It’s better, ticht. Much more on attack. Defence is almost flawless.

17 point wind? I don’t think so.
We are being utterly dominated.

Albeit Ireland aren’t as good as the All Blacks.

This is a bit like the England performance in the first half against us last year. The deficit might not be 31 points, but I’m not sure Ireland can come back from this. Maybe Johnny needs to have an argument with Farrell at half time?

One way traffic. Saes very sharp.

Trouble with that is Farrell’d probably clock Sexton.

Menacing.

For all their dominance, England’s two tries have been fortunate. They’ve been miles better than Ireland if they fix some accuracy close in they could hit 50.
LikeLike
D’ye think Ireland’s coach will be suggesting that the boys nobble England’s kicker?
LikeLike
Did Sinckler give it a bit of mocking celebration at the end of the half? Looked as if Itoje was pulling him away from the ruck.

There was one spin pass from Sinckler down the left that was very nice. He may even have swished his hips.

If Ireland do get properly humped here (no Iks, not the gay porn channel) would that mean the end for Murray and Sexton (and perhaps a few others) or do they go to the end of the championship?

Even if they lose here they are likely to go into Heidelberg Saturday with a (slim) chance of winning the championship and in Paris

30 to go and if Ireland can keep the momentum going they’re well back in it. Not with shit kicking like that though. 5 points could be the margin.

Aki survived the clear out and Peyper then penalises him when the second wave get him.
