[2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Lawes MOTM. Sorry?

I mean it would have been a real asshole move to give it to sexton.

Irish half-backs still largely out of form.

Er. Bonus point chaps? Gone passive.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Lol. How illegal can ya get!

 

[Scotty]

I agreed it was late, just not an illegal tackle.

Geven the circumstances then do you agree YC? No pen try though i believe he had a chance given his pace.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Not that it's worth complaining at this stage but he was in touch when he caught the kick.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Disappointed with no BP, but otherwise very happy.

It is a genuine shame that Paddy Jackson got himself into such trouble, as he looked like a proper long-term replacement for Sexton, much more than Carty does. And who could possibly argue that John Cooney is still an inferior player to Conor Murray?

Isolated yes. But May won the ball illegally so call it quits!

For all that England have done well, the glaringly obvious thing is that they haven't looked like scoring through a set piece move or running attacks. Tight around rucks/mauls or scavenging errors from kicks? Sure.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Worst thing is that if we kicked our very kickable and hadn't gifted England two stupid tries the scored would actually be level.

Obviously it's more complicated than that and we were never going to get anything from this performance but still frustrating.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Disappointing to concede late, but that was better than I was expecting

 

[TheOvalBall]

Very disappointing from Ireland, but it's good news for France.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Scoreline is about what I expected, performance was way worse.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

In Eddie we trust.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is that saints fan that posts on here about Eddie about?

 

[Tooting Carmen]

24-12 FT. Unless something dramatic happens in two weeks time, I am very concerned from a Welsh perspective.

 

[big ginger 8]

Consolation but some of the younger lads did show well there and last year we didn't even get the fecking consolation tries. Hopefully Farrell realises the changes that need to be made.

Well done England you have our number for the moment.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Well before the game I thought we'd get battered, after the game it's a shame we've not got the bonus point. Not bad against 16 men
