[2022 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (12/03/22)

[TRF_Olyy]

my stream dropped during the itoje hit you guys are talking about and now I'm sad. Freaking NBC has the Scotland Italy game on TV now for some reason.

To be fair it wasn't that big of a collision, just funny seeing Sexton stood waiting for the kick to land and Itoje sprinting full force at him

 

[Jimbo]

Weren't Ireland suppose to be some scrummaging super power or something?

 

[WarriorKelv]

Fantastic from all the English players today. Literally the only flaws with this English side is the lack of a proper finisher out wide and the picking of an out form lock.

 

[ncurd]

Genge gets MOTM surely?

 

[Protalus rampart]

Where are the scrum cards? It's getting ridiculous now

 

[die_mole]

if Furlong gets a yellow for repeatedly getting his ass handed to him at scrums it would be hilarious

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Six to one scrum penalties is wild.

Ewels gets a mark for giving England their impetuous to pull their finger out.

Long way to go of course but at the moment there's only one team winning this, could be a turning point for this England team.

Not really...especially missing 2/3 of our starting frontrow. Its the loose play of our main props that people rave about.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Conway should be playing 10 instead of Sexton

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

The psychology of red cards in (mainly) football and rugby in contests against fairly even teams is crazy. How often do we see this sort of thing?

 

[big ginger 8]

Conway is apparently Ronan O'Gara now?

 

[BrokenWing]

Genuine surprise from the commentary team that Jack Nowell "knows how to push"

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Lowe takes out Steward off the ball, they kick it back to where he would have been covering

 

[ncurd]

We not going to look if that tackle was late?

 

[BenniMarco]

Nice to see Ireland suffering the same illness that Wales suffer from against 14 as their fans love to point out - England are just much more up for it from it. Fascinating mentality, they are so up for it and Ireland look stunned.

 

[die_mole]

Conway is apparently Dan Biggar now?

IDK if it's fair to compare him to an all time great

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That advantage was BS,
No one was offside from the overhead angle

 

[Welsh Exile]

We not going to look if that tackle was late?

Never late in a million years in my humble opinion.
