No fuck, therefore no offside line. Though I thought that got changed to offside lines at each tackle, after the Italy decals?
Superb autocorrect game.
Watching out for offside at the fuck now.

Quite honestly, we've always looked best (in attack) with the pair of them, even if it wouldn't be my choice (I'll point out that my choices havn't even been tried yet)

I've been pretty impressed by everyone from 1-8 and 10-15…

Thought, Daly still isn't right, and teams know this

Cannot believe they are bringing Murray back on. He looked out cold.

I think Coka is cementing a starting slot.

Can’t see the game but good to read that.

Also shocked to read that Youngs is shite at kicking after getting lambasted for saying he actually isn’t very consistent at it.

I can’t believe I actually want Willi Heinz as first choice 9.

How can you leave him out? There was a high ball deep in his own half on about 30th minute. I could have sworn it was Billy as 3 or 4 green shirts arrived and he just took their weight. It that defensive part of his game is becoming fully effective, he is making himself undroppable.

He is lethal in attack already.

That, of course, assumes that Jones will not move Daly from FB.

Jumped up quickly in the end, might have been winded in the tackle - probably by whoever tried to clear out and rolled him onto his back at the same time to allow Ireland the easiest turnover I've seen in years. :roll:

All to easy for England, with no Ireland lineout or wide defence. Expect more in the second half.

I think he was worried about his knee, took a moment to decide it was nothing, and looked fine as he walked away.

Am I right in thinking a big win would see us overtake Ireland for 3rd in the rankings? But presumably NZ and Wales are safe... This week

Need to win by more than 15 to move ahead of them…

Scotland move ahead of France, which, after last week I feel is disingenuous hah

He was v poor against Wales - high ball and positioning. Nothing has persuaded me he’s suddenly improved at that. For me, at the moment, I think he’s a impact replacement, at best.

Horror stats for Ireland. 65 tackles, 21 missed and 3 lineouts lost. Good thing we have Youngs to keep it competitive.

Citation: that glorious forward pass into touch to kill us on the counter
