Ireland v England

[pakman]

@MN5 Oirish numbering!

[mariner4life]

geez the Irish have such consistent selections. Do their fans crap on about no one else getting a go? Or are they just happy with the same blokes?

[antipodean]

@mariner4life The Leinster ones are probably delirious. Only major concern would be why the other provinces get a token player or two.

Leinster. Ireland's Canterbury.

Not all of them can move to Leinster.

[pakman]

Munster used to be a lot stronger, which livened selection up a bit.

I watched the U20 clash. England continue to find 2 m+ giants at lock and 6, although the blindside didn't last that long (red card after 13 mins for shoulder on head contact in a tackle). They are using 20 min red cards in this competition. England were down to 13 players in the 1st half but still looked comfortable.

Only one Munster starter.

None from Ulster

Also I can see why they chose Sam P at ten - 'needs more Leinster'

Long term is got to be a problem, that much of the national team in one place

Lively start by England.

7-0 to the Poms

Murley with a try just 8 minutes into his debut test. Great work in the build up by Marcus Smith.

Ireland 0 England 7

Even for NH rugby, I feel like that was alot of box kicks in the first 10 mins

I didn't know Byron Kelleher was playing for England.

Gibson-Park's assimilation is clearly complete. Looks a proper leprechaun now.

[sparky]

Ireland would be nothing without their Kiwis.

Ireland score. Weird try. The ball squirted out of a ruck and no one from England reacted, but the Irish Hooker eventually picked it up.

[sparky]

But they are looking at it. It's with the TMO.

[sparky]

No try.

[sparky]

England still leading 7-0.

Itoje gets a try ruled out for something he’s perfected. Fair play.
