….Ireland get the penalty – go for touch
Ireland attack hard, but ball goes dead, England 22 dropout.
28 @ Just For Kicks:
Hi JFK yes looks like it man, think they will be really tired by mid way through 2nd half if they carry on at this space so unless Ireland have a big lead by then think England will take it with a better bench, the likes of Vunipola the prop and big Ben Morgan to run at Ireland late on, ouch.
Brown has magic feet – reminds me of O’Driscoll of old
Mike Brown just keeps on impressing each time I see him play.
SNAP JFK re Brown, great minds think alike 🙂
Ireland turnover
36 @ Bullscot:Hahaha
Lovely hands form trimble
1 @ Just For Kicks:
Thanks for the hard work here lonely and all keep it up JFK.
Ireland taking the ball up deep in England 22 good retention
Ireland 1m out
Desperate defence by England wasn’t good initially, Trimble almost got there for Ireland
Aaaarghhhh, and they fluff it. England penalty. Good defence in the end
I just seen close of play score in PE, SA in a good position 369 runs ahead with 6 wickets in hand.
England inside Ireland 22
44 @ Just For Kicks:
What you supporting Ireland!?
End to end stuff
44 @ Bullscot: Ever so slightly, simply because they can keep Grand Slam alive
This time England fluff it
Farrell forgot he has arms, penalty Ireland
Both side look scared of the white line atm
Can’t believe in the 22nd minute and still no score here.
Penalty England – Ireland rolling to far
Farrell was really lucky not to get carded for that late no arms tackle
20 min gone, still no score
Farrell going for posts
Right on the edge of his range
Super kick Farrell!
….and over – England 3 / 0 Ireland (24 min)
