So Earls not strong enough to support his weight at the breakdown, penalty.
Vunipola takes off horizontally 5m from the ruck and cleans out the Irish defender, play on.
Fucking consistency Gardner.
-
Soaked up the card pressure after the try.
-
I saw that and wondered exactly the same thing.
Mostly I think Angus has been ok though.

At least he watched the tape of Itoje against France

Superb from Ireland.
Patience, confidence, execution.
-
Stockdale strikes again.
New 6N record.
-
Right, back to 15 a side
Record for tries in 6N from Stockdale.
Now let's have a record points loss for England at HQ
-
As soon as you hear England are unlucky from Pougattvand Woodward then you know you've won.
BOD going to be the smiling leprechaun amongst the ogres
-
England will be lucky to get out of their World Cup pool at this rate...
Ireland are a serious team these days. I’d be in no way confident of winning in Dublin in november.
Still match has a half to go.

We can but hope!

Every time Daly gets the ball he makes something happen.
So let's put him on the wing and hardly pass to him.
Great coaching Eddie

Deserved penalty for being dumb.

@mikethesnow cannot agree - barely even touched him in the danger area. It's s contact sport, after all

Milled! And scrum penalty.

@majorrage @MiketheSnow I guess in a weird(/wrong) way it's consistent. If the so-called "seatbelt tackle" is deemed neck/head contact... then that should/could be considered a neck-roll.
Although I disagree with either being considered dangerous. If they were... then the very term "seatbelt tackle" suggests seatbelts are dangerous? -

Clear mandate from on high, close to the head and the decision is going to go against you

While professional rugby players have strong tough necks and might take a blow over the shoulder without much issue, young kids do not have tough necks.
The rules have to apply for everyone, and I'm OK with protecting kids, even if it means adults have to behave a bit differently. Those sorts of tackles are yellow carded all the time in junior games.

That's a good point, we always "rate" rule changes in the context of international/professional players... it really should be what we'd be happy with the kids dealing with.

FFS Gardiner
Should have been a penalty against England for making no attempt to get to his feet
