    Catches him high. It's a yellow card. Irish lad was literally taking a knee which has to be taken into account. Just one of those things that will only be eliminated from the game if the physical nature of rugby eliminated too. There was no clear malice in it. He was chasing a player at pace who took a knee when catching it. He did well not to properly hit him in the head.

    Tmo’s have been poor all day, in a senior international flannerys try is overturned every day of the week, hopefully we push on in the second half with the wind on our backs

    No it's not. The on-field decision was a try and the TMO couldn't see any reason to overturn it.

    If the ball is brought back over the goal-line then it's fair game. Very poor awareness from England

    EDIT: Notice we're talking about different tries. Don't see how it's over-turned 'every day of the week' considering it looked like he got downward pressure.

    Referee giving penalties to both teams for holding on in the tackle. With the wind in the second half, Ireland have to kick the ball and play in the English half.

    We are not making much progress on the gainline. I guess it is to be expected against a big English team.

    Neither side look excellent. A good few unforced errors. England do look threatening out wide when they have space.

    Any other results today?

    In a senior international with more input from referees and better angles available I think it would of be overturned looked like he lost it as he went to ground it. As I said with better angles in pro games it would of been clearer

    That's one that could well have been red on another day. Far more deserving of sanction than the first yellow.

    Nah, he was crouched, initial contact shoulder then slipped up, Irish lad dipped a bit. Think yellow was the right call.

    Ref sounds Kiwi Aussie

    That's a great try, took a lot of determination and work at the previous ruck to wrestle that. I think we need another score quickly enough, I feel our pack are working harder than theirs and that's going to start paying very soon.

    Craig Casey is a brilliant player. Excellent prospect. But he really needs to work on his kicking.

    Soft try to give back so quickly. Got narrow and should never find ourselves giving so much space on an overlap to 14 men.

    They've been unstoppable when they get out wide.

    Silly decision from Casey, did the same thing in the first half trying to kick crossfield and kicked directly into touch.

    Whatever about them being down a player, but being down a 10 you keep the game away from the forwards. Should have gone through the hands for a few phases, England's organisation would have broken down without a 10 and gaps would crop up.

    More worrying however is they got wide of us easily enough with 14.

    Been a fantastic game and advert for the level but I can't help but think the English power will win out in the final quarter as we tire.

    Ah crap. Good position and England standing off. Really sloppy pass. Hodnett has been great but he looked extremely awkward trying to pass that. Not a distributor!

    Technically we have much better skills and accuracy than England to be honest.

    They are more physical and more conditioned and winning a lot of the collisions but we're dealing with the fringes better.

    That's a great try all the same, excellent retention and good understanding and cohesion in the build up. We look well coached.

    I think Irish teams catch up on that physicality we lack at this level quickly enough, but you can really see the difference in terms of rugby IQ and basic skills.

    That is a very odd red. Never seen the likes of it.

    It was foolish but the Irish player half climbed over him.

    There couldn't be anything else than a red for that. He knew exactly what he was doing when he scooped him upwards from the legs. There was absolutely no need for it he wasn't even a part of the ruck.
