Defense has been exceptional.

Bonus point win in Dublin, that's fucking massive.

[Meanwood Villa]

Great stuff

[Rudy Can't Fail]

What an athlete. He literally bounced off the ground. Even in slow motion he was fast.

[PaulWinch again]

It’s an outstanding performance, beating this Ireland team in Ireland is massive.

[cheltenhamlion]

Huge win. Best performance in a long time.

[paul_e]

A lot of very good performances but it was underpinned by incredible line speed in defence and some brilliant rucking to slow their ball down. Our offloading in their half was good as well because they struggled to get their defensive line set and couldn't slow us down.

[Jon Crofts]

Could and should have been by more, we played Ireland and the referee yet again, their first try is blatantly held up, not even a query to TMO, Vunipola’s try ruled out incorrectly and time and again you could clearly hear leave it green repeated 4 times at a ruck but as soon as an England hand gets near it’s a penalty straight away.

Rant over.

That team looks like it’s finally the one Jones wants, tactical masterclass brilliantly executed and the defensive line was so fast, Ireland just got overwhelmed, the stats don’t lie our tackling seemed to push them back every single time, immense, bring on the frogs next Sunday.

[Brazilian Villain]

That'll teach the "scummy Irish", "micks" when we're  getting all "uppity". Hopefully our  revenge will be the laughter of our children come Nov 2. Oiche mhaith ar fad!

Mako attempted 26 tackles and completed 25, that's fucking ridiculous for a prop.

I agree on the ref, and, to repeat myself, the yellow card was a shocker, you see tackles like that every week in the domestic game and I've never seen one given as a card. He may have been able to pull out (but I think he was committed) but even if it was judged as late it was a textbook tackle, there was nothing dangerous there, never a yellow card. Ruling out the Mako try was a horrible call, again you see players get a shove over the line like that regularly and they normally don't even get checked. There were also plenty of examples of us winning the breakdown and them either closing the ball off by falling on it or just hanging on and he never picked up on a single one of them, the Ringrose one on about 30-35 minutes was bizarre, he had about 5 England players pointing it out and Nowell was desperately trying to pull the ball out of his arms and he just let it go.

Those bagpipes throughout the Scotland v Italy game made it almost unwatchable on TV

[nigel]

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.

Agree, Paul.
Thought the ref was poor today.

Jonathan Davies commentating makes any game unwatchable.

Huh?

[dave shelley]

Thank Fuck for that today.  The pub is going to be nice and quiet tonight and I won't have to put up with the usual shit and pretend I'm happy about it.
