I was going to complain about it being nothing on first viewing but Ewels had an absolute age to drop his shoulder the stupid bastard.

Oh well, England weren't going to win anyway but at least Eddie has his excuse.

Definite red for me.

When will these stupid c**ts learn?

No doubt the "game's gone soft" brigade will be out in force, but fuck him, he's supposed to be a Test match player, he should know the bloody rules.

Darcy has just put the whole of England onto Marcus Smith's free form play...

Good quick tap by Harry Randall. That worked well.

Oh dear. This is gonna hurt.

Well at least one Englishman will be happy. Daly no longer has the record of the fastest red in intl rugby.

No complaints about the red - shocker of a tackle. Shocker of a player tbh.

Yep. Though Ireland are very prone to high tackles with their technique and they must be punished consistently.

Sexton must be well over the 90 seconds to take the kicks.

Sorry mate, I know it's not the actually England fans behaving like dicks.

The sweet yet salty tears of Lawrence Dallaglio.

(both co-commentators are annoying tbf)

Turned down a ticket to this..feeling like the right decision now

And the really bad news for you guys is that Eddie has a ready made excuse now.

Nowell doing a sterling job filling in for May at that scrum.

Steward is soooo slow.

Oh no, I'm sure there's plenty, but we both know that rugby fans in every nation are like this these days.

Anyway, this looks like fifty pointer

I haven't seen that as a feature of Irish play at all. Are you talking about the choke? They don't go in high there. They end up standing up

Bundee Aki isn't great at getting low plus the choke hold tackles.

Yeah fuck this. Might go for a walk

That was nice. Dan Sheehan making hay out on the wing a few plays in a row

The new POM.

Went back anyway.

What's Ireland's biggest ever win over England, wasn't it Croke Park in 08?

Anyway we're going to see it beaten today.

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2022 5:02 pm**

Brains on someone to whack the scrum half there.

But we are getting filleted.

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2022 5:03 pm**

Moral victory (the best kind) at the scrum

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2022 5:03 pm**

Didn't Ireland have advantage?

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2022 5:03 pm**

Getting beaten on the outside with 14 will happen but they just came through the middle there.

Eh? Dropped it onto his leg and forward. Always a knock on.

Fuck, Curry is limping.

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2022 5:04 pm**

Genge reminds me of Barcella when Fra won 1 scrum against the ABs and then proceeded to be annihilated on the scoreboard. Front rowers

Marchant has had a seriously good start at least

Great, now Curry is fucked.

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2022 5:06 pm**

Gosh that injury in training for Curry really helped us eh Eddie

But it's okay we have 7 cover

Right

Right

Thank you.

Wasn’t anything other than a knock on.

Just seen a replay of the red card. Seems slightly harsh. Face to face contact but didn’t seem like a deliberate or malicious incident.

And there goes Curry.

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2022 5:06 pm**

Is there a way someone can turn Dallaglio's mic off? Pretty please?
Feel free to turn Darcy's mic off at the same time.

Obviously Eddie will use being a man down as his excuse but the defence is worryingly poor.

And now no curry. This is going to be very bad.
