I think we have to accept every marginal decision is going to go Englands way.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:10 pm

Ireland playing the Wales scrum trick here now realising they're getting done.

by EnglishReign Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:11 pm

Surely a card ref? Constant infringements.

by king_carlos Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:11 pm

Surely a yellow coming at the scrum soon?

by tigertattie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:11 pm

Nowell MOTM for me

Kick off chasing and his scrummaging work

Like the high tackle pen that wasn't that led to Ireland's 2nd try?

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:11 pm

Next pen is a yellow on scrum.

by Soul Requiem Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:12 pm

Simmonds has shown today he does have the physicality for international rugby.

by majesticimperialman Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:12 pm

Ireland give away another scrum penalty.

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:13 pm

Wow Nowell...

by king_carlos Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:14 pm

That kick chase today. My lord.

Brilliant from Maro too. That looked like a fluffed restart from the second it went in the air and England weren't under it.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:14 pm

That is targeting the leg?

Yes.

I think this game is a leveller.

Ireland are not as good as what people think they are (me included) and England are better than what we thought.

Whatever the outcome, I think this will help shape both sides. Wake up çall for Ireland and a confidence boost for England.

I honestly think England may run out or steam in the last 10, but great showing.

by Soul Requiem Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:16 pm

Winning or losing from here no longer matters, this performance has been immense. The pack to a man have been wow

by EnglishReign Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:16 pm

Might as well switch off here with this clown officiating.

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:17 pm

What's he looking for now - he's already given a pen?

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:17 pm

Well. I'm shocked they're checking this and not the charge down.

by king_carlos Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:18 pm

Still Marler and Launchbury to come for the forwards though, Sarge. So there is impact to come where they will tire most.

by EnglishReign Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:18 pm

This micro-analysis has been one way all game

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:18 pm

Park was moving the ball....no pen!!

by tigertattie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:18 pm

You’ve got to feel for the other 13 England players out there when one players discipline kills it for the others

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:19 pm

Come on England.....

If JGP was cynically stopped from playing it by Itoje. I think Maro got away with one there as well. The first two angles didn't show much just as they decided "nothing clear and obvious" a shot that's very clear and obvious of Maro grabbing JGPs arm shows up and goes ignored. Lucky IMO.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:20 pm

That should be englands ball? Smith dropped it into Conway?

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:20 pm

Ian which case England denied a potential intercept try

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:20 pm

What a game by Genge

by king_carlos Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:21 pm

So cheeky from Smith. Love it!

Advantage anyway for England being offside. They were clearly in front of the line as well tbf.

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:23 pm

George making the mistake of throwing in straight Wink

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:23 pm

Yay youngs

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:24 pm

God he's awful.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:25 pm

Is Malins still on the pitch.

by king_carlos Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:25 pm

England finally starting to look knackered during that ping pong it's got to be said. Completely understandable but the line speed has dropped.

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:27 pm

They don't deserve the win

by Collapse2005 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:27 pm

Yesssssss

Yeah. Unfortunately the big turn around came from youngs horrendous box kick.

by king_carlos Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:27 pm

That's an off feet clear in at the side...

Time to go for the BP

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:30 pm

Dived straight off feet at that last ruck - pen to England instead of Irish try ...

Do bore off. You lot never win when it actually matters.

by king_carlos Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:31 pm

England are burst now. That man down finally showing, completely understandably. They fought remarkably well for 70 minutes.

Honestly it wouldnt have made any difference if England had 15 men you still play 10 man rugby all day long. 7 tries in 4 games is pathetic.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 6:32 pm

Real shame for England. Been the better team with 14 and deserve the losing bonus point at least. Ewels is getting the drinks tonight.

Can this thread, that's be largely discussion in good nature please not digress into infantile bickering for the final moments?
