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

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.

Still no signs of blood on Hansen.

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

Surely that was blood injuries for Ben & Maro

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

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

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

Yes but your point about Steward stands.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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