[2020 Autumn Nations Cup] England vs Ireland (21/11/20)

[Leinster Fan]

If we'd kicked our penalties we could be 6-5 up.

Obviously probably wouldn't be but goes to show how stupid our insistence on kicking to touch every penalty is. What happened to building a score?

Not as stupid as Pascal's reffing of the breakdown.

 

[Jimbo]

One day England will release a tackle...

One day Ireland won't fly in off feet...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

England's D looks very good

You're not even trying anymore

True, he could ping Ireland at every other breakdown TBF.

 

[Groundhog]

Some salty Irish lads on here.

Have you seen the English in literally any match thread that doesn't go their way?

 

[Leinster Fan]

Except we have been penalised for that and you haven't for the 4/5 penalties you've gotten after holding on.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Imagine being English and thinking you're getting a rough ride here hahahah

 

[Reiser99]

Thing is, if you take Johnny May out it, the score would be 0-0. England still don't look like scoring comfortably either. Really needed to take a couple more chances for points.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

England haven't allowed a point in 4 straight halves. Defence has been outstanding this year.

Very salty

If you took out the players in white then the ones in green would be winning

Is anyone saying that though?

That's a silly comment. Not saying England haven't been better, but like against France, they have had to rely on a bit magic from Johnny May, rather than being able to score tries as a team.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I mean it's no different to how England fans get when we are losing TBF

 

[big ginger 8]

Really don't know why we keep playing in the middle third. Byrne cannot get us wide in an advantageous position. What he can do is kick and England have not been good at exiting apart from the second try which was a turnover.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

when we are losing

Happens so infrequently I can't remember it

 

[Leinster Fan]

We've been better than I thought we would be but still not good enough. Same issues from our other games against England still exist.

Our inability/refusal to score is our biggest problem, we're not creative enough but also not particularly great at kicking to the corner and driving over. And then we refuse to kick points so no surprise we're still on zero.

Yeah that's normal in international rugby. The margins are very slim so it takes a bit of magic now and again

Aye I'm surprised you've not exploited how bad we look under the high ball
As long as you don't kick to May in space you should be grand

Cursed us now
