Something something Prendergoat
Have at it.
Two very soft tries conceded by Ireland.
All the old boys are unreal for years.
JGP, VDF, Conan, Doris, Bealham, Lowe, Aki, Henshaw.
A lot playing well for 6, 7 years. This 2022-25 team is our best ever. POM, Murray, Henderson earlier in the period.
That's annoying, allowing England to pick up a bonus losing point.
Poor to give them a BP
Poor tackle from crowley there
100% but you play what's in front of you and Crowley has managed it much better tonight
Yep. Absolute pathetic officiating.
Kick it out of play lads. Don't give England that 3rd try.
EDIT: I spoke too soon. Damn you England.
Gonna call it. Sheehan will end up in the top 3 Irish try scorers of all time by the time he retires.
That was absolutely a no arms tackle on Conan and probably should have been a penalty try.
That was an interesting tackle
No arms tackle on Conan??
For God's sake Healy, great servant but time to retire.
Conan has been great coming on. JGP and Lowe are game changers.
Hansen is weak, I wouldn't have him in the 22.
Can't be arsed getting in to the Prendergast/Crowley debate- it's tedious. I'm glad we have two out halves competing against each other.
JGP best performance since return from injury. Deserved MOTM
Lawrence has been lively - be worth keeping an eye on him for the rest of the tournament
Crowley clearly the best option at outhalf at the moment. Prendergast had two poor decisions directly before both England scores. Quite slow to gey his kicks away and real lack of pace.
Massive difference since Crowley came on. Far more pace, better decisions, Goal kicking better too. For me he needs to be given the starting berth for the remaining games.
How was Loewe not MOTM ??? he was superb
Well England have scored here. That's a bit annoying.
Super display from Ireland today
Gibson Park wins man of the match. Him and Lowe were the 2 standout performers.
Crowley has the benefit of Ireland winning at the rucks, we played with much slower ball in the first half.
I wasn't happy with the blame landing on Crowley when NZ beat us in the AIs, I wouldn't be blaming Sam for the slow start today nor our slow ball.
James Lowe surely POTM
Conan Sheehan and Crowley the difference. Doris and Porter came good as well.
Crowley looking pretty relaxed.
I listened to Brian O'Driscoll at HT on ITV remain so calm about the performance, or lack thereof in my view.
I should have shared his confident patience.
This second half performance has been levels above the first, not hard I know, but 22-0 so far.
Munchelle fans will be happy with Crowley :)
As a Sam fan, I have to say Crowley is very good since on.
It's a great situation we're in.
As the yanks say- WHO KNEW???
Lowe unbelievable MOTM
