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

[TommiG88]

So the the rucks are going to be refereed poorly.

Nice to set a tone early.

Ireland went in at the side and it was fine, England do it and it's not.

2 penalties in 3 minutes from England that's unusal. Massive kick from Sexton.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Crap early ruck from England.
I hope Joubert doesn't get swayed by the crowd today; if he does, England will lose 99 - 0

He already has - Haskell's penalty wasn't a penalty, and Goode kept that penalty kick in but they gave the lineout.

Watch Mike Ross get done in now, but win a penalty anyway

 

[Tadginator]

Game, set and match. Just park the bus now. Bit of tika taka possession play from jordo "xavi" murphy and we wil have this game wrapped up

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Yeh, thought that about the Haskell penalty - he got back to his feet and was fair game, imo.

 

[j'nuh]

So this is the aerial champion that is so much better than May (not bitter)?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeh, thought that about the Haskell penalty - he got back to his feet and was fair game, imo.

Yup,
He also got dragged into the ruck (illegal) and didn't effect the 9 getting to the ball.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Can we trial noise-reducing technology for referees? I almost feel sorry for Joubert at the Aviva!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Where are the cards ref? 3 in 7 minutes!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

SOB stopped 5m out on full charge by a 3st flyhalf :lol:


Happy to leak 3pts there, thought it'd be more.

 

[big ginger 8]

Should have got a try from that, but good start anyway.

 

[Tony Manx]

No worries.......England usually down by a try by now so in much better place!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

On another note Hartley is literally so so terrible at the breakdown. He just instantly goes off his feet.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Seriously what the?
Irish players diving over the ruck off feet, and the referee just tells them to roll away. There was at least 2 penalties at that one breakdown then.



Weeyy, Ford DG.

His eye's going to be a mess tomorrow, already swelling up/bright red.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Ireland will need to be quicker to roll away in the tackle or will probably get pinged.

 

[Tony Manx]

Sure you don't want to upset the little people..................

 

[ratsapprentice]

England have been leaving the tackled player on the floor for a really long time before rucking on attack this 6n.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Cipriani would've scored from that Ford break p)

Brilliant little run from him.
Goode and Watson working well as a wing/fullback combo......
Do we not get our back 3 working in training as a unit? We must have the least amount of understanding in them of any international side. Not since Foden/Ashton have we seen real cohesion.

Farrell as defence coach, 10/10 would hire again
Farrell as backs coach, 4/10 must try harder
