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.
🤦
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

Greatness is high standards and consistency. Based on that, this is not a great England side.
Fair play too Ireland though, had a poor start but finished strongly.
Worst England performance since RWC2015, for me.
Shambolic, ill-disciplined, nil leadership and no rugby smarts whatsoever.

Do England have a forward leader?
Looks like Maro Itoje has been captain since Owen Farrell went off.

Explains a few things.

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.
Sexton has been great today. Really impressive performance.

He really is a dick.
That period just before Murray was binned sums up everything that’s wrong with England - man up with lots of space out wide to walk it in. Instead they slow it right down so they can pick and go straight into the teeth of the Irish forwards 😬

England at the mo are too much brawn and not enough brain. Reckon Jones’s goose is cooked.

They don’t need a coach to teach them how to bully the opposition - that’s just their DNA. They need someone like Jones to add other skills. He’s not done that he’s just made them even more English.

@junior Jason Ryles, an Aussie League player and the England skills coach, has been in Oz for the last few months because of the Covid siutation and has missed the last few months. Ed Robinson, ex-England coach Andy's son, has replaced him. Looks like Ryles was a big loss for them.

Hammered from 1-15, maybe not at 7.
Lots of Irish played themselves into the Lions.
Sexton and Murray timing their run to perfection.
I'm a massive Henshaw fan but wouldn't have been disappointed if Byrne got MOTM today.
Lots of English played themselves out.
Honestly if 30 were picked for the Lions tomorrow, then Curry would be in the match day 23 and there's no real need to pick any other Englishmen.

Bit harsh. Reckon they’d get a few on bench.

Hogg is no outside half
Maitland is definitely no full back
It was only Italy, they wanted to make it a bit closer.
