England vs Ireland 6N 2026

How are England not selecting Marcus at 10?

I don't get it.

Ford is gritty and gives it everything but he has less Xfactor than a turd.

Nice to see so many of you on a match thread anyway.

Twickers looks like a home game for Ireland....bunch of Paddies and the Guinness logos everywhere.

2nd half...Cumon Marcus

"Nice to see so many of you on a match thread anyway."

Nice to have company while watching a match alone...and sometimes I actually prefer this company to the actual company...but that would be rude to the actual company ;-)

Pollock off with a yellow. That's probably the game.

Doris cuts open the England defense, JGP goes for the line, might have let it go to the numbers next to him. Held up, Pollock yellow.

Oops...

Sheehan over. Nice to see something else than just bash and bash, Ireland actually using some deception and hands.

Doris straight through...

zero defence from England

Pollock eats a yellow

Ireland go for the tap on the English 5m

a few phases and Ireland go over

Thats probably the game

Suiker kannie in Pollock se mond smelt nie...but how was that clean out legal?

Crowley's radar starts working, 29-7.

If England defend like this against us we're gonna batter the daylights out of them

LOL, Temu Henry giving the ref a piece of his mind and costs England 10m more in the penalty.

And Ireland are back in England's 22....again

Calamity George now gets the 5m lineout for England.

England are some, so much for revival. They were all cock and hoop at the end of last year claiming they are the best and would beat SA hands down

England now with a chance to make some inroads as they have a lineout on the Irish 5m

maul...and England get penalised

Croc roll England, Ireland can clear.

McCloskey gets away with a shoulder hit there. Or was that the penalty?

Nice try England, Lawrence over and yellow Ireland.

Another English lineout in Ireland's 22....

Pollock with a nice fend and offload

Eventually Ollie Lawrence gets it in miles of space and goes over.

...and Ireland eat a yellow.

25 minutes to go

14-29

Dingwallus drops it as England looked about to break out.

England trying to force the issue now.

32-14

Oh FFS...now Ford gets held up.

Ford monstered and held up. Ireland ball.

McCloskey did well to get into the line and cut off the pass.

Beautiful ball from Marcus to Pollock gets the man over, Freeman not the pace to get there and the cover gets him.

Nice delayed pass by Marcus to Pollock who set Freeman off on the wing but he stupidly doesn't cut back in and is bundled into touch

England needs some vavavoom on the wings.

England sealing off, penalty in front. 35-14

Another penalty to Ireland and 3 more points...

35-14

Ireland turnover, JGP kicks ahead, Marcus isolated, Ireland penalty.

Osborne over. Ireland doing about as they please now.

And other penalty as Marcus gets isolated on his try line from a JGP dink ahead

Ireland maul...

Phases on England's line.

and more phases

and Osborne goes over.

and that's enough for me.

Somebody will need to console Becs

Cheers Paks...I'm off to burn my England jersey

England turned over again. Just not getting to the breakdowns.

Cheers Doris, use it to start 'n braaivuurtjie my broer.

Geeze where has this guy Mcloscy been, run down Marcus Smith. Great pace for a big lug like him
