    Slightly off topic but whats with the over militarisation of England games? Soldiers everywhere.

    Too warm for VDF to wear a scrum cap today

    If you don't have Sky Sports Main Event like me. RTÉ Radio 1 has coverage of it right now if you are not near a TV.

    If you miss the game on TV. You can see highlights of it on BBC Two at 7:30pm tonight.

    Poor from Murray/Kearney there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Awful, awful start.

    Healy getting split twice on the scrum is a big worry. Looseheads are not supposed to get beaten by tightheads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,528 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    Jordan Larmour has a try.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭Euphoriasean


    Forward?

    Kicks are good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,076 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Great work from Stockdale there, and fair play to Larmour for getting across.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Forward?

    Looked forward.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,076 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Nice kick by Byrne.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭Dwarf.Shortage


    Does anyone know a good television repair man in Wicklow? Rob Kearney just threw a weapon of an offload on my TV it’s clearly ****ed

    Lovely stuff.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,728 ✭✭✭Former Former


    Great steal from Henderson, skip pass from Kearney, weighted chip from Stockdale. Lovely try.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 26,403 Mod ✭✭✭✭Peregrine


    Got a feeling of deja vu when Stockdale kicked it there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 732 ✭✭✭penybont exile

    Looked forward to me ....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,076 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Kearney starting well.

    I felt something was off when I started watching the game. I've found out what it is.

    VdF isn't wearing a scrum cup.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Ringrose nearly knocked himself out tackling Marler there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,076 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Now that was far too easy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Schoolboy error.

    Nothing worse than giving up a score on 1st phase.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,528 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    I just heard Joe Cokansiga got a try for England.

    EDIT: Sorry for the mistake about Johnnie May. I'm not used to following radio coverage of these matches.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 937 ✭✭✭Kevski


    I just heard Johnnie May got a try for England.

    Where did you hear that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,720 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    Murray poor so far


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,728 ✭✭✭Former Former


    Defensive structure was all wrong there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,279 ✭✭✭ongarite


    Quinlan blaming Murray there for bad decision in that scrum attack.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Murray playing badly.

    Looks like the same player in the Six Nations so far.


  • Site Banned Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭Faugheen


    Larmour has played very intelligent rugby so far.

    Itoje is everywhere


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,528 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    Here's photos of the first two tries.

    We're kicking quite a bit to beat England's fast up press. Not a bad tactic to be fair. England seem well up for the physical battle and getting the better of it so far.

    I agree, and it's worrying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,720 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    None of our ball carriers are coming at pace

    Yet. England working very hard, think we'll find more go forward as the game progresses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭Dwarf.Shortage


    Kearney has been the phoneboxed twice in 10 minutes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Cian Healy just absolutely blasted the ball up field.

    Kearney caught flat footed twice now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,189 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Interesting that Healy blocked that from an offside position but wasn't penalised. Is it because Youngs obviously played it off him?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,720 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    **** off Ben Youngs

    Murray's passes are fairly glacial at the moment.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Henderson playing amazing stuff. Motm for Ireland so far.

    There was no ruck so Healy wasn’t actually offside


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,981 ✭✭✭Naggdefy


    Worryingly Ireland in bother with powerful quick off the line tackling teams.

    To counter that you need a slick, quick varied game. We don't have that last 7 mts. It starts with Murray.

    I thought that but I don't think he was offside.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Stander nearly costing a try there.

    His inability to pass is why Conan should be starting these games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 69,931 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Beirne kicking a dream!

    Yeah. Should have been offside but Owens felt the cynical play to deliberate manufacture a penalty negated the offside and played on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,189 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Murray was knocked out immediately there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Murray just got speed bumped badly. He's still down.
