Ridiculous red card. Gee these French refs like to flash the cards.

[Victor Meldrew]

Another Red in the 6N.

Bundi O'Aki sent off.

[sparky]

Ben Youngs in. Super soft try. Game on?

[sparky]

Ireland 26 England 11.

[sparky]

Sexton with another penalty. Ireland 29 England 11 with ten to play.

[sparky]

Even playing 15 to 14 England are giving away soft, unforced penalties.

[sparky]

England have given away 14 penalties and there's eight minutes to go.

[Victor Meldrew]

All Ireland - even with 14 men.

England giving away penalties almost every time they get possession. Another dumb penalty in front of their posts.

[Victor Meldrew]

Do England have a forward leader?

[Bones]

Holy shit this discipline is unreal.

Imagine what England would do to the ABs eh.

[sparky]

So easy for Ireland.

[sparky]

Sexton with another penalty. 32-11

[sparky]

Shambolic for England.

[Bones]

Brilliant. England finally get a penalty, take the quick tap, spins a wide pass to Genge in the middle of the field, who takes it straight up the guts and is tackled by Curry before he hits the defence.

Ireland were in disarray, backpedaling and down to 14 men.

🤦

Greatness is high standards and consistency. Based on that, this is not a great England side.

Fair play to Ireland though, had a poor start but finished strongly.

[sparky]

Murray off. Ireland down to 13 men.

Sums them up perfectly - all their problems are in their heads. They have no ability to do anything other than go smash and go all disruptive

Worst England performance since RWC2015, for me.

Shambolic, ill-disciplined, nil leadership and no rugby smarts whatsoever.

Looks like Maro Itoje has been captain since Owen Farrell went off.

[Bones]

Now Genge thinks it's tough to talk smack to Sexton and continue on even after the ref told him to calm down. What a mong.
