Huw Jones's strong Scottish brogue makes it difficult to understand some of his words.

He should be, especially now he's scored a few with Sione not around to feed him. Whether he will be is a different matter, but he should be. Much more than Finn unless he gets his sh1t together.

What do you mean by crowbar?

I would say he doesn't single handedly unlock defences as much a he used to. Now relies on his reading off the game to be in the right place.

He was born in Leith to Scottish parents. Go bang another drum.

ITV have got Eddie Jones. In a surprise he still sounds like a wanker.

He used to be guilty of holding onto the ball and making poor decisions of when to pass (and not being great at it either). He's improved that a lot, still prefers an offload to a pass but it's not a weakness any more

I see scab is already getting his excuses in line saying how Ireland have double the caps blah blah blah.

Hard to understand why any producer would think the horrible little prick is a good choice.

Was just thinking the same thing. Same commentators were nailing him (rightly) when he was coach of Eng and now they are sucking up to him.

Listening to this, the Welsh can cling to one thing: their national anthem isn't sh*te.

F**king embarrassing performance.

2 really shit decisions to kick from Smith, nice break though

Posted: **Sat Feb 01, 2025 4:51 pm**

Freeman's just not fast enough out wide, off the Smith break any winger worth his salt would have tested the defences pace.

I have to put it on mute. There are few songs I really hate, but that is one of them.

Previously I forced myself to sing "My country tis of thee" to the tune, but it doesn't always work.

Kick for the corner was a very poor choice.

Oh, and now we shit the lineout.

If that is an Ireland thrown surely it means hands in the ruck from Earl.

Posted: **Sat Feb 01, 2025 4:56 pm**

Nicely worked try from England

Posted: **Sat Feb 01, 2025 4:56 pm**

Good kick by Slade. The tactic is working so far, all Ireland have been able to do is belt it in the air under pressure.

Posted: **Sat Feb 01, 2025 4:56 pm**

Beautiful.

Posted: **Sat Feb 01, 2025 4:57 pm**

Nice from Slade. Sadly that means his place is confirmed for another five years.

Posted: **Sat Feb 01, 2025 4:58 pm**

Nice try, well done Murley gathering that ball.

And absolute dross at the restart...

Blood replacement is so shameless that not even the Indian cricket team would sink that low.

Bit of a soft try to concede in the end there

How can any knowledgeable fan boo that decision.

Disgraceful cheating. Well done TMO.

Have Ire just been pinged for illegals at a ruck?
