    That was an interesting tackle

    That was absolutely a no arms tackle on Conan and probably should have been a penalty try.

    Gonna call it. Sheehan will end up in the top 3 Irish try scorers of all time by the time he retires.

    Kick it out of play lads. Don't give England that 3rd try.

    EDIT: I spoke too soon. Damn you England.

    100% but you play what's in front of you and Crowley has managed it much better tonight

    That's annoying, allowing England to pick up a bonus losing point.

    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.

    Two very soft tries conceded by Ireland.

    Switched off a bit there in the last five.

    A win is a win though

    A bonus point win, but very dissapointing to let them take a losing bonus point.

    That’s a terrible finish by Ireland letting England in for 2 cheap tries. Should have seen that out.

    That's a great win but disappointing to let them score there.

    Hopefully, it won't come down to PD

    Oasis now.. you wouldn't know what team they were putting it on for!

    An ecumenical effort😅

    I'd rather have 5 of our own, much more important. They were bollixed after that effort.

    Lowe & JGP maintaining their 1st half levels, Conan, Sheehan coming on and Doris, Porter and Beirne moving up a gear in the second half was the difference.

    Crowley kicked a very good conversion and was busy. Made a couple of errors too. As was said, 10 was not our issue in this game.

    Conan particularly won two brilliant restarts as well as everything else.

    if Ireland can cut the BS and start picking players not on loyalty but in a cut throat professional manner we could be something special.

    Crowley is our best 10, Osborne and Nash should be in our team, Henderson Murray and Healy are finished.
    let’s get our best players on the field, stop with the nonsense.

    Very poor to give them a BP and eat in to our pts difference. We defend like that in Scotland and we haven't a hope.

    Amy idea if Furlong will be ok for Edinburgh? Bealhams injury looked a bit painful.

    well done Ireland, good win , lets leave the SP-Crowley sh1te out of the after match comments . It was SP’s first 6N start but the pack were not up to scratch in first half (down to England being ferocious ) , so whoever played 10 didnt decide this particular game.

    As others said it’s good to have three good ten options available (id include frawley).

    We could do with that competition in other other positions

    Poor finish, but a pretty ruthless second half. Both out halves were good, with mistakes by each. Conan, Sheehan, and Henshaw lifted everything, imo. Lowe and JGP were excellent, everyone else was solid with good moments without being outstanding. Plenty to improve on, but credit to England in the first half, they made a total mess of our ball.

    The oul Scots will be dangerous. They have to beat us at some stage.

    Except our slow start wasn't the reason for the over thrown passes, and kicks that were to long to contest.

    Imagine 10 years, 2015, since Robbie Henshaw's winner in the air in the Aviva v England.

    Thought Crowley was excellent when he came on and I wouldn't be his biggest fan- sorry.
