DJ just won back some credit by playing a classic Dublin rugby tune, "Dirty Ould Town" !

Sung by an English band.

Steward

[ASMO]

Steward, useless cunt, Mitchell having a poor game too

[JM2K6]

Freddie Steward

It's bad enough when wingers do him...

[Tichtheid]

oofya, that's too easy

[Hal Jordan]

Two missed tackles justvwhrn we were about to get through the yellow card period.

Lowe too big, Steward, Jesus.

[Tichtheid]

Steward, useless cunt,

Is this the Telegraph player ratings for tomorrow?

[Torquemada 1420]

This Prendergast lad looks a bit sh*t.

[Gumboot]

Just when I thought England's defence was looking solid...

Just when I thought England's defence was looking solid...

Been aggressive and a lot illegal but aided by Ire's lack of any creativity so far.

[Tichtheid]

For the record, Dirty Old Town was written by one of the Scottish diaspora about a town in northern England

[fishfoodie]

Good old test match this !!

I'm more than a bit worried that us picking a bunch of pensioners on the bench will screw us in the end

[Hal Jordan]

Every time I see Gibson-Park at a ruck with his back to the camera, my brain registers his bald head and goes, "Stringer".

[Blackmac]

Aki tackling players approaching the breakdown.

[JM2K6]

Great line by Earl, gorgeous pass by Smith

[JM2K6]

That's weird, someone stepped a fullback but he didn't fall over and still managed to make the tackle??

Typical devious Irish shenanigans!

[ASMO]

Can someone tell me the last time (if ever) Steward made a last man tackle? How the hell is he anywhere near an international XV?

[Uncle fester]

That was a peach in fairness

Mitchell's effort was bloody poor as well. Very soft try.

Come on you lot, it was a difficult tackle to make and I think he has had a really decent half

[Stranger]

He taxkled lowe 12 metres from the lineabout 10 minutes earlier

[el capitan]

Thought England started solidly, got the first try, promptly dropped the restart, then seemed to be under pressure for the rest of the half really.

Defence was a little wild, a little lacking in discipline at times, but both collectively and individually a good ferocity to it and we've scrambled well at times. Some of Ireland's attacking has been absolute toilet though tbf. That try after the defensive effort preceding it was really disappointing, but at least got the lead back to 5 with that little flurry at the end of the half.

Obviously in the balance at the break. Hopefully not doing that amount of defending second half though and can have more platform with the ball.

Oil tanker agility.

TBF any full back covering across like that has a fair chance of being stepped by JGP there.

The issue is that Steward was a sure thing. He gets stepped in that scenario every single time.

Edit - In isolation Mitchell was the worse miss there

[el capitan]

Steward was always getting stepped after he massively overcooked his arrival on the scene.

[Uncle fester]

England playing with big intensity.
Will they be able to keep it up?

Ireland have been forcing things a bit. Need to calm down and get some continuity going.

[BnM]

I wonder how much they paid for Eddie.

Usually as we're ahead we play it safe and kick the ball a lot.

[Kawazaki]

Steward has been given a few sugar lumps and been reshoed.

[Insane_Homer]

Wtf, forward where? And results in Ireland a pen. Bollocks

[el capitan]

Mitchell does some good things at times, but I always get the impression at test level he tries to play at a pace/style where he writes cheques his ability then can't quite cash.

[fishfoodie]

Murley stepped over the back line there !

[Margin__Walker]

Jesus Murley.

That was awful

[Oxbow]

Wtf Murley?

[Insane_Homer]

That was proper dumb

[BnM]

Well that wasn't a good decision.

[ASMO]

Utter fuck up by Murley

[el capitan]

Wtf Murley.

[Tichtheid]

Murley should have let that go

[JM2K6]

Dumb by Murley, unless he touched it and I didn't see it.

Ah yeah he did. So dumb not to catch it then
