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.

@mikethesnow said in NH International Rugby:
Hogg is no outside half
Maitland is definitely no full back
It was only Italy, they wanted to make it a bit closer.

Sinckler, Curry, Itoje. Possibly Slade.

@sparky said in NH International Rugby:
Ridiculous red card. Gee these French refs like to flash the cards.
A pathetic decision by the ref. Vunipola leading with his head down isn't a mitigating factor? I'm not sure what Aki is meant to do here.

Good Lord. Just watched a video of it, cannot believe a red for that. Aki dropped, knee was nearly on ground. Unless front on tackles are penalized, that happens multiple times per game.
Red? FFS.
Link that should work:

Billy dips into him. Red card for assaulting shoulder with head.
