Nice one my boys Eng 16 - Irl 20

i watched but only to see if it showed una healy from the saturdays as her boyfriend ben foden was playing for england

Congrats mate. Scrappy game though, the weather didnt help.Thought Ireland deserved to win really. (3 Tries to 1 tells its own story) Ireland were much more incisive and took thier opportunities well.

England seemed to 'huff and puff' but never really made any real breaks,
they had much more possession but also had too much slow ball.(and as for the turnovers and the lineout ) They did improve 2nd half though.

Prehaps they should have passed it wide at the end. Ah well.

Bring on Scotland & France !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Going to drown my sorrows now .....

Can't see England doing anything this year, they're a poor side. Ireland deserved the victory.

Is there a single intelligent rugby player in England? The decision making in that side is appalling and the discipline is still poor. Ireland, even when nowhere near their best, were light years ahead of England in the backs and so much better at producing quick ball it was embarrassing. England are in desperate need of an on-field leader - Borthwick, hard as he tries, simply isn't up to the job - and if he can't find his kicking boots again it's difficult to think what Wilkinson brings to the side.

Great match, althought no more matches until the middle of March!

good characther by our lads to hold on and win that when they wernt playing their best,I honestly felt it was over when Bod whent off,and darcey was clearly not 100%,england were getting past the gain line for the first time in the match.

I think to be fair england tried to make a point and get the ball out wide early on(the main reason for the first try),but the way Ireland defended,england were going nowere.and it would have played right into our hands.are kicking from open play won us that match,high balls in paticular.England lost ground when they tried to run,and they kicked the ball very poorly.they didnt chase thier kicks,and gave our backs time and space to run it back and clear thier lines.

whats keeping england in games is jhonnys goal kicking and drop goals,but from open play he cant read a game.he should have kicked in behind our defence to touch,playing feild position.their isnt a ball carrier in their team to get past the gain line.Tactically they didnt target earls once?id of imagined theyd of launced a high ball and have monye armitage come bombing down on him,didnt see it once in the whole game.

Another blow for England held to a 15-15 draw with Scotland. Johnson reckons there's improvement.... I suppose it was an improvement over the performance against Ireland, that was woeful.

Against Ireland was the best game they played under Jhonson,the last 25 mins they showed shape,and that they had atleast some idea what they were doing.
the only player on the pitch yesterday who showed any promise was foden,its was a dire game
