Ireland v England, 10/02/13

Pathetic either kick off or let each other go. Well said Brian Moore.
 
Christ, Healy has lost the plot today. Swing his arms wildly at anybody he can now.
 
England taking their chances better I guess. Despite the lack of attack it's a good game to watch, a tight contest but will probably break out in the 2nd half. Both teams will need to be a bit more risky, maybe more short kicks.
 
One of the worst rugby matches I've ever watched, and not because we're losing.

England are just far sharper. Can't see us winning at all. I know Heaslip is captain, but he needs off, get O'Brien at 8, Henry 7 and POM 6. Not a very impressive performance by him.
 
Bloody hell.....Guscott talking sense......going ono about the composure that England are demonstrating and, indeed, what made last week's performance so good. They continue this way and the irish continue to drop the ball then there is no chance other than an English win.....Love it...Wood defending Healy stamp!!
 
If Tom Youngs could do a hookers job (I.e. Hook and chuck in a lineout), England would be well in the lead by now.


Keith Wood saying there was nothing in Healys stamp. ****ing prick.
 
Not exactly food for the gods, but I'll take 40 more minutes of that.

Only thing really to criticise England for is some of our ruck protection, and Chris Ashton's belief that he is a big man capable of running into defences as a one-off runner needs nipping in the bud.
 
Thank god Harley has not been on doing a Healey. It would be wall to wall ban him, scum etc. Can he get cited for both incidents? Be hard to explain a weeks ban if so.

Hope Englands bench can have a decent impact in this half. The game is still for the taking by both teams.
 
Remind me to have an early night next weekend. Easily one of the worst games I've watched.

If there isn't a decent try this game - I'm seriously just ganna start recording/watching highlights.
 
Very disappointed for Ireland. Zebo looked DEVASTATED coming off, surely after just 10min against the very match he probably anticipated the most...hard to watch his expression...
Of course Sexton gets injured too. Of course...

England looking strong, but unsettled too. Surely they're not comfortable playing in Aviva, as a third party I can objectively say...uncharacteristic mistakes, epitomized by actually losing the ball in an England-introduced scrum.

But then, with all the efforts of the Irish, some silly knock on or wtvr...and England: very, very solid defense guys.

Hope Oirlend has a bit of magic in this coming second half !!

Try watching your team get thrashed 60-0 at 4.30 am then you can complain
 
What chance BOD gets Man of the Match as it is "his day"!!
