[2025 Six Nations] Ireland vs England - 01/02/25

[ncurd]

Unsure why that was a penalty.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Discipline a problem in the Itoje years.

Who'd have guessed?

 

[ncurd]

Proper match this.

Think this yellow is a little harsh.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Slade now playing 10 for England, what a time to be alive


Maybe he can see the future and that's why he's been playing there so much for Exeter

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

As much as I complain about O'keefes lack of flow I really dig his whistle strap.

Yellow was spot on.

 

[BrokenWing]

Ireland called for blocking shocker

 

[ncurd]

As much as I complain about O'keefes lack of flow I really dig his whistle strap.

Yellow was spot on.

Mine is more a complaint that England were on a warning for cocking up a new law.

 

[McTallshort]

Can't fault England at the minute

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

FFS

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Mine is more a complaint that England were on a warning for cocking up a new law.

It was the third offside by Smith in the 22 tbf,
Despite the team warning it felt more specific to Smith because Genge infringed too and thought he was getting the card initially

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Yeah I thought the card was for the offside 5m out after a line break? Probably good for England to have the card go to smith than a prop.

 

[big ginger 8]

JGP a long way off his usual standard and it's killing us at bad times.

 

[Grizwald]

England just haven't had any ball or territory since they scored. Tbf they've let Ireland in through errors.

 

[Grizwald]

RWC 19 Semi proved you can get away with a short backrow when you have two athletic locks in Itoje and Lawes. Not working when Martin is playing.

 

[Which Tyler]

Surely that was blood injuries for Ben & Maro

 

[Saintjay]

Freddie defence genius

 

[Reiser99]

And people say England are arrogant. How many 3pts have Ireland turned down?

 

[McTallshort]

England seem desperate to let Ireland score but Ireland don't seem interested!

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Ire creating opportunities but making mistakes or runners taking sub optimal lines. We're defending hard, but if Ire sort that it might not be too clever.

 

[Grizwald]

Got to say (touch wood) England's defence looks much improved.
