Pre-RWC test matches

That should have been a yellow against Tuilagi.

Just can't help himself.

Tom Curry in for a try. Ireland are being bullied by England's super physical game. England are making the passes stick.

43-10 with 23 minutes to go.

[sparky]

Best Rugby performance I've seen all year.

I didn't see anything wrong with it.

@sparky I agree the officials had a look. They thought it was ok. That's sufficient, no?

Nigel Owens showing all the other refs on the RWC panel how to do it.

Cokanasiga in. 50-10. Massacre.

Ireland have been disappointing; England have been outstanding.

[Frye]

I have not seen someone so adept at not making tackles as Stockdale since Roger Randle

Mall broken again already?

@Disgusted-of-TW Mako broken again already?

If that's the new directive / standard, then fair enough.

But we all know it isn't.

He led with his right shoulder and made contact with his right shoulder with his left arm low and slow like he'd broken it.

9 times out of 10 it's a yellow.

England win against Ireland by a record margin 57-15. They scored eight tries.

Highlights of England crushing Ireland. Ruthless.

@sparky Ireland peaked too early?

Sure seems like it, they were imperious in the long winning streak and beating ABs etc. But last 6N and now, not so much. But I find it so hard to read into these games, look at ABs v Oz, and Sco vs Fr, and Wales v Eng - different results a week apart. Quite different in the case of some of them.

Still if Ire and Wales share their next 2 tests, we'll be rightfully on top of the rankings
