[2016 RBS Six Nations] Round 3: England vs. Ireland (27/02/2016)

[Tony Manx]

Must be a record.....no Irish player gone off injured yet?

 

[Crapspray]

Ahh, England penalized at the scrum again, how can just one team's scrummaging be constantly at fault?

The question is why England would collapse when they're stronger when it stays up? They've gone forward at every scrum. Absolutely no sense to collapse it. Not to mention they're smashing Ireland in the contact.

Then again Romain Tw... I mean, Poite has some unique interpretations.

 

[smit1099]

Brown with his usual brilliance again, superb under the high ball so far.

 

[TommiG88]

Wasting so many chances

 

[Tony Manx]

There could have been three penalties there against Ireland for not rolling away!! Seen them all given......

Just careless rugby by England.....

Brilliant half from Billy V.....brilliant!

 

[Saint4805]

Think it's the 6N that should be every four years based on the level of entertainment we've seen so far.

Drop Scotland and Italy out make it home and away and the quality immediately goes up

Anyway that's for another time .

 

[gaston le gaff]

Poite looking Good for Man of the Match!!!

Tw...Lol, totally agree, the Irish scrum is clearly under pressure, Robshaw pointed to Ross' knee touching down as he was struggling yet Marler is penalized again..it's almost as if Poite is 'levelling' things up and the scrum is very open to the ref's interpretation.

 

[McTallshort]

FFS! Youngs will you ****ing look where the ball is and where you are bloody passing

 

[Saint4805]

I said entertainment not quality - there is a difference.

Not sure which games you have been watching as your proposal just make it home and away snoozefests.

Wales v Scotland has been the best match by some distance.

 

[TommiG88]

FFS! Youngs will you ****ing look where the ball is and where you are bloody passing

We should be 20 points up, this will come back to bite us.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Hugely frustrating. We should be out of sight by now.

Itoje and Billy have been immense and I'm sure I've even seen Hartley run onto the ball at speed a couple of times.

 

[Maverick1987]

I'm pretty pleased with that half . Shame we couldn't get a try but big billy is looking over his shoulder at Nathan Hughes and just driving forward . A little more accurate in the second half and I can see us pulling away around the 60 minute mark

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Bring on Clifford and Daly ASAP please Care not so long after aswell.

 

[Aristodemus]

I think that we will end up with Hughes at 6 and Binny at 8, they are both too good to not play.

 

[gaston le gaff]

Poite playing a blinder with his side kick Nigel also brilliant Butch and Sundance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Christ England should be away with this by now!

McCloskey and Henshaw defending brilliantly and Henshaw looks like the only thing that could do anything with ball in hand for us!

JVdF having a very formidable debut, McCloskey hasn't had a chance to attack, you must blame Murray pondering the meaning of life at every ruck for that though he's been muck. Trimble might be playing his last game in green. Second row haven't been bad if not imposing.

 

[smit1099]

Looking at the replay of the disallowed try how the hell could the saffer vid ref call Hartley as having used his knee for a double movement is ridiculous!! His knee never touched the turf after landing and the pack took him forward?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Is the lead caster Jeremy kyle....? Ok, forget I said anything
