Super stuff from England. A great watch.

Faugheen

How can you list out all those penalties and not hand out a card?

Dave_The_Sheep

Does this ref or TMO do cards?

Lundstram

Referee has given Wales absolutely nothing all game. He's been awful.

kal7

No yellow for england, for 5 penalties in red zone. Like watching reffing of new zealand, penalties galore, no action until 70min and game decided.

razorblunt

Not a hope that English defensive line is onside.

steves2

England really getting every call in this game

razorblunt

Genge has to go here.

Hope england don't get BP.
With all kicking, don't deserve it, even though better team so do deserve win

Squidgy Black

North with yet another knock in the head

Lundstram

Should be red. Disgusting and cowardly tackle.

Aidric

Brutal physicality by England bordering on the illegal. Just as well they have the ref in their pocket.

A-Train

Manu with the usual dirty hit

razorblunt

Filth from Tuilagi. Been coming from the first 5 minutes but that was incredibly dangerous.

Dallaglio says it’s a penalty only. If Tuilagi had pockets his right arm would be in there it was so much at his side.

Burkie1203

Has to be red

Boscoirl

Tuilagi has barely used arms all day

Faugheen

I hate this ‘does he try to wrap his arm’ bull****. Tuilagi has gone out to do him there and it’s a red all day long.

kal7

North lucky he got head out of the way

Weepsie

Jones England are absolutely dirt.

Continually offside is one thing but, high tackles, dangerous tackles are constant and another.


It's not on the limit. They've been allowed away with it for some time now. Bu being let away with the little things they've gotten worse at the dangerous things

He encourages it too. They're absolute scum as far as I'm concerned.

A-Train

Has to be red

Clegg

Twickenham crowd not covering themselves in glory with their booing.

eclipsechaser

That's probably not even the worst tackle of the match.

Don't think he did, copped an elbow to the face it seems as first point of contact

Dave_The_Sheep

That's a red.

I'm behind on my stream, but this ref is looking for a reason to not give one.

is_that_so

Yeah, a clear red, took them long enough.

P.Walnuts

Tualagi has been, and always will be an absolute tramp

razorblunt

ITV and their imported Bt Sport comms team really do let themselves down with their repeated bias. Dallaglio is still adamant it was harsh.
At least it’s free to air, imagine paying for that shïte.

Haha, was just about to ask if Dallaglio is always this biased, he's lost the run of himself altogether but I don't recall thinking he was particularly bad ever before

thomond2006

Going through the forwards when you're two men up has to be the dumbest **** I've ever seen in a rugby match.

Dallaglio is as biased as they get. Saw nothing wrong with Farrell's scumbaggery in the last match either

Clegg

Wales had a four on one overlap they blew. Still scored the try but some shocking skills there.

fitz

I really wish England's consistent foul play was penalised earlier in games. The fact that they keep getting away with some of stuff they've been at all tournament only encourages them to continue with it.

I hope there's a heavy ban coming for Marler.

Tuilagi is nearly always borderline illegal in his tackles, he's a nasty player.

perrito caliente

Whole RTE commentary team salvating at Tulagi's "massive hit" in the first five minutes of the match too. That one was a clear no arms tackle also.

Good result for Ireland all things considered. Com'on Scotland tomorrow.

joseywhales

Good result for Ireland, no bp for England means it's now in our hands, 10 points.

Rockbeast2

England are a great team but I wish they'd cut out the nasty element from their game. It's unnecessary, and potentially dangerous.

Nobody minds a bit of "niggle", but they're going beyond that now too often for it not to be a team directive IMO.

I asked the same question here. Seems like he’s gone off his rocker entirely.

swiwi_

The 6N needs to hand out more YCs. Every game it takes about 5 penalties in the red zone to get a “final warning”.

super_furry

Be very interested in what kind of disciplinary action Joe Marler will face.

pickarooney

Hope France win their remaining games and the tournament ends on time. Can't be having with postponements.

Not going to happen under Jones. They are instructed to bully the opposition by any means possible.

lawrencesummers

Lots of cribbing on here.
England play a tough physical and in your face game. They have the personnel to do it and They do it well. They hit you hard, come fast off the gain line, try and put pressure on the first receiver and force teams to kick.

Their discipline is a problem, but you have to match or at least cope with their physicality for their discipline to become a problem.


If you can’t handle the heat get out of the kitchen.

France could handle it
South Africa could handle it.
Wales dealt with it a lot better than we did.

Really nuanced response after a game where Marler sexually assaulted someone.

razorblunt

It will be interesting to see what happens to Marler, 12 weeks is the lighter end for that offence.

Eddie Jones’ comments are embarrassing though, the media sit their like nodding dogs though whilst his spits this guff out.

Ha ha ha ha.
That’s the snowflakiest thing I’ve read in a while.
It was a bit of craic

lawrencesummers

The simple fact of this game, and the game against us is that England won the collisions, they make dominant tackle after dominant tackle, challenge the ball and because their front 5 is so good it allows their backrow licence to put massive pressure on the ball.

People want to get hung up on an incident between marler and AWJ that you can be sure AWJ won’t care about now.


They have lost two of their best players in the vinoploa brothers and it hasn’t weakened them a huge amount. Imagine us losing furlong and Stander, it would be curtains.

Pete_Cavan

Did anyone else see the ad on VM after the game saying "stop excusing sexual harassment" when the woman rubs the lads shoulders? Puts Marlers actions into context. They should throw the book at him. He has been a scumbag his whole career, he'd be no loss to the game if we never saw him again.

Jesus christ. Look I know people cry about "snowflakes" and "the world going pc", but if you genuinely think it's acceptable to grab someone's balls and call it "a bit of craic" you're an absolute muppet

Fondling someone's genitals without consent is sexual assault. You don't agree?
Be a bit of craic if someone did that to your son, daughter, sister, brother, wife, etc, would it?
