    They are

    Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Utterly blatant knock on earlier in the play

    Conversions and restarts have been killers.

    Unfortunately we again fail to win the kick off and now find ourselves in this position.

    And England punish us again for us not being able to retain our kick off. Almost certainly going to be 25-25 despite us scoring 1 more try, this is what happens when you don't get you're kicks at this level.

    Unfortunately officiating is really poor in u20 games. It's a starting point for refs so they don't have much experience at that level, but it's still annoying when you're at the receiving end of their incompetence.

    Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Put too much on that kick. It wasn't very good. So play will come back.

    If we lose this this really will be a game we lost rather than England won, so infuriating.


    Tbh I would take a 25-25 draw at this rate as we got a TBP and England dont meaning we will be level going into the final round but we have the much more winnable fixture.

    I don't want to rag on the ref but he's making this a bit painful


    On replay there is absolutely no penalty offence in that maul

    And now England have a chance now to take the lead all from a stupid kick...


    If we survive here we'll have done very well.

    No answer to the England bench unfortunately.

    Amazed there's been no yellow.

    If you dont win you're kick offs or take you're kicks at goal this is what can happen, if Ireland lose they've no-one to blame but themselves.

    That's probably the end of the match. Ireland need a mini miracle. This kick could be crucial as well.

    And it's gone over, so best we can hope for is a draw.
