Also, ref will not score too well allowing the quick tap for the try when Sinkler was clearly out of it.

Well, certainly not for the first penalty on the 22, but also not for the one you're talking about

Give it a rest ffs

Shit technique from Sinckler, to spark himself, but not the point, ref shouldn't have allowed the quick tap (from the wrong spot).

Nice show of spirit. But England will ship 30 in the second half.

Yeah, have to say that I've been impressed with the grit. The game largely lurching from set piece to setpiece will help conserve energy for the end of the game too.

Ireland, like so many teams seem to these days, have managed being a man up very poorly.

Pretty good effort from England in that half - but being a man down is going to really tell as the game goes on. At least it was only Ewels and not someone half decent ! Such a shame the game has been ruined by the red card - I think it would have been a really good contest. Now it's just a question of how long it takes Ireland to secure their BP.

Plus I don't think Sinkler is sparked, just being a bit lazy as he had heard the whistle.

Failed his HIA so not on for the second half.

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2022 5:50 pm**

Failed HIA for Sinckler, in fact. Mighty Will Stuart on...

For all their strengths, Ireland are really poor at exploiting space.

Jamie George just murdered Sexton there.

You realise how unlucky Ewers is with Bundee Aki tackle where he doesn't get low at all.

Since when does that ever equate to someone being "sparked".

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2022 6:00 pm**

Surely a yellow at some point given the number of scrum pens?

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2022 6:00 pm**

How many more penalties is Furlong going to be allowed without being binned? Very kind to him at the moment.

And for those who are convinced we're running it round, tbf it was more Stuart doing a number on his opponent.
