England
Would like to hear more from Wood about the rugby/gaelic football and fielding the ball. I haven't played rugby since I was very young, but Ireland always do seem to be superior to anyone we play against under a high ball (only Folau looks comparable in terms of style that I remember, and he was an Aussie Rules player).

I'd be interested to hear how much our constant kick-chasing is specifically to take advantage of the fact that pretty much all our players can compete with anyone for a high ball.

Ref is very slow to call holding the ball, Murphy looked good over that ball.

If Hartley really wanted to rip it, he could have, milked the penalty instead

I agree to an extent. Should have scored more with the pressure we had early on. Still. Good position
