6N England v Ireland

[sparky]

Ireland with a long kick to take the lead.

[Billy Tell]

Hmmm. O’Aki not supporting his weight there.

[sparky]

England 8 Ireland 9.

[akan004]

Ireland do remind me of the great AB teams. All the pressure on them but they have managed to absorb it, and are somehow ahead atm.

[MajorRage]

Henshaw basically just did the best bit of defending EVER.

Pom dropping it cold was all because of the defensive read.

Absolute load of wank. STFU.

[sparky]

Back foot infringement by England. Ireland with an easy penalty.

It's going to England 8 Ireland 12 heading into the break.

[sparky]

The England team will be thinking WTF. They have had all the attacking chances in that half but are 4 points down at half time.

Not enough patience in the red zone.

[sparky]

Start of second half. England hard on attack and then their forwards flock in at the side. Dumb stuff.

[sparky]

James Lowe in for Ireland.

[sparky]

England 8 Ireland 17.

[sparky]

Furbank in for England.

England 13 Ireland 17.

[sparky]

Great work by Itoje there.

[sparky]

Ford misses another kick.

[sparky]

Crowley staggering around. Surely he has to go off for a HIA?

[sparky]

Crowley off. The 6-2 split means Gibson-Park is on the wing.

[MajorRage]

Ford awful today.

Ireland such a superior team and expect it to show on the scoreboard over the next 20 mins.

[sparky]

You begin to realise why Owen Farrell won so many caps for England.

[sparky]

Big carry by Ben Earl. Cynical by Ireland. Surely down to 14 at least for a bit.

[sparky]

Peter O'Mahoney sent to the sin bin.
