    Good half, extremely inventive, we have a lot of control over the game. That move that sent Henshaw through the middle was a thing of beauty

    We've been great without the ball.

    That was a great 1st half for Ireland. That 1st 40 minutes went by very quickly.

    We're in total control of this match but it's not showing on the scoreboard.

    If only Sexton got that last penalty. If we get the first score in the second half we should have this.

    Take that score at half time. Expected nothing else but a massive battle and that's what it is.

    Best has been tremendous in the loose.

    He has. Did you see the state of his shirt at half time? It's ripped to pieces

    Hate this fcuking attitude. A man can support his country in a sport he likes. He can criticise the style if he likes.

    Best, Toner, Sexton, Henshaw (looking really sharp) Payne and Zebo have all been excellent. TOD has done really well since he came on. Need to keep it up and just been a tad more accurate and this game is ours in the second half.

    England
    Definitely would have scored a try if England weren't cynical on their line. I wish referees would give yellows for those, you need to deter it because teams are all too happy to concede 3.

    Would you agree that it's been the defence that's gotten us where we are?

    How many times has Murray kicked the ball away - it's awful stuff to watch when it happens.

    England have been offside the whole time, ref only copping on to it in the latter stages of the half.

    There's criticism, and then there's just nonsense.

    We're well on top mentally and have that edge over England.

    In fairness I cant bring to mind a player who isn't doing much. Bowe perhaps though he usually comes out flying in the second half when he's quiet in the first
