Ireland vs England - Sat 4.45pm

[Stom]

Struggling to hear what the offense was, but was that 2 in a row against 8?

[Mellsblue]

D looks good, so far.

[Stom]

Looks like I’m back to the first hobby horse, Earl

That disallowed try was luck on both sides. But the discipline again is a problem.

[Mellsblue]

Still no signs of blood on Hansen.

[Stom]

D looks good, so far.

It’s always hard to tell with Keef. But the discipline could do with work… again

[Stom]

What was the offense there?

[Stom]

How can that be given as holding on, ffs!

[Which Tyler]

Surely that was blood injuries for Ben & Maro

[Stom]

I loved Tom curry there, won the turn over, but knew there was a pen advantage so created handbags to waste 30 seconds.

[Stom]

You know what, I just have zero faith in Steward ever making a last man tackle. I just do not think he is good enough. Yes, poor from freeman to drop off, but awful from Steward yet again. He is not an international fb

[Which Tyler]

Mitchell, surely

[Stom]

Mitchell, surely

Mitchell where? Did he miss the tackle on the wing?

[Stom]

Also, LCD has not been great, IMO

[Mellsblue]

Mitchell, surely

Mitchell where? Did he miss the tackle on the wing?

Yes but your point about Steward stands.

[Mellsblue]

It took far, far, far too many caps but Slade finally looks like the player we’d all hoped he’d be.

[Which Tyler]

Mitchell, surely

Mitchell where? Did he miss the tackle on the wing?

Yes

[Banquo]

Not bad tbh, predictable lineout struggle offset by line speed. Mitchell missed tackle and pens downsides. Centres going bettet

[Galfon]

Unlikely score at HT, mix of lower accuracy from Ire and sturdier defence from Eng. Could do with seeing bit more rugby from Eng 2nd half.

[Stom]

Mitchell, surely

Mitchell where? Did he miss the tackle on the wing?

Yes

Wasn’t sure I caught the right player there, but didn’t change the fact steward cannot make a 1 on 1 tackle to save his life

[fivepointer]

Decent half. Nice energy about England with and without the ball. L/o a concern but overall an encouraging first 40.

[Mr Mwenda]

Still no signs of blood on Hansen.

What are the rules, is it blood or an injury? Pretty pitiful if the former, reckon.

[Mellsblue]

BOD’s been reading my analysis of Steward or it’s just blatantly obvious and if I can see it…

[Mellsblue]

Still no signs of blood on Hansen.

What are the rules, is it blood or an injury? Pretty pitiful if the former, reckon.

Something about a cut to the knee so I partially take back my, very on trend, conspiracy theory.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Can anyone explain Hanson going off for blood without any sign of blood whatsoever and a pretty obvious leg injury?

[Epaminondas Pules]

Ah just missed the one above. Though his white bandage was still rather white as he limped off.
