England vs Ireland 6N 2026

Tommy with a sweet take. McCloskey through, almost gets there. JGP to Baloucoune and over.

Weak defense Ollie.

Wow, what a try, big 12 breaks the line, pulled down 5 meters, Gibson keeps his head and get the ball to the winger. Well played Ireland

England knocked back on their heels, looking punch drunk

Now a yellow for their troubles, Steward in the bin

Freddie off with yellow for cynical play.

Lawrence misses a tackle in midfield as he tries a DDA hug tackle.

...and Ireland are in again.

Stewart off for playing the 9.

Double hit hit for the Poms.

Another miss for Crawley from the tee

15-0

"though his surname is my first name."

Doris?

Ringrose?

O'Toole?

Tell me if I'm getting warm.

Come on England.

Another breakout by Ireland, Van der Flier into the gap, some wrong options from there and it ends with Crowley kicking a poor one into the 22 for England to mark.

Ireland break again directly from the kickoff

Stupid Italian ref is down...Gay!

Oh no, will we see the ref getting sub. Knee gone , haven't see this for a while

Ref is broken, goes off for repairs.

Pollock is quite fast.

I think Plummie's name is Doris and I'm sticking to it.

Pollock is quite fast?

I think he's possibly the quickest forward in Test rugby atm

Pollock is quite fast.

He is, seen some of his videos at junior level, proper pace.

Ireland has found a proper wing in Baloucoune. He puts O'Brien away.

Dingwallus fast asleep in the defensive line there.

England getting hammered as O'Brien gets a well deserved score.

This O'Brien will play well over 100 tests for Ireland

England looking like circa 2023.

"I think Plummie's name is Doris and I'm sticking to it."

Doris Norris...Chuck is my dad

Those two missed penalty touches by Ford may have had a significant impact. Two chances at scoring just tossed away early on. JGP's tap try set the tone from there.

Turnover ball by Pollock, England attack, fluffs it again and Ireland has it.

Ford gets space and does nothing of value other than a poorly timed pass. Bore-Thick's teams deserve to get punished.

Yet Marcus remains on the bench.

England needs to score now

That ruck was formed...but Ireland get the penalty regardless

Freddie back, not sure anyone will notice.

Earls at #7 and Pollock at #8 is also a big question mark for me.

Nothing like watching forwards chase each other for 50m hahaha

Ollie lucky not to get penalized there for jumping into the tackle.

Nothing like watching forwards chase each other for 50m hahaha

And then getting called back.

Marcus on at 15 for Freddie.

Marcus warming up...

England did so many good things but not the important thing which is to convert it all into points.

Their lack of patience hurt them more than anything else in this half

Bore-Thick brings on Marcus . . . but at fullback.

England finally get a try through Dingwall. Very patient build up.

Marcus with the little pause and show puts England over eventually.

England needs this score...they go and go and and eventually Smith puts Dingwall in.

Game on

22-7 HT. All Ireland but a sniff there for England.
