[2023 Six Nations] Ireland v England - 18 March 2023

[higgik]

I try to normally be fair to refs as they have to make many decisions quickly.
Remember Steve Coppell said, if my players made as few mistakes as refs, we would be champions.
But today it seems that Peyper has a preconceived idea that Ireland are better as so make decisions based on that, very similar to favouring ABs.

Sexton clearly collapsing the maul again that's not legal though rarely penalised outside of a lineout.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Let's bring Marcus on and then blame him for the loss

 

[Groundhog]

Yeah baby yeah

I can cope with this spirited performance, especially with a few game defining calls being somewhat controversial and going against England.

Love the rugby insight you get in these match threads.

 

[Groundhog]

If anyone is still doing stupid penalty counts, I'd add that one

 

[McTallshort]

Steve Mitchells on

Card Keenan for existing and daring to try pick up a ball was an interesting one

That was right up there.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Irish fans should be afraid now with mako and cole on the pitch.

 

[AlRums]

Last pass look forward to me

 

[BrokenWing]

I was wondering where I'd seen Sheehan before

I'm not too fussy at this stage, England have to take risks they shouldn't normally. It's when they do it 2 minutes in that's infuriating.

 

[big ginger 8]

I came.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

England should be ashamed of themselves. Can't even be bothered any more.

Do English players have any ******* intelligence at all!?

Interesting but both accurate and fair

 

[IT157]

This game has been somewhat more frustrating than the French game.

Yeah, we're not getting destroyed, but the idiotic penalties are irritating me.

That's clearly Ronan O'Gara
