2014 Six Nations: England vs Ireland (Round 3)

[UlsterRugby2012]

that is devastating.

 

[Jaguares]

Quadruple tie: Ireland, France, Wales and England

 

[Draggs]

That was a good match, well done England, well fought win.

 

[Aristodemus]

That was an awesome game, intense from minute one.

 

[Feicarsinn]

England are deserving of the win. Their try summed up the difference between the sides. Ireland never looked likely of a big line break. A combination of outstanding defense on their part and a lack of spark in our back line.

Cracking game, leaves the championship in a great place.

 

[big ginger 8]

So much I want to give out about, but for the moment well done England.

There goes the Slam.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

BOD has never scored at Twickers? Mental!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Well done England.

Devastated, we should have closed it out when we went 7 up, Sexton bottled it.

 

[Groundhog]

Sexton didn't run the show today.

 

[Aristodemus]

Launchbury and Brown were immense today, really happy with the win. Thought Ireland were excellent too but we should have scored more points, May blew two tries ( I agree Yarde would score) and Care made a couple greedy decisions when it would have ended up in a try if he passed wide. Great game of rugby, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

[St George]

I'm overjoyed with the win, but first and foremost i have to say well played both teams, and neither really deserved to lose thatgame.
Sorry to the Irish fans aswell, as i know i would be gutted in their shoes.

I am absolutely knackered and off to bed now (01:00 here), game of the 6N so far IMO. Proud of both teams.

 

[Groundhog]

Idris Elba is smiling through the pain.
Be brave Idris!
EDIT: Can't fault the English effort there. They played a great game and were ferocious hitting rucks and tackles. Two teams were so close!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Sorry Ireland, it could have gone the other way.
I can't sày how delighted I am that some players stood up like that. No one let anyone else down.
It's amazing to see new players on both sides such as Atwood,Henderson, Thomas and Moore stand up on this stage

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Congrats England. Awesome, disciplined defence :bravo::bravo:. Mike Brown was far and away the best player on the field.

Championship is very open now. Between England and Ireland I feel.

 

[lynam1104]

The worst part is I believed we could win it right at the bitter end.

 

[SuperEagle]

What. A. Game!!
Really good performace for England. Pulling it off when it mattered the most

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

The worst part is I believed we could win it right at the bitter end.

Absolutely. Had Ireland won here today it would have ranked along the 2004 win. This England are a bloody good side, much more so than in 2006 and 2010.

EDIT - congrats to Jordi Murphy on a first cap.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Ireland still have this tournament. I can't see any other team getting close on points.

England now have the all clear to lose to Wales, thank god for that

 

[Aristodemus]

Congrats England. Awesome, disciplined defence :bravo::bravo:. Mike Brown was far and away the best player on the field.

Championship is very open now. Between England and Ireland I feel.

Best two teams in the tournament I think, the standard of rugby was so high today.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

The All Blacks and now this, Sexton really isn't doing enough when push comes to shove which isn't good.
