Can be forgiven not putting the ball in straight once but twice is brain dead.

Ireland right back in this now.

If that's a penalty though then every feed will be a penalty.

Maybe start following the bloomin rules and feed it straight. Not hard

 

[profitius]

Its an awful half of rugby

Yes, but every 9 in the world does it.

Let's over ref it and make every scrum and instant penalty - already like that anyway so nothing will change.

 

[ruggabee]

Nothing is happening. It's like I'm staring at the screen and drifting. I keep switching back to the forums for updates.

 

[jaffka]

That doesn't make it right.

The laws are there, if it's not done right then as has happened a penalty will be given.

 

[Aristodemus]

This ref killing the game

This ref killing the game

The issue is that he's a perfectionist. Won't let the game flow.

Other killer for this game is Barnes. His negative hot air constantly blowing.

 

[goodNumber10]

This game could have been so so good....... Just let the game flow.

 

[big ginger 8]

Ugh. That was annoying, but surely based on the previous 70 miuntes that should have been a penalty just before the knock on.

Much improved from D'arcy in the last 10.

 

[TheSaffycen]

My oh my Itoje and Ewers were incredible for that try ! Wade with a lovely finish

 

[Aristodemus]

A Wade try and a little cuddle to end the match

 

[big ginger 8]

Well this was a waste of time.

 

[TommiG88]

Bring ewers into the England team!!!

Simpson had a bloody good cameo too.

 

[goodNumber10]

Lovely pass from Slade there.... Not a good game, ref strangled it on the first half and it never recovered.

 

[ruggabee]

Congratulations England (**** you). We just weren't good enough. I'm not sure what to say. All our players looked anonymous. What made it worse was that no English player stuck out in my view either. D'Arcy's experience is unwarranted. Marmion has a crisp pass. Madigan isn't a 10. Henderson had a nice run or two. But yeah, generally, the wolfhounds didn't play with energy. Good on ya England (a**h**les) )

 

[chippieolamus]

Ewers and Kvesic were brilliant. Waldrom, Itoje, Slade, Pennell, Mullan and Ashton (surprisingly) all good also. Disappointing that the ref didn't let the game flow however.

 

[Crapspray]

A glimpse at the end of what sort of game we could have seen. Telling that when both sides were actually given more than five phases they pushed into the 22 and, in England's case, scored twice.

Great games from Ewers and Itoje. Mullan and Thomas did very well too. Kvesic showed what an openside can bring.

Love a bad but very generous loser!! Could have been me that made that comment
