Pre-RWC test matches
-
Enland with an early Farrell penalty but Ireland right back at them with a converted try in the corner.
Shit defence from England. Three defenders blocking out the Irish chaser, no one watching the ball.
England 3 - 7 Ireland
12 mins gone -
Slick ball off the back of the scrum, England easily outflank Ireland.
Cok in the corner.
England 8 - 7 Ireland
14 mins gone -
That was a peach of a try from England.

England look bloody impressive.
Ireland have pack problems. Best is their John Smit just past it and their South Africans Stander and Kleyn are struggling.
Backs are also defending poorly.

@Billy-Tell England make more dominant tackles than any other team. Hugely physical. Agree that Ireland have been average.

Ireland rudderless

Impressive by England. But to win the World Cup they have 5 consecutive games against tier 1 nations, although they could probably afford to lose one of those pool games. Will be tough.
Ireland don’t have decent backups for 9 and 10 if Carbery doesn’t make it.
Intriguing to see how things pan out in second 40.
-
England running riot.
Ireland very much second best.
Forward pass for Itoje's try. Good line though.

That should have been a yellow against Tuilagi.
Just can't help himself.

Absolutely excellent tackle.
