the home team.

No sign as yet of Underhill so Wilson on for another start unless Jones gets brave and picks Martin from the off. May actually be tempted as POM is back available.

Ireland 15 had to go back for a nervous wee

by No 7&1/2 Sat 20 Mar 2021, 4:49 pm

Well youngs has started horribly.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 20 Mar 2021, 4:52 pm

And daly kicks out on the full.

by Geordie Sat 20 Mar 2021, 4:52 pm

Great kick by Daly there....jeez..

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 4:53 pm

Daly is hopeless

by No 7&1/2 Sat 20 Mar 2021, 4:53 pm

Really good from itoje. Then a nice kick from daly. We really need him to find some form.

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 4:54 pm

Body angle all wrong there

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 4:58 pm

Why are Ireland so good at holding up players?

by No 7&1/2 Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:01 pm

Dawdling youngs.

by Heaf Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:01 pm

In the replay looked like the Ireland players folded in under the rolling maul there?

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:02 pm

High tackles allowed for Ireland, interesting.

by doctor_grey Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:03 pm

I miss Eddie Butler. Seriously. Adds gravitas.

by westisbest Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:04 pm

Good kick from Sexton and good tackle by Henshaw leading to the pen.

Good defence by Ireland to keep England out.

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:04 pm

Slow burner so far.

Mullins is miles better dr.

by Heaf Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:05 pm

Ireland 13 was a yard offside there in front of the kicker before the pen ...

Mullins is really good. I think they should both be calling the big games. Liked Ian Robertson most of all.

by miltonkeynesengland Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:10 pm

Great score Earls..but that is some lousy defence

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:10 pm

Dreadful from England.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:11 pm

Nice line out move that.

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:11 pm

Ollie Lawrence is not a test player so far. Looks way off the pace.

by Heaf Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:11 pm

Poor by England

by Guest Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:11 pm

How slow is Jonny May! Run

by westisbest Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:12 pm

Cracking try from Earls. Great stuff.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:15 pm

Dallaglio however is a dreadful co commentator.

by doctor_grey Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:15 pm

May was looking at the ball and not at Earls hips. Hips never lie, I am reliably told.

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:18 pm

Mako is way past it.

by Geordie Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:18 pm

England look half asleep...

by Heaf Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:19 pm

Surely that maul was collapsed too?

by Duty281 Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:19 pm

Good to see that, after the aberration against France, England are back to their usual ill-disciplined mess.

by Geordie Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:20 pm

Stander well off his feet there...

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:20 pm

More interested in hand signals for the big screen and back slapping a knock-on.

We are not winning this.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:20 pm

Youngs again passing to the floor.

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:21 pm

Young's can't pass.

by hugehandoff Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:21 pm

England awful so far and the match is so so boring.

No flow and zero entertainment.

by Geordie Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:21 pm

Lawrence is learning a lesson today I think. It will be good for him In the long run

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:22 pm

Lost the Ref already in the scrum

by flyhalffactory Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:22 pm

Damn awful game so far, unforced errors, no cohesion, fits and starts

by hugehandoff Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:22 pm

Mako a scrum liability....again

by No 7&1/2 Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:22 pm

Ireland stepping back and buying it from the ref.

by doctor_grey Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:24 pm

England are trying to rush and force things again and are a bit frantic. Right now, the captain's job is to settle things down.

by doctor_grey Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:24 pm

and that plays to Ireland's strengths.

by Heaf Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:24 pm

Not sure there was even a knock on?

by TightHEAD Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:26 pm

Oh Eddie just Frak off

by No 7&1/2 Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:26 pm

Well target daly and get rewards. Bad first half after that first 15. Our weak links really shining through.

by miltonkeynesengland Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:26 pm

Great phase play

by flyhalffactory Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:26 pm

England are bloody half asleep

by Geordie Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:26 pm

Meh..

by hugehandoff Sat 20 Mar 2021, 5:27 pm

Excellent try from Ireland...superb play
