Best England performance upfront for some time. Willis having a sensational game
Will make it even better when they win with 14.
More than possible if England keep up the pressure and keep their heads.

What makes it clear?

That should be the match. England need to find a 9, their current option is all sorts of average.

They also need to find a 10, 12 & 13. Been awful.

Their back up nine is dangerous

Fuck, that was a tough watch. Nerves getting to the Irish players on the occasion. First GS at home and all that.
Fair play to England for making that very difficult, even when down to 14 (I thought it was a yellow myself, Barnes would have probably just awarded a penalty!).

Really not convinced on that RC.
Infield argument was no mitigation but to me the starting premise was all wrong.
Was there head contact? Yes
Was there foul play? Very debatable. The player certainly looked to decide to pull away from a collision. Looked very accidental to me. Did he make the right choice in trying to pull out? No. But that’s not foul play. That’s a split second decision to try and avoid danger that went the other way.
Add to that the Ireland player charged head first into contact while out of control while regathering and it was all just a rugby accident to my eyes. -

That is not foul play! Guy braced himself. Fuck that’s crap.
He ran into a guy's head, elbow and shoulder first. Hard to come up with a more clear red card.
If he'd just carried on with a legal tackle then no problems
I dunno. No doubt you played rugby too but I reckon he just braced himself. I’ll have to look again. I wish they’d do super rugby and give him 10. Then the tmo can calmly review. But the tmo today is the worst in the business.
I thought George Ayoub had retired!

Just like "Deliberate Knock-On" doesn't actually/literally define what the offence actually is.
"just a rugby accident" - which involves contact to the head - is Foul Play. And will be penalised.
The sooner the players realise that - the less cards there will be.
The sooner the pundits realise that - the sooner we can stop hearing the infantile whines of "The game is an absolute joke."
