Completely correct decision.

They ran into each other at pace…

Crazy take on it. Not sure how you can apportion any blame to Ryan for that. I note Ryan hasn't reappeared by the way. Seems fair to me that Ewels won't either.

Marchant is having a very busy game

Cop cat.

This game could be the making of some players though. Step up now not only is it showing ability but character too.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:17 pm

Surely Healey is off his feet at that maul?

by tigertattie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:20 pm

When did slapping the ball out of peoples hands become allowable?

Ah I didnt see your post lol.

Yeah this game will suit the more free flowing players...Sam Simmonds for example

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:20 pm

Are you allowed to have a hand on the ground in a maul?

Nope.

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:21 pm

And play the ball from the side of the maul?

Great question.

by majesticimperialman Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:22 pm

Ireland pack really struggling to cope with England at the moment.

by Collapse2005 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:22 pm

Harsh pen, pushing before ball was in.

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:22 pm

What was the AR right there looking at then - his bellybutton?

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:22 pm

125kg of Courtney Lwaes.....lol erm nope hes not!,

by tigertattie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:22 pm

Jack Nowell must be the best scrummaging flanker in world rugby right now

by westisbest Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:24 pm

We’ve not been great since going a man up. Hopefully can up our game.

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:25 pm

So Healey off feet and offside yet the AR stood right there says nothing ... hmmm

You're allowed to do that.

That first 82 seconds though you were great.

Its the same one that didn't see Marchant throw it 2 metres forward ....

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:28 pm

Ah yeah - he's not up to the job then

by Soul Requiem Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:29 pm

I find it curious that Itoje occasionally does away with his scrum cap.

Thrown backwards just momentum.

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:30 pm

How is that a free kick?

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:31 pm

Wasnt that a knock on

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:31 pm

Why did the ref not check on sinckler

by king_carlos Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:32 pm

Tackle that forced it was ruled offside GF.

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:33 pm

How was Itoje done for a high tackle there?

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:34 pm

England been so good. Great performance from them.

Never backwards or even flat.

Stupid penalty for Henderson to give away

by king_carlos Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:35 pm

High tackle call was a bit harsh as Ringrose was going down and it's marginal. As already seen in this game hitting at that height is asking for trouble though. Get your height down lads.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:35 pm

Smiths kicking has been off today!

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:35 pm

Well that try came from a ridiculous high tackle pen ..

Meh. Just take a look at your lineouts and say swings and roundabouts then!

It's one of those days.

by majesticimperialman Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:37 pm

To say England are down to, 14 men Ireland are not taking advantage of it much. Yes Ireland 15 England 9 but England are staying in the game.

by Soul Requiem Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:38 pm

Very poor from the ref not checking on Sinckler there.

Take a look any line outs, not just Ireland. Straight throw seems to have gone the same way as a straight feed at the scrum. Just waiting for the law change ...

Could have done. Though from first look he didn't seem obviously in trouble.

Yeah George can throw straight. Maybe Lawes will have a moan at half time.

He was flat on his face clearly knocked out, it was obvious straight away. It's a nonsense red carding players for going high and then disregarding player safety later in the same game.

Didn't see it myself at the time. You will see players end like that quite often though so I'm not sure I point any blame to the ref.

This wasn’t reviewed? Furlong pretty lucky.

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:44 pm

As much as i love Johny W, but boy he does waffle on sometimes.... Laugh

by Collapse2005 Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:45 pm

Conceding 9 penalties is terrible, we wont win if we do that again in the 2nd half.

Jonker. Probably a high pen to low yellow though.

by Heaf Sat 12 Mar 2022, 5:47 pm

The worst TMO in history looking the other way when it's England again ...
