Great English defence when under a lot of pressure, and a man down for 20 mins too. When they finally find out how to play a full 80 mins with 15 men on the field all the time, and cut the number of penalties that they give a way by half then they will be a team to be recond with by all other sides. Looking forward to the Welsh game in 2 wks time.....Bring them on.Happy

Give ours some time micky, the team is starting to gelWink.....Cool

...I guess your right Bt, just want it now. Although a solid performance they just seem to lack a little invention and innovation in the half backs. Probably down to the work of the Irish pair mind!

Sorry guys but I switched the Ireland Englamd match off when the camera captured an English player kicking an Irish player four times on the head when the Irishman was on the floor. IMO totally gratuatous.  The referee took no action.  That sort of behavior is unacceptable.  It was a poor rugby match .

K, if you'd have hung around you'd have seen it with the ref & TMO looking at the evidence-accidental, He was was caught in the reverse swing as the player was going for the ball. I guess with you being blinkered the facts never get in the way of your prejudice, sorry to give you the facts. I doubt it will change your MO.

K, pretty it wasn't but you are permitted to kick the ball through the ruck. He was attempting to do that! That was the conclusion of the refs.

The rule needs addressing if you think that's wrong, eh!Surprised

K... you must have watched a different match to me, as R2b states, the kicks were not deliberate. It was a good rugby match, but then again I am an English supporter, though I do give praise where praise is due......Cool

...to be fair Bt, the kicks at the ball were deliberate, no way was he aiming them at the man though. This kicking of the ball in this way is legitamate as it is within the rules! Now if the kicks were aimed at the man then Ks comment would be justified but they weren't!

There's a parody here 'somewhere'!Wink

From the start of this latest 6 nations competition, my prediction was that England will easily win overall. Great to see that my choice is well on the way to achieving this.  Good on them.

here are my list of possible winners in order of importance .  Scotland , Wales , France , Ireland , England , Italy.  I hope the eventual winner comes from the first four in the list.  I like to see the small nations doing well.

This was your post-'from the start' K. Your memory is a little out I'm afraid. You have backed England as the tournament has progressed. We English folk appreciate thatHappy
