Eng v. Ire - Match thread

[Danno]

Why was Billy trying to compete for that. Maybe he's bored with the NFL and wants to get some jumping in to try for the NBA?

May looking like a different player to last week

[Galfon]

Ire player down.

[Banquo]

Stupid pens

[Banquo]

Amazon ahead of C4

Well it’s not pissing with rain, and he’s playing openside wing

[Mr Mwenda]

Come on England. Keep the intensity up.

[Mikey Brown]

Isn't this the point we shut up shop and wait for the second half?

[Banquo]

Wtf is Faz doing. Ice man my arse

[Galfon]

Solid defence,Eng but over egged. Pen given.

[Banquo]

Great clearance

[16th man]

Amazing what you can achieve when you don't just kick away turnover ball isn't it?

[16th man]

For all the talk of us lacking jumpers, we're all over their lineout, which is all over the place.

[Galfon]

Eng. making a mess of Ire lineouts,stifling momentum.

[Danno]

I forgot Slade was even playing

[16th man]

Bad to let the break through, but that's amazing recovery and scrambling defence.

[Galfon]

Great break Earls - chance not taken though.

[Banquo]

Bit lucky good by billy

[Banquo]

Bad throw

[Banquo]

Good jackaling after a no arms pants from faz

[Galfon]

Ire doing the hard yards then losing it - credit Eng.

[Banquo]

Nice by Youngs and pack. See what happens when you don’t kick

[Banquo]

Bit too macho there

[Galfon]

Crucial stop to Eng maul...not sure the backs do a great deal joining in.

[Danno]

Dunno why the backs piled into a stationary maul. Anyone?

[Mikey Brown]

I thought that sound was someone trapped in the ruck getting horribly injured, but no it's someone "creating an atmosphere" apparently.
