Yep Jones needs to give them a rocket.

Poor start but the ref really needs to keep an eye on them around the ruck, they're going off their feet a lot which is creating a lot of the momentum.

St Patrick's weekend, the chance to shove all this world record / all time great team / grand slam hype down our throats?  There's no way we're coming out of this with a win, this was always going to happen.

[PaulWinch again]

Ireland have done well, but England have been woeful.

[PaulWinch again]

England need a massive 20 mins.

[olaftab]

Well let's see how his "finishers" do today?

[PaulWinch again]

Game gone.

[PaulWinch again]

You cannot play so poorly and rely on the last 20 mins. Brown should be done now.

[PaulWinch again]

Never the less England are comfortably the best side and need to use this as a learning game.

[Proposition Joe]

Happens every time (except when we had a Johnno who absolutely refused to let it happen one more time). Them spoiling our party is almost like a World Cup win to them, and the atmosphere reflects it. At least Jones will have seen who can handle that kind of atmosphere and who wilts.

Not a big Rugby fan at all but do watch a few more of the games when the 6 nations is on.

When was the last time out of interest a national team won the competition when they had just 2 home games in their fixture list....England always seem to win it when they're scheduled with 3 home games although I could be completely wrong on that! (Which I am given they won it last year).

I'd much rather see if it was possible them all to play 3 home and 3 away in the tournament. It's a bit like 10 premier league sides playing more homes and the other 10 teams have one more away game, it just distorts things a little bit as we saw tonight how massive home advantage is in Rugby.

Each team only plays 5 games, so it's  difficult to play 3 & 3 😊

Let Georgia in and it wouldn't be a problem

Let Georgia in and it wouldn't be a problem

I was thinking that today.  The competition is probably my favourite annual sporting event, yet it's not exactly the fairest with the differing number of home/away matches.
Plus Georgia would be weirdly wonderful away trip.

I was on more about the posters below are saying...let in Georgia and then you can have 3 home and aways with one team not playing each weekend (although it would stagger the competition out a bit longer).
