no arms, yellow from the cheapshotting ****
Late shoulder barge from Punchy Farrell.
Oh look, Farrell!
bottled
He really is a nasty little shit of a player.
Neither side taking their chances.
At the moment, a wigwam AND a tepee.
"the wonderful beard of Gordon Darcy"
🙂
Joubert, let's play rugby???
(Except when against us 😉 ) I love the way the Irish 3/4s play the game. Moves, pace etc...why can't everyone do it.
Nasty side to Brown as well. Farrell will take a pop at the wrong person sooner or later appears to only have a go at scrum halves at present.

True.
You'd just love to see him have a go at a big lad only he seems too sneaky a little bastard for that.
Whinge whinge.
Great to see England have found some wingers at last.
Wingers who drop the ball over the line! England butchered at least two tries by not drawing and passing.

POM has run over him a number of times

I think he was high tackled then the ball was knocked away by a great tackle. Little bit different but hey ho.
Still, better than Ashton.
The prospect of Farrell and Spikey in a fortnight. There may well be handbags.
I mean actually have a go so that someone would give him a proper hiding.
Just as well it wasn't BOD. He'd be facing the death sentence if he ever tried to travel to Ireland. 😀
DezB - MemberStill, better than Ashton.
That's not something to brag about really. My boy is better than Ashton. And he's only 11 and at least he can tackle.
Spikey will be unlikely to start. He's a proper hard nut though unlike Farrel who is just a cheap shotter.
Big Jim Hamilton?
Grewcock would be a candidate too. Never mind that he was on the same side.
Where are England touring in the summer? Please let it be SA.
Exciting stuff, one big break may decide this.
Three (poss 4) great 15s at the moment. Good to see Kearney back at his best.
Let's hope it's a classy moment that wins it.
like a knife through butter...
Classy moment?
There's one.
Bllx, spoke too soon, but good try Kearney. Irish come at pace better than the rest of us. All from a moment of stupidity.

Not bragging, just pleased to see the right players being picked at last. Now for the centre!
Ah. Damn Kearney!!
😆
👿
Our new guys showing a bit of immaturity here and we are getting punished hard.
Tackler doesn't roll away, but Irish more gobby than England and Joubert falls for it????? FFS!
Swing low sweet missed overlaps!
Game on. Bitter turns sweet 😉
Oh no Youngs warming up. Kiss the line out good bye.
Neither side looks like scoring from long phases do they...defence is excellent from both sides.
Cracking game.
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
8)
😀
Phew 😆
As I said, cracking game. No complaints. You can tell from the England players' reaction how big a result that is for them. And well done to them.
Best match of the 6N so far, could have gone either way. Well played Ireland. How did we survive being scrummaged off the park??
Right, where have my fingernails gone?
Epic match - really high quality. 😀
Pulsating match there! MASSIVE hits going in right to the last. Well done eng for keeping discipline and condistency
well done England now if you dont mind losing next week I'll be really happy.... or is it the week after?
So, Ireland beat Wales
France beat England
Wales beat France
England beat Ireland
All going to form 😆
Best #15 of the 6N so far? Tough call!
Blimey 40-51 mins was ropey to say the least. Brilliant defence from both sides.
How did we survive being scrummaged off the park??
Excellent defence, a very poor re-start from Sexton that led to the try and poor handling by Ireland in the last quarter. It was England's defence that won them the game, but on the flip side, it was Ireland's that kept them in the game when they lost momentum in the third quarter.
Not Sextons best match this time. Our wingers looked good in attack but not so sure in defence or under pressure.
I would have liked to have heard Brown say "I think England wanted it more today" in the MOM post-match interview 😀
As much as Ireland mixing up the tactics between matches can often work to catch the opposition unaware, I couldn't help thinking they could have played to their established strengths a little more today and mixed it up a bit too much.
Great to see England with a backline actually capable of running the ball too.
