Come on England, lovely start

Curry you fucking idiot.

Curry you fucking idiot.

Nah, that yellow is bullshit, nothing wrong with the tackle other than being half a second late. It's a penalty but never a yellow card, awful decision.

[PaulWinch again]

It was a yellow for me.

Is Tuilagi injured or unfit?

[PaulWinch again]

Giving away too many penalties. We need to pull this back.

[PaulWinch again]

Get over! Lovely response.

[PaulWinch again]

Attacking shape much better than it has been for a long time.

[paul_e]

Giving away too many penalties. We need to pull this back.

I reckon 2 of the penalties we've gave away were harsh, the Itoje one was particularly shit, Ireland are good at buying soft penalties though, it's a trick they've learned from the all blacks.

[paul_e]

Another bit of iffy reffing, how ddi ringrose not get pinged for hanging on, Nowell clearly won the turnover.

[PaulWinch again]

That should have been a pen in front of the posts.

[paul_e]

England are easily the better team here, the yellow card and some unlucky calls evened things up for a while but as soon as the game is flowing we're totally on top.

[PaulWinch again]

We’ve been much the better side, we better win this.

[paul_e]

I've seen tries like that given, we can feel pretty hard done by for a fair few decisions in that half. A ref who was slightly more sympathetic to us we'd be 15 points up here.

[PaulWinch again]

I’m encouraged by this. This is the sort of level we were hitting a couple of years ago.

That Irish try doesn’t look like it was grounded, there’s an English hand under the ball.
