This is a very frustrating match to watch. Full of could have beens, should have beens.

He's just not quick enough to go an outside arc and he's not big enough to go direct.

Really poor performance. If the pack play as badly as that next week, SA will run riot.

So my entire weekend is hanging by a thread.

Scotland lose
AB's get man shamed
England win
F1 becoming an unwatchable farce

And tomorrow I have to deal with us in a final playing against Austalia in a sport they have dominated us in for over a century.

I may have to drink.

Rassie will have seen England’s poor protection of their ruck ball and send in Etsebeth and Kolisi to counter.

I might not have been entirely serious in suggesting that Ireland care more about the world rankings than a win over the all blacks

Most gratifying to see proper counter rucking. Less so to see it against England.

yeah, I figured you might have been, :thumbup:

I'm still buzzing.

A couple of days ago; I think the bookies had NZ +10; which I thought was a bit generous; I'd have settled for us finishing within a score.

I'm not going to get too excited; because I think we're all well aware that they had a long series of games ahead of today; but it was nice to see our young back row in action today against a quality side; & just see the game plan that has worked for Leinster for years; be played by a team wearing green.

England just need to pay off EJ; & his shithouse selections, & gameplan.

Just a reference to Dane Coles in the earlier match. You may have missed it.
That was a great call from Coles.
Snorted my beer when I heard it.
Who was he talking about? Sexton?

Only just seen Eng v Aus.

Strange game because Eng almost looked better man for man in every position and seemed to dominate. And yet hard to recall any meaningful continuity. As for Aus, for what was once the smartest side in the world for 2 decades, this was a deluge of errors and pens (most of them dim). Summed up by the fiasco at the end to hand Eng the gloss. We'll struggle to see a worse individual performance this year than the one provided by Rodda at lock for Aus.

Yet to see 2nd half of Ire v ABs but seems they must have kept up the effort of the 1st half which was hugely impressive. Congrats Paddies. :thumbup:

Youngs snd Farrell destroyed every attacking option England had...ball so slow.. why is Farrell standing at 10 most of the time.. you have a Ferrari 10 and a couple of fucking Trabants either side of him

England forwards need to have a word with themselves too...sloppy..not protecting the ball, allowing the counter ruck...but then Youngs has a lot of blame there as he just waits and waits and waits until all the Australian defence are up and ready.

According to PR, Eng delivered a performance of total rugby with " exquisite interplay between Farrell and Smith" [/Jake] :crazy:
