England vs Ireland WC warm up

PTH2009 · 24-08-2019 01:58PM #1

Need a strong showing here and most important no injuries

EverythingGood · 24-08-2019 01:59PM

Slightly off topic but whats with the over militarisation of England games? Soldiers everywhere.

What station is this on?

Kevski · 24-08-2019 02:01PM

Too warm for VDF to wear a scrum cap today

If you don't have Sky Sports Main Event like me. RTÉ Radio 1 has coverage of it right now if you are not near a TV.

If you miss the game on TV. You can see highlights of it on BBC Two at 7:30pm tonight.

Poor from Murray/Kearney there

troyzer · 24-08-2019 02:08PM

Awful, awful start.

Healy getting split twice on the scrum is a big worry. Looseheads are not supposed to get beaten by tightheads.

dublinman1990 · 24-08-2019 02:10PM

Jordan Larmour has a try.

Euphoriasean · 24-08-2019 02:10PM

Forward?

ionadnapóca · 24-08-2019 02:10PM

Kicks are good

vienne86 · 24-08-2019 02:10PM

Great work from Stockdale there, and fair play to Larmour for getting across.

Looked forward.

vienne86 · 24-08-2019 02:11PM

Nice kick by Byrne.

Dwarf.Shortage · 24-08-2019 02:11PM

Does anyone know a good television repair man in Wicklow? Rob Kearney just threw a weapon of an offload on my TV it’s clearly ****ed

24-08-2019 02:11PM

Lovely stuff.

Former Former · 24-08-2019 02:12PM

Great steal from Henderson, skip pass from Kearney, weighted chip from Stockdale. Lovely try.

Peregrine · 24-08-2019 02:12PM

Got a feeling of deja vu when Stockdale kicked it there.

Looked forward to me ....

vienne86 · 24-08-2019 02:14PM

Kearney starting well.

Clegg · 24-08-2019 02:14PM

I felt something was off when I started watching the game. I've found out what it is.

VdF isn't wearing a scrum cup.

24-08-2019 02:15PM

Ringrose nearly knocked himself out tackling Marler there.

vienne86 · 24-08-2019 02:15PM

Now that was far too easy.

troyzer · 24-08-2019 02:15PM

Schoolboy error.

Nothing worse than giving up a score on 1st phase.

dublinman1990 · 24-08-2019 02:15PM

I just heard Joe Cokansiga got a try for England.

EDIT: Sorry for the mistake about Johnnie May. I'm not used to following radio coverage of these matches.

Where did you hear that?

24-08-2019 02:16PM

Murray poor so far

Former Former · 24-08-2019 02:16PM

Defensive structure was all wrong there.

ongarite · 24-08-2019 02:17PM

Quinlan blaming Murray there for bad decision in that scrum attack.

troyzer · 24-08-2019 02:21PM

Murray playing badly.

Looks like the same player in the Six Nations so far.

Faugheen · 24-08-2019 02:22PM

Larmour has played very intelligent rugby so far.

Itoje is everywhere

dublinman1990 · 24-08-2019 02:24PM

Here's photos of the first two tries.

Clegg · 24-08-2019 02:25PM

We're kicking quite a bit to beat England's fast up press. Not a bad tactic to be fair. England seem well up for the physical battle and getting the better of it so far.

I agree, and it's worrying.

24-08-2019 02:27PM

None of our ball carriers are coming at pace

Yet. England working very hard, think we'll find more go forward as the game progresses.

Dwarf.Shortage · 24-08-2019 02:29PM

Kearney has been the phoneboxed twice in 10 minutes

troyzer · 24-08-2019 02:30PM

Cian Healy just absolutely blasted the ball up field.

Kearney caught flat footed twice now.

Clegg · 24-08-2019 02:30PM

Interesting that Healy blocked that from an offside position but wasn't penalised. Is it because Youngs obviously played it off him?

24-08-2019 02:30PM

**** off Ben Youngs

AbusesToilets · 24-08-2019 02:31PM

Murray's passes are fairly glacial at the moment.

24-08-2019 02:31PM

Henderson playing amazing stuff. Motm for Ireland so far.

There was no ruck so Healy wasn’t actually offside

Naggdefy · 24-08-2019 02:31PM

Worryingly Ireland in bother with powerful quick off the line tackling teams.

To counter that you need a slick, quick varied game. We don't have that last 7 mts. It starts with Murray.

I thought that but I don't think he was offside.

troyzer · 24-08-2019 02:32PM

Stander nearly costing a try there.

His inability to pass is why Conan should be starting these games.

FrancieBrady · 24-08-2019 02:33PM

Beirne kicking a dream!

Yeah. Should have been offside but Owens felt the cynical play to deliberate manufacture a penalty negated the offside and played on.

Clegg · 24-08-2019 02:33PM

Murray was knocked out immediately there.

troyzer · 24-08-2019 02:34PM

Murray just got speed bumped badly. He's still down.
