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

Horrible technique but fair play putting his body on the line after this horror half

 

[IT157]

lol ...

Exactly. Probably a turnover. Playing in your half is not a good idea. All the best teams kick to get out of their half if nothing is on.

 

[JMCP1]

Ireland are the most unlikeable team in Rugby. Even I a Scotsman find myself rooting for England against them.

BP here, beat Scotland next week then 3 weeks break before France

 

[AlRums]

after one week I'll go:

france

italy

Wales

Swap the two Englands

 

[Geordie]

Baptism of fire for Murley...but hopefully he'll learn from this

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Chessum and Willis have added impact

CCS just seems to be more highlight reel smash and his line work in defence is really lacking

 

[AlRums]

Good first half been shocking like everyone but the Curry(s) in the secondm

It wasn't that good a first half, Ireland didn't wake up until the 50m mark.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

How did Dan get a central contract?

I am not going to explain something so basic on an alleged enthusiast forum.

There are absolutely no reasons why you'd run a phase or two in your own half? Okay.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

LBP is a good result tbf, especially with how badly we dropped off in the second half

 

[Saintjay]

Steward would have scored that better

 

[Grizwald]

F Smith kicking has far superior range.

Not sure who you can point the finger at, lack of leadership I think is a big issue. Someone (Itoje) needed to grab the side by the scruff of the neck.

 

[McTallshort]

Losing bonus point

 

[ncurd]

We don't deserve this LBP

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Randall been so much better than Mitchell today

I would like to see Randall, Chessum, Willis start,

Indeed.

How much of that was Ireland letting up themselves though?

To use as a way of getting out of your half sure.

Kicking is the best percentage play when you're not going anywhere. If you are not making any decent gains, you use the kick to put the pressure on the opposing team and put it in their territory (ideally).

I would start Willis next game..

 

[Crash Hamster]

Well that's just typical, two late tries to completely mess up my 6N predictor...
