Six Nations Rugby 2018

Luke Cowan-Dickie looked really promising when he came on.

Looking forward to ruining Ireland's party later today.

England team to face Ireland: Watson; May, Joseph, Te'o, Daly; Farrell, Wigglesworth; M Vunipola, Hartley, Sinckler, Itoje, Kruis, Robshaw, Haskell, Simmonds.

Replacements: George, Marler, Cole, Launchbury, Armand, Care, Ford, Brown

Such a shame about Jack Nowell's injury.

Come on Ireland! 21-5 at half time. Grand Slam still alive.

England are really handing it to us on a plate though. Why are they giving away so many penalties?

Well, he didn't call the game today. They were way behind Ireland tactically. If he had watched the previous games he would have seen how Ireland struggled when the ball was moved out wide, instead he used the battering ram tactic and it was never going to work. Brown should have been on from the start, caused so many problems.

Great to win a Grand Slam in Twickenham though :) Is there any better way to do it??
 
England game was hugely frustrating to watch. Much prefer the set of players we had on at the end of the game vs the start and the last 20 minutes it looked like they were giving Ireland a good run. Was just too little too late.
 
Is about time to ditch Eddie Jones and his coaching staff, the England squad has looked pathetic since the Argentina tour.

Get Baxter in atleast he can get a team to play

He constantly refuses to pick in form players and instead picks out of form favourites.

But don't worry it's all a learning experience apparently.

Not even worth watching England games anymore
 
Well done Ireland.
I think the current Irish team, as skills, fitness, tactics and squad depth level is possibly one of their best ever.
No individual superstars, but a few coming close.
They play very well as a unit, and hopefully will maintain their depth.
They missed a few players, and it didn't show, even to the point of having your fifth choice centre on the field by the end of tournament.
This is some of the most consistent I have seen Ireland play, might be a year early unfortunately, as people will have plenty of time to pick them apart and indeed try tactics against them prior to next years world cup.

Massive overreaction given what he's achieved.

Ireland are a very good side and should be world cup contenders.

This could be the kick up the derrière we need in the run up to the world cup.
 
All sadly predictable in the end. A very good Irish team beat a generally average sporadically excellent England team. Loving the massive over reaction on social media and BBC comments. Eddie Jones is a horrible little man but we all knew that, he’s Australian and a Hooker it’s self evident. But he has also led Australia to a World Cup final, part of the World Cup winning South African coaching team, got Japan to beat an admittedly poor South Africa, has won a Grand Slam and a Championship. He’s not a chump coach, let’s not throw our toys out the pram too soon.

Wales managed to sneak a win against a France who were very good in the first half and very stodgy in the second. It’s a shame I like Trinh Duc but he killed the French momentum in the second half. Wales looked ok but still butchering too many opportunities how many times did Williams over run the pass, shocking for an international.

Well done Ireland a well deserved Grand Slam clearly the best team.
