[2019 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (02/02/2019)

[Jockstap]

What exactly is the wake up call though?
To not believe your own hype too much perhaps but what else?

Simple as that, it happens over and over again in my time watching Irish rugby, we fall in love with ourselves and think we're invincible, an England loss in Dublin would be a nice reminder for the WC after beating the All Blacks.

May is having a stormer so far, nowell got to play 7, manu is doing pretty well at 12, and daly ismt a failure at FB.

People dping player match ups pre game and saying Ireland win hands down. Doesnt look that way so far. But to say England will win would be crazy as i know the threat. Quietly confident though.

Come on England!!!

Edit: actually this was unnecessary.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Why does Clive Woodward get air time? I find him extremely dull and always appears full of himself

He only appears full of himself because he is

 

[bushytop]

Good to see Aki and Henshaw get on...

 

[Leinster Fan]

Is Earls off injury related or tactical?

 

[Hanley!]

I was worried about Henshaw coming on at 15 instead of an actual practicing fullback, and it's been costly so far. Should have given Larmour, Conway or Addison a go there instead. Plenty of time to go, but England are worth their lead so far.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

****, I thought it would be over by now ... I wasn't prepared for a tense second half. The agony of hope. Here we go

Agreed - I'd much rather they didn't give us hope before they let us down...

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Nowell punches above his weight, but keeps running into heavy traffic.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Awful awful kick

 

[Leinster Fan]

Owen Farrell showing why he's a world class 10...

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Why are we suddenly kicking every other phase

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Owen Farrell showing why he's a world class 10...

Always rated him

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is he really gonna call blocking on that after everything Ireland have gotten away with

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Farrell putting in a big kick in the middle of being tackled haha

 

[ncurd]

May really unduly punished there.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wow

Did POM call sinck the C word BAN HIM 4 LIFE

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Harsh on Ireland for short advantage but then what was may penalised for?

 

[Every Time Ref]

May really unduly punished there.

Thought it was a fair call personally
