[2015 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (Round 3)

[TRF_Olyy]

What was Ford thinking there?!


Change both halfbacks.

 

[Bluemoon]

I feel the battle of the breakdown has a clear winner today.

 

[TommiG88]

Ireland have destroyed us at the breakdown. Lancaster will never learn

 

[Peat]

I've plenty positive to say about Ben Youngs, but he's started decent and slowly became crapper and crapper with every last bit of zip sucked out of him. Not utterly his fault, the team's fallen apart, but it's super annoying.

So. Changes for whoever's the next game is? And any bets on when Ireland learn to be dangerous ball in hand

 

[Jaguares]

O'Connell is immortal

 

[goodNumber10]

Ireland have done us at the breakdown because their front 5 have been incredible not because we don't have a fetcher.

 

[big ginger 8]

Stupid from Healy there.

Henderson's a good lad to bring on.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Blew the whistle a bottled it, bad refereeing there.

 

[Groundhog]

Not easy for Youngs at the back of a pack going backwarsd it must be said.

 

[glawsfan]

Lancaster being exposed as a poor coach again he has massively underachieved with players at his disposal. Lived off the victory over NZ for far too long.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Please give us camera shots of Lancasters face so we can see the dawning realisation of how much of a simpleton he is.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How offside was Healy?!

Headclash between Cole and Healy - surely a concussion assessment?

 

[big ginger 8]

Healy's concussed I think.

 

[goodNumber10]

Dick Wiggle should come on for Young's.... We need control.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

English forwards SO slow to the breakdown, it is infuriating. Our first touch of the ball was a penalty because we ****ed up the breakdown. England haven't had a single kick chase for the entire game. We knew exactly what Ireland were going to do so why the **** are we playing to their strengths? We know they will use the kick chase, we know they are good under the high ball so what in the name of all that is ****ing holy are we doing kicking everything away right at the Irish with no pressure!?

 

[TommiG88]

Ireland have done us at the breakdown because their front 5 have been incredible not because we don't have a fetcher.

Totally agree.

Edit: are we kicking penalties hoping wales beat Ireland to take this down to points difference?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Cole carrying well.

 

[Peat]

Maybe I'm a simpleton, but surely this is kick for the corner territory?

 

[big ginger 8]

6-0 England since Sexton went off.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

36 on for.....someone

Dick Wiggle on
