Ireland vs England - Sat 4.45pm

[Epaminondas Pules]

Only thing in the first half and while we’re defending pretty well we’re still missing some pretty obvious wrap arounds.

Just need some more ball now.

[Mellsblue]

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

Agreed. Hence my partial retraction.

[Which Tyler]

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

There was enough blood, possibly his own, to get him 10 minutes on the physio table and an ibuprofen.

That or there was unstaunchable bleeding that didn't show up on camera

[Oakboy]

Will the lead survive replacements?

[Shiny]

Looking forward to the new England bomb squad off the bench of Willis and CCS…..

[Stom]

Why do you call that back for a forward pass, ffs Keef

[Which Tyler]

Unnecessary from Murley there.
Wonder if he had a call from the Irish bench

[FKAS]

Oh Cadan. Misses the catch and then panics. Unless he's touched it let it go dead. If he has then just hoof it out.

[Mellsblue]

Murley is soiling the bed.

[Stom]

Oh Cadan. Misses the catch and then panics. Unless he's touched it let it go dead. If he has then just hoof it out.

Touched it…

[Stom]

Mitchell missing another.

This is a very England performance. Good 20 minutes, good defense as a team after, but awful otherwise.

We lose our heads consistently.

[FKAS]

Oh Cadan. Misses the catch and then panics. Unless he's touched it let it go dead. If he has then just hoof it out.

Touched it…

Would explain it.

Fluffed it again in the 22. Shame because he's generally looked decent. Under a hint of pressure in his own 22 under a kick and he goes to pieces though.

[FKAS]

That's a horrible call. Phantom push.

[Mellsblue]

Mitchell missing another.

M. Smith this time.

[Mellsblue]

The new no8 better be farking good.

[Stom]

Keef is awful

[Mellsblue]

Keef is awful

At least he know who is missing tackles out wide for England

[Stom]

Keef is awful

lol.

I think my comment was late, as it was definitely Mitchell when I commented. Maybe smith missed another, my stream did cut out for a bit.

[Stom]

We’re not as good in the air as we think we are

[FKAS]

Keef is awful

At least he know who is missing tackles out wide for England

lol.

Was Marcus for the try. One on one with Aki, went low and got half stepped then just skipped out of it.

We've got to keep hold of the ball. We've barely played any phases this half.

[Which Tyler]

Keef is awful

Aki's try was definitely Smith most at fault.
Mitchel could have done better, but was positioned for Smith to have actually tried to tackle Aki, so could only do his best to get him closer to the touchline

If you were talking about a different one, we'd need to know which tackle

[FKAS]

We not even reviewing head contact now?

[Stom]

My stream is all over the now… frustrating.

Like England

[Mellsblue]

I thought Keef said the next player to come in and start a fight would get a yellow…

[FKAS]

Ref "next player to run in and start something is a yellow card". Lowe comes in after the whistle and nowt.
