Utterly unneeded from Jospeh.

And from Launchbury.

That's a hell of a tackle to hold him up.

Bit harsh on the rolling away. Launchbury was being held in I thought

Slade's not done much but that's an amazing tackle.

Chris Farrell starting to exploit some uncertainty in our midfield defence

I really like Doris at 8, think he's got a big future. But Ireland have done him no favours at all this game. He's been lined up time and again and England are targeting him as a carrying threat. It's been very effective

He rolled the wrong way, not that it matters

Lawrence showing up well in defence. We’ve had very little ball.

That's the 3rd contested Garry Owen that Billy looked clueless at. Why is he there??

Not sure I like the jj as blind side wing thing. Too many backs end up in unfamiliar places

Shame for Robson that we've basically been doing a defensive drill since he came on.

I was just trying to work that out. Seems like about 4 different styles with a perm on the back.

Why bother shifting Farrell for Ford at this point?

That was nicely done.

Kind of wonder why they've waited until now to do something about the blitz defence.

He doesn’t quite have the top end gas for that role imo.
