[2024 Six Nations] England vs Ireland - 09/03/24

[Reiser99]

Really good win for England that, important for them as for some time they've not looked half as dangerous as today. They made a pigs ear of it in that second half but generally displayed a clear a blueprint of how to beat Ireland. Ireland to win the champ now as the best of a shakey bunch of post World Cup teams.

IFW is some player. Genuinely gutted he's in white and not red but get his choice.

Him and Earl for me are the two players England need to build their attack around. Explosive, pacey and have a good step. Get them into space and England will regularly unlock defences.

WOOOOOOOO what a win! Did it the hard way but the first rays of genuine light in such a long time.

I don't think there is any other way against this Irish team

 

[Booboobang]

Tbf we said this after the Boks semi
Next week is gonna be really interesting


Buzzing, don't get me wrong - but I don't consider us as having turned a corner yet

I think what makes me think this is differnt is the consistent implemenation fo things from game to game, first 20 last gameshowed what the plan was this week they sustained it.

Maybe I am just to borthwick pilled in this moment of emotion. But I think coming in before the world cup hurt his perception, was fire fighting.

Since hte start of the six nations it has been relatively steady improvement. I wasnt excited about english rugby prior to the tournament, but there is atleast a glimour of hope that he has some idea of what he is doing.

Disagree did people forget last week?

See I don't agree with that, I didn't see any improvement outside of one or two set plays (which we'd shown we always were capable of) - but probably a discussion for a different thread/day

I wonder if Borthwick might well only swap Ford for M Smith and not make any other stating changes. None of the rest of the bench feel like they deserve a start.

Do you forget the first 20 of last week where it was exactly what they were able to sustain this game? Good teams arent made over night.

Does anyone think Earl is talking about us in his interview? Haha

 

[curtbob7]

Brilliant performance and probably deserved to win by more. LBP flattered Leinster.

Was like the first 15 max and it went to pot


let's be real this isn't the first time England have looked great for one game

Did he say England fans are really handsome and knowledgeable?

It was two weeks ago.... What happened last week?

Individual errors were the reason for the loss against Scotland.

WHAT A GAME!

 

[munstermuffin]

Fair play England. Always said it was a banana skin for us but ye were better team and fully deserved the win.
Great to hopefully have ye back competing and hopefully we back at levels we have next week

Who needs an onlyfans when you have Bod and Wilkinson on.

 

[Wasps92]

Heaslip can kiss my ring piece.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I'm a massive Borthwick fan and have generally been his biggest defender but that game doesn't make him the Lisan al Gaib who has seen the golden path

Earl is huge. Very similar to Ardie Savea in terms of explosive carries and power at the breakdown for me and NZ base their attack off him a lot. Rest of the pack stepped up today though as well, won the gainline and breakdown against one of the best back rows in the world.
