How crucial will that Farrell miss be. Easy 3 points thrown away.
Just watching the last half hour at the moment. Lots of effort, lots of physicality, but not high skill levels from either side. Ireland grinding grinding grinding - yo'd think a try wins this.
Also Farrell - bad miss. Unexpected.

Farrell is not helping his team with the kicking, c'mon England hold this out - Ireland can't play boring rugby now!

Well that was a guest move to take that kick when they have Daly 25-13, just minutes left

Sexton having a 'mare and Ireland have no plan B. Irish attack has been almost non-existent, unimaginative and lacking in pace - some of the passing has been awful.
Poms aggressive in defence and making few mistakes. Not pretty but effective.
-
Slade's try sums the ineptitude of the Irish backline. They have been appallingly bad tonight.

and England intercept to win it... by reading the play and shooting up. Well played Eddy, well played England.
Hopefully the world cup has faster ball though - thi has been pretty stodgy stuff

Yup, but they also have some pretty lightning fast backs when required, so a step up from the worst ten man slow-rugby that could be on offer

Clearly the world cup favourites are now
England
Wales
Ireland
South Africadaylight
NZ ... no chance

That's what happens when you forget to look after your Aura.

What a performance from England! Awesome defence and looking sharpe on attack.
As has been mentioned Ireland's issue is they have 1 game plan that they do really well...until they don't. They aim to be more physical than you but England picked a team that stood up to that and gave it back.
All Blacks need to look at that and learn from failings of last year, do they specifically pick a team to be more physical than them?
