As a Kiwi does second place at RWC make Foster's tenure a success for you?

Direction-wise, yes, though it was painful travel. For me the frustration was lack of consistency - brilliant one game, dross the next - but you always felt they had a big game due.

I don't get the same vibe with Borthwick's England though.

Ireland on the board already at Twickenham.

England 0 Ireland 3.

[Billy Tell]

That was great from England. Ran straight and draw and pass

[sparky]

And England respond with a Try. Ollie Lawrence in. England 5 Ireland 3.

[Bones]

Jesus, can't believe that was England! Don't think that Irish player will be rushing to make a spot tackle again.

[sparky]

Ireland lose a Wing. Might their 6-2 split back fire?

[sparky]

England win a scrum penalty and the Twickenham crowd roar louder than they did for the try.

[sparky]

England 10m out.

[sparky]

Great steal by Van Der Flyer with England deep on attack.

[sparky]

England on attack again. Lively start by them.

[Billy Tell]

Do England think they are nz?! Never seen such a running English side!

[Victor Meldrew]

Itojie is getting thru a power of work so far.

[sparky]

England recycling the ball very quickly and causing Ireland problems.

[sparky]

Alex Mitchell keeping it at a high tempo. England struggling a wee bit for accuracy though.

[Bones]

Borthwick is good at saving his skin eh. Pulls one out the bag every so often.

[sparky]

England with a penalty that they should get.

Robertson should store away quick ball off the top straight out to midfield. Ireland look in difficulty.

[sparky]

Ford gets it. England 8 Ireland 3.

[Billy Tell]

That looks a harsh penalty to me.

[sparky]

Soft penalty conceded by Ollie Lawrence. An easy three for Ireland.

England 8 Ireland 6.
